"The TT buying rate on the Rule 115 specified date (Rule 206 under the new Income-tax Act, 2025) — not the day you were paid, and never a Google rate — is the figure that goes into your return." — CA Juber Attar, TaxFetch e-CA Tax Expert
For taxpayers converting foreign income to rupees in their income-tax return, today's rise in the dollar and euro means a higher rupee value for each unit of foreign currency received. Rule 115 of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 (carried forward as Rule 206 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 from financial year 2026-27) requires the use of SBI's TT buying rate on the specified date or another notified rate, ensuring a uniform and official conversion basis. Accurate application of these prescribed rates is essential to avoid discrepancies during assessment.

What is SBI’s TT buying rate for USD today?
SBI's TT buying rate for the US dollar on 6 October 2026 is 95.91 rupees per unit.
Why does my ITR need the SBI TT buying rate and not a Google rate?
Rule 115 of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 and Rule 26 of the Foreign Exchange Management (Foreign Currency Accounts by a Person Resident in India) Regulations, 2015 specify SBI's telegraphic transfer buying rate as the official conversion rate for tax purposes, provisions carried forward as Rule 206 and Rule 207 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 from financial year 2026-27. Google or other market rates are not recognised by the Income-tax Department for reporting foreign income in your ITR.
Which date’s rate should I actually use?
Rule 115 fixes a specified date per income type — and the same specified dates carry forward as Rule 206 of the Income-tax Rules, 2026 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 (income of FY 2026-27 onward). In short: FY 2025-26 and earlier returns cite Rule 115; FY 2026-27 onward cite Rule 206 — the rate itself is SBI’s TT buying rate either way. Per income type — for foreign salary and RSU/ESOP perquisites it is the last day of the month before the month the income fell due; for capital gains, the last day of the month before the month of transfer; Schedule FA closing balances take the 31 December rate. Our free SBI TTBR lookup tool works the date rule out for you, steps back to the last published card when SBI issued none, and shows the archive back to January 2020 with every original PDF.
