"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
Revised card: SBI reissued its rate card later on 28 October 2026; the figures below reflect the latest card of the day.
Today's lower rates across most major currencies—USD at 94.75, EUR at 104.53, GBP at 125.12—mean that taxpayers converting foreign income into rupees will report slightly less rupee equivalent compared to the previous card. For income-tax return purposes, the specified-date rate under Rule 115 (carried forward as Rule 206 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 from FY 2026-27) determines the conversion value, so using SBI's published TT buying rate on the date of receipt or accrual is mandatory. Movements like the USD drop of 0.05 rupees day-over-day can affect the taxable amount when foreign receipts are converted for ITR reporting.

What is SBI’s TT buying rate for USD today?
SBI's TT buying rate for USD on 28 October 2026 is 94.75 rupees per US dollar. This is the rate to be used for converting dollar income or receipts into rupees for income-tax purposes on this date.
Why does my ITR need the SBI TT buying rate and not a Google rate?
Rule 115 and Rule 26 of the Income-tax Rules, 1962 (carried forward as Rule 206 and Rule 207 under the Income-tax Act, 2025 regime from FY 2026-27) prescribe SBI's telegraphic transfer buying rate as the official conversion rate for foreign income, not commercial search-engine rates. Using the SBI TT buying rate ensures compliance with the specified-date valuation method mandated by the Income-tax Department.
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.
