GBP to INR Converter (British Pound to Indian Rupee)

The pound (GBP, £) and the Indian rupee (INR, ₹) are linked by history, trade and a large community: many families in Britain have relatives in Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala, Tamil Nadu or Bengal. Sterling is issued by the Bank of England, while the Reserve Bank of India controls the rupee, and each has 100 smaller units, pence and paise.

People searching for pounds to rupees are often British residents who send money for weddings, medical bills, a parent’s care or a mortgage back home. Others are UK companies with offices and suppliers in India, graduates comparing salaries, and travelers who plan a month across Delhi, Mumbai or Bengaluru and need a budget in rupees.

How to use this tool

1. Type an amount in GBP to see it in INR, or type in the INR box to convert the other way.
2. Read the rate line under the boxes: it shows the saved rate and its date.
3. Use the tables below for common amounts, or open the currency converter for any other currency.

Formula

INR amount = GBP amount × rate

GBP amount = INR amount ÷ rate

The rate is the value of 1 GBP in INR from the snapshot of 2026-11-10. Both currencies are priced in US dollars in the same table, so the rate is the INR per USD figure divided by the GBP per USD figure. A bank's buying and selling rates sit on either side of this mid-market figure.

Example

Two conversions at the saved rate:

300 GBP × 126.131 = 37,839.28 INR

100,000 INR ÷ 126.131 = 792.83 GBP

Sending pounds to an Indian account

Bank transfers and money transfer firms are the usual routes between the UK and India. They differ in how they price the exchange: some show a low fee and a poorer rate, others a higher fee and a rate closer to the mid-market figure. Compare the final rupee amount that will arrive. Transfers may need the recipient’s IFSC code, which identifies the Indian bank branch.

Indian rules on foreign exchange are published by the Reserve Bank of India, and recipients of large gifts or payments should look at the tax and reporting rules that apply to them.

Understanding lakh amounts

A figure such as 25 lakh means 2,500,000 rupees, and 1 crore means 10,000,000. Indian property, wedding and salary figures use these words, so writing them out in digits before converting avoids errors of a factor of ten. The tables on this page also list rupee amounts in the reverse direction for this reason.

Quick mental estimate

Multiply GBP by 130 for a rough INR figure: 20 GBP → about 2,600 INR. That factor is 3.1% above the saved rate.
