    I have been given around $200 American dollars from my aunt who had come from the USA to India. I now need to know how to convert the dollar into rupees so I can get an idea of how much I would get, and find out when the best time to exchange would be.

    Along with this I would also like to know where I can get the money converted from?

    Hello and welcome to the forum!
    • 1 Indian Rupee = 0.0148 US Dollar (As of July 20, 2016)
    • 1 US Dollar = 67.17 Indian Rupees (As of July 20, 2016)
    So $200 would be equal to Rs. 13434.49. The Indian Rupees had been pretty stable for the past months. Here is the trend for the last few months:
    • July 15 - 67.07
    • July 11 - 67.11
    • July 1 - 67.24
    • June 30 - 67.51
    • June 23 - 67.29
    • June 15 - 67.08
    • June 10 - 66.84
    • June 2 - 67.22
    • May 27 - 66.96
    • May 25 - 67.28
    You can wait for a while until the rate increases. But it won't be a big increase and there's that chance of the rate going down as well.
