Transfer details
Start with the cheapest, which is Aspora at 653,553.77 INR on AED 25,000.
You have 2 ways to pay, including bank transfer and debit card.
Cash at an exchange house counter works, and so does the salary card your wages land on.
You'll need your Emirates ID every time, not just the first.
Registering takes a few minutes with a UAE number. Once it's done, repeat transfers to the same person take seconds.
How much AED you send to India heavily affects the best ways and the cheapest options. Use the table below to check how the cheapest options change and how much more you'd get by comparing.

9 companies send money from the UAE to India, split between broker, app, multi-currency account, online, and global account, and more.
For frequent transfers home
If you send INR home monthly, money transfer apps like Aspora are the easiest with good AED/INR rates.
Botim, Careem Pay, and e& money are convenient but Aspora is cheaper.
On AED 25,000 transfer it will get you 653,553.77 INR in minutes - 24 hours (after 0 fee and 0% markup).
You'll need your Emirates ID and a UAE number to register.
For small urgent transfers
You can send AED to India now, and pay for it in the coming weeks.
Botim and Payit are good options, but it’s a credit, so it costs more and you can’t miss any payments.
We’ve covered this in more detail in our Send Now, Pay Later guide.
For mid-sized transfers from UAE
Sending AED 5,000 to India is usually cheaper with online money transfer services like Wise.
Wise gets you 647,285.08 INR on AED 25,000 transfer, with a AED 227.52 fee and 0.05% markup.
For sending large amounts
Brokers are great for international property, school fees abroad, or moving your savings home when you leave the UAE.
A broker like Regency FX charges no fee and adds 0.27% on AED/INR exchange rate with someone on the phone guiding you through the process.
For UAE businesses trading abroad
Global accounts are for businesses, paying overseas suppliers, collecting from customers abroad, and holding a few currencies at once.
Companies like IFX, Sokin, VertoFX, or Wise Business can handle the batch payments, invoices and multi-currency balances.
For receiving money
A multi-currency account lets you hold dirhams and/or INR side by side.
This is useful if you’re getting paid in INR, or travelling to India.
I’d suggest Currencies Direct for this.
Currencies Direct converts 647,285.08 INR at 0.95% markup and holds it until you send or spend it, and gives you account details to receive INR.
We've covered this in more detail in our guide to multi-currency accounts.

The UAE has plenty of ways to send money, but the branch fee, exchange rate and ID checks can change what works best for you.
For an AED 25,000 transfer to India, the current options look like this.
The cheapest option is Aspora, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 653,553.77 INR, which is 0.27% more than the next best option.
The fastest option is TapTap Send, funded by debit card with bank deposit in India. Your recipient gets 650,000 INR in minutes.
Banks, apps and exchange houses need to identify you.
Your Emirates ID and UAE mobile number normally cover a routine transfer, while a large or unusual payment can trigger questions about your salary and source of funds.
For property, tuition or moving savings when you leave the UAE, keep the sale agreement, school invoice or bank statement ready.
A transfer funded from your salary account is easier to explain than a large cash deposit made just before sending.
Currency exchange and remittance services require a Central Bank of the UAE licence.
Check the legal name in the CBUAE licensing register before handing over cash or uploading your ID.
The CBUAE consumer standards require licensed companies to show the exchange rate and fees before the transfer, then include the amount received and complaint details on the receipt.
Avoid a personal bank account or WhatsApp dealer offering a better rate outside a licensed branch.
The UAE's declaration rules for carrying cash across the border do not set a limit on an electronic transfer.
Your bank or exchange house can still set its own transaction limit and request additional documents.
If you send the same amount every month, complete the ID checks in the app or branch once and save the verified recipient.
This reduces mistakes without bypassing the checks on later transfers.
The dirham is pegged to the US dollar, but the AED/INR rate still moves. Checking the recent range helps you assess the amount offered in INR.
Mid-market rate:1 AED = 26.135177 INR
We track 9 licensed companies sending AED to India, refreshed in real time during live comparisons.
Because the dirham is fixed to the dollar, we compare on what arrives in INR rather than on the fee, alongside the deposit and payout options.
