How to send money from India to UAE

Pick a company

For a one-off INR transfer to UAE, I suggest picking the cheapest option which is Regency FX.

Regency FX was the cheapest on 29 of the 29 days it quoted ₹600,000 transfers to UAE.

On a 600,000 INR transfer, Regency FX delivers the most AED.

The best option will change depending on how much you actually send, so I suggest to get the best INR/AED rate.

Fund your transfer

You can fund your transfer via bank transfer.

Most people pay with UPI straight from their banking app, and it reaches the money transfer company account in seconds.

For a large amount (10+ lakhs), ask for RTGS instead, it clears quicker than the everyday rails.

Verify and send

You'll need your PAN and a signed Form A2 before the money can leave the country.

Start a first transfer a few days early.

Compare amounts

Exchange rateFeeRecipient getsDifference

Each line shows what the recipient gets when you send ₹6,00,000, after fees, as quoted by each company. The mid-market line shows what ₹6,00,000 converts to at the real exchange rate, with no fees or markup. Rates are checked once a day. Sponsored placements never affect this data. There are no bank quotes for this period.

The dashed line is what you'd get at the mid-market rate with no fees, and the blue line is the cheapest option that day.

When the blue line goes above the dashed one, you're getting more AED per INR than the mid-market rate can offer.

This could be due to money transfer offers, FX rate adjustments, or market competitiveness.

No company, app or bank beat the mid-market rate over the past month, meaning you lose a bit of AED on every transfer from India.

Right now, Regency FX pays 23,080.11 AED on 600,000 INR, which is 62.49 AED less than the mid-market amount.

Today's payout isn't the best this month though, since the highest receive amount was 23,212.36 AED.

If you can wait and want to get the most out of your transfer, create a rate alert and we'll let you know when the rate improves.

Cheapest over time

Picking the cheapest money transfer company

Just because a company is the cheapest today doesn't mean it's always the best option for sending money to UAE.

We've tracked 152 comparisons to check how often today's top companies were the cheapest across 6 amounts over the past month.

  1. Regency FXAppeared in 54 comparisons

    Cheapest every time

  2. WiseAppeared in 149 comparisons

    Cheapest in 64% of them

Based on 152 comparisons across 6 amounts over the last 30 days.

Different companies can come out cheapest depending on the day and the amount you send.

To keep things fair, we only count the comparisons each company appeared in, and only analyse companies that appeared in at least 50% of all comparisons (so occasional cheapest options don't skew it).

Today Regency FX is the cheapest, but it only quotes some of the amounts we track, so it isn't included in these figures.

Wise (today's second cheapest) was the cheapest in 64% of its comparisons, so if you send money to UAE regularly, it's worth comparing it with Regency FX before each transfer.

Ways to send money from India to UAE

You have 2 options to send money to United Arab Emirates from India.

Easiest way to send INR

Online transfers

Online services and apps are simple and cheap for INR to the United Arab Emirates transfers.

It works well for tuition deposits, living costs, and other ongoing payments to UAE.

Wise charges 7375.95 INR in fees to send ₹600,000, which will get your recipient around 22,855.85 AED.

In our comparisons over the past month, it was the cheapest online service on 30 of the 30 days it quoted.

Spending and receiving

Multi-currency accounts

With Wise you can hold INR and AED in one account and swap between them when you need.

Over the past month, Wise came out cheapest among multi-currency accounts on 100% of days.

And you get AED and INR banking details to receive payments.

Useful if you’re studying in the United Arab Emirates, travelling there often, or getting paid in AED.

Making business payments

Global accounts

Business payments supported by an invoice do not use the owner’s personal LRS allowance.

Wise Business, Instarem Business, and Payoneer can manage freelancer payments, batch payments to UAE, invoices, and more.

Ways to fund INR and receive AED in UAE

With Regency FX, paying by bank transfer and receiving through bank deposit is the cheapest combination. Sending ₹600,000 gives your recipient 23,080.11 AED.

UPI can fund the INR side when the company supports it, but the outward remittance still leaves India through an RBI-authorised bank.

From India, you can fund your transfer to UAE using bank transfer.

Fund the outward remittance through your bank

Fund the transfer by bank transfer from your Indian account.

You will normally need your PAN, Form A2 and documents showing the purpose of the transfer.

In UAE, your recipient can receive AED by bank deposit.

Consider this before sending INR to UAE

Outward transfers from India sit under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme. The purpose decides the documents and how much TCS is collected upfront.

Compare INR/AED transfer options

For an INR 600,000 transfer to United Arab Emirates, the current options are:

  1. The cheapest option is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit for the payout. Your recipient gets 23,080.11 AED, which is 0.97% more than the next best option.

  2. The fastest option is Regency FX, funded by bank transfer with bank deposit in United Arab Emirates. Your recipient gets 23,080.11 AED in minutes - 24 hours.

The LRS limit covers all your outward transfers

A resident individual can remit up to USD 250,000 in one financial year under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme for permitted current and capital-account transactions.

The limit is per person and covers your combined LRS use, including gifts, maintenance, study, travel and overseas investment.

It is not a separate allowance for every bank or transfer company.

The authorised money transfer company will normally ask for your PAN, Form A2 and a purpose code.

The RBI LRS direction explains the yearly limit and permitted use.

TCS can lock up cash until your tax return

TCS is collected on qualifying LRS remittances above the annual threshold.

From April 2026, education and medical remittances are generally collected at 2% above ₹10 lakh, while many other purposes carry 20% above the threshold.

Education funded by a qualifying loan does not attract TCS.

TCS is a tax credit rather than an extra transfer fee. You can claim it against your final tax bill, but the money remains unavailable until it is adjusted or refunded.

Add up your LRS payments across banks before sending. The bank or transfer company will need your earlier use to apply the threshold correctly.

UPI only funds the rupee side

UPI can be used to deposit money to a money transfer company, but it can’t send AED to United Arab Emirates.

Instead, a money transfer company will switch to a local network of bank accounts or local rails to move INR to AED.

All outward remittance still passes through an RBI-authorised dealer.

How we analyse the market

Money only leaves India through an RBI-authorised dealer, so that's the first filter on this table.

We track 2 of them on INR to United Arab Emirates, comparing rates, fees and the ways you can pay in, refreshed in real time on live comparisons.

In the past 30 days alone, we analysed 152 comparisons across 6 amounts.

This page covers the cheapest and fastest options for INR/AED transfers. This is how we pick them:

  • Cheapest: the company that gets your recipient the most, after fees and the exchange rate. On a tie, live pricing from the company takes priority over the rates we collect by hand.

  • Fastest: the company with the shortest estimated delivery time once you’ve paid. On a tie, the one that pays out more takes priority.

Each one also goes through our review, and hand-collected pricing is marked as such.
