About the Indian rupee rate in Nepal
The Nepalese rupee is pegged to the Indian rupee at 1 INR = 1.60 NPR, a fixed rate in place since 1993. Nepal Rastra Bank quotes it per 100 Indian rupees, which is why the rate barely changes.
Nepal Rastra Bank publishes reference buying and selling rates every day. These are not the rates you get at a bank counter or from a money transfer app: commercial banks, money changers and remittance companies set their own rates and fees around them. If you are sending money from India, compare what your family receives in rupees — see apps for sending money to Nepal and today's remittance comparison.
