How much does it cost to send money from India to UAE?
Transfer fees from India to UAE vary by provider. Specialist services charge ₹0–10 per transfer, while banks charge ₹25–50 plus a 2–5% exchange rate markup. The exchange rate markup is usually the bigger cost — always compare the total AED your recipient receives, not just the advertised fee.
This is a stable corridor: over 129 days since 14 May 2026, the best payout day (Western Union, 19 June 2026) and the worst (Western Union, 20 May 2026) differed by only 2.9 percentage points against the average. Today reads "typical", but on a corridor this flat that's unlikely to change much if you wait — the bigger lever here is which provider you pick, not when you send.
