1 CHF to INR today
The mid-market rate is the midpoint between the buy and sell prices on the global currency market. It is what Google shows. It is not what your bank charges.
The CHF to INR rate moves on Swiss National Bank policy decisions and on global risk sentiment. The Swiss franc is a traditional safe-haven currency, strengthening when global markets turn risk-off. SNB has historically intervened to manage franc strength when it rises too quickly. Switzerland's political stability, low debt, and current-account surplus give the franc strong fundamentals.
The rate you see on Google is a reference number. The rate you transact at depends on who you buy from.
GST on the service component (tiered) + TCS above ₹10 lakh per FY apply per LRS rules. Disclosed upfront.
What 1 CHF to INR actually costs you
Here is where most travellers lose money on a Switzerland trip without realising it. A bank or counter quoting CHF at the mid-market rate plus a markup will not show that markup as a separate line item. It is built into the exchange rate.
Switzerland is one of the most expensive travel destinations globally — hotels, dining, and Alpine experiences run high in Swiss francs. On a typical Zurich-Interlaken-Lucerne or honeymoon trip, a couple buys several thousand francs. Even a small per-franc markup compounds into a meaningful rupee figure across the trip budget. Airport counters in Zurich and Geneva are particularly known for unfavourable retail rates.
There are typically three cost layers on a CHF conversion: the exchange rate markup built into the quoted rate, a transaction or service fee, and GST charged on the service component.

Ways to convert CHF to INR
A bank wire transfer suits larger amounts, particularly for business payments to Swiss suppliers or for premium travel bookings. Processing takes one to three working days with the bank's exchange rate plus SWIFT charges.
Online forex providers let you book a rate online, then choose branch pickup or door delivery before departure. The booking locks the rate before payment.
A forex card is a prepaid card loaded with Swiss francs before travel. It works at point-of-sale and ATMs across Switzerland. The Matrix Forex Card supports CHF alongside 27 other currencies — useful for honeymoon and Europe-multi-country trips that combine Switzerland with eurozone destinations.
For smaller amounts, branch cash exchange remains the fastest option.
Tax and limits on CHF to INR
Under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme, an Indian resident individual can remit up to USD 250,000 (or its CHF equivalent) per financial year for permitted purposes — travel, education, medical, family support, gifts, and investments.
TCS applies above ₹10 lakh per person per financial year. Self-funded education and medical are at 2% above ₹10 lakh. Other LRS purposes including travel, gifts, and investments are at 20% above ₹10 lakh — relevant for honeymoon and premium travel budgets that often cross the ₹10 lakh threshold. Education funded through a Section 80E loan is at 0% TCS regardless of amount.
TCS is not a final tax. It is adjusted against your annual income tax liability.
