FAQs

Frequently asked questions

What is the live GBP to INR rate today?+
The live rate is shown at the top of this page and updates every few

seconds at the interbank rate. That's the rate Matrix Forex sells pounds

at, with no markup added.
Why is the GBP to INR rate so high?+
The pound is one of the higher-value major currencies against the rupee.

Through 2025 and 2026 the rupee has weakened against most major

currencies including the pound, pushing GBP/INR to near multi-year

highs.
How many pounds can I carry from India to the UK?+
USD 3,000 equivalent in cash per trip, roughly £2,300 at current rates.

The rest goes on a forex card or via wire transfer.
How much money do I need to show for a UK student visa?+
For the 2025-2026 academic year, £1,529 per month for London (£13,761

for 9 months) or £1,171 per month for outside London (£10,539 for 9

months), plus any unpaid tuition fees. Funds must have been in your

account for at least 28 consecutive days before applying.
What is TCS on UK tuition remittance?+
Education funded via a Section 80E loan from a recognised institution: 0

percent TCS regardless of amount. Self-funded UK tuition above ₹10 lakh:

5 percent on the amount above ₹10 lakh. TCS is adjusted against your

income tax liability when you file your return.
Is it better to buy pounds in India or in the UK?+
In India. UK airport bureaux de change typically have spreads of 4 to 6

percent against the interbank rate. Buying in India at the interbank

rate from an authorised dealer is significantly better.
Can I send tuition fees directly to a UK university?+
Yes, via SWIFT wire transfer. Matrix Forex handles outward remittance

under the LRS. You'll need the university's bank details, your PAN,

passport, the student's CAS letter, and admission proof. Funds typically

reach the UK within 24 hours.
Does Matrix Forex deliver pounds across India?+
Yes, same-day to 21 cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai,

Hyderabad, Pune, Ludhiana, Kanpur, Tirupur, Gurgaon, Noida, Faridabad,

Navi Mumbai, Thane, Lucknow, Chandigarh, Mohali, Panchkula, Coimbatore,
