What your dirhams are worth in rupees today

| Dirhams | At 23 October rate | At 30 September rate | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| AED 100 | Rs 7,537.54 | Rs 7,545.25 | Rs 7.71 less |
| AED 500 | Rs 37,687.70 | Rs 37,726.25 | Rs 38.55 less |
| AED 1,000 | Rs 75,375.40 | Rs 75,452.50 | Rs 77.10 less |
| AED 1,500 | Rs 113,063.10 | Rs 113,178.75 | Rs 115.65 less |
| AED 2,000 | Rs 150,750.80 | Rs 150,905.00 | Rs 154.20 less |
| AED 5,000 | Rs 376,877.00 | Rs 377,262.50 | Rs 385.50 less |
These are reference values before any margin. An exchange house or bank will pay slightly less per dirham. Over one month the gap is under 8 paisa a dirham, which is smaller than a typical transfer fee, so do not delay an urgent transfer to chase a few rupees.
The dirham moves almost exactly with the dollar
The State Bank works out every non-dollar rate from the rupee's dollar rate and that currency's world rate against the dollar. On 23 October its figures imply 3.6726 dirhams to the dollar, and that ratio barely changed all month, so the dirham simply followed the dollar down.
Compare that with the Saudi riyal, which wobbled up and down in October even though it also tracks the dollar. The dirham's line is smoother. If you want to know where the dirham is heading, the dollar is the number to watch, and its daily figures are in the October 2026 dollar rate history. The riyal's own list is in the Saudi riyal rate for October 2026.
Test a dirham quote before you send money home
Ask for the rupees your family will receive after fees, then compare that with the State Bank's dirham rate for the same day. A few paisa below the reference is normal. A gap of a rupee a dirham costs Rs 1,000 on every 1,000 dirhams sent.
- Find AED in the READY column of the State Bank's daily revaluation sheet.
- Ask the exchange house or app for its dirham rate and its fee.
- Multiply your dirhams by its rate and take off the fee.
- Repeat with one more provider and pick the higher rupee total.
- Keep the receipt and the tracking number until the money arrives.
For a fuller test of riyal, dirham and dollar quotes against the State Bank's customer rates, see checking whether a dirham rate is fair. Use only banks and licensed exchange companies. Informal hundi or hawala routes are illegal and give you no way to recover lost money.
Saving in dirhams has its own rules from 15 October
Overseas Pakistanis in the UAE can also hold savings in dirhams through Naya Pakistan Certificates. A State Bank circular changed how banks handle the dirham version from 15 October 2026, which matters if you already hold them.
The change is explained in the dirham Naya Pakistan Certificates rule. For money your family receives, the routes into a bank account or wallet are set out in receiving a home remittance through Raast, and the tax position is in remittances and the FBR limit.

How we verified this
What we checked, where we read it, and what we could not confirm.
Last checked 25 October 2026. We read the State Bank of Pakistan's mark to market revaluation sheets for 30 September and every working day from 1 to 23 October 2026 except 21 October, which was not available at the usual address, on 25 October 2026, along with the sheet's note on how non-dollar rates are compiled. All conversions, differences and the implied dirhams per dollar are our own arithmetic. We did not read any UAE exchange house or bank quote, so this page gives no counter rates.
