Why Currency Conversion and Exchange Rates Are a Challenge for NRIs
Nori Services, based in Vaddeswaram, Andhra Pradesh, recognizes the financial challenges NRIs face due to currency conversion and exchange rate risks when managing properties in cities like Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Nellore, and Guntur.

Key Challenges NRIs Face
Currency Conversion and Exchange Rate Risks
When NRIs transfer funds from abroad to pay bills or taxes in Andhra Pradesh, they face exchange rate fluctuations and conversion fees. For instance, transferring USD to INR via an NRO account might incur a 1–2% conversion fee, and a sudden INR drop (e.g., from 83 to 85 per USD) increases payment costs. Banks also charge ₹500–₹1,000 per transaction, adding to the expense.
High Conversion Fees
A 1–2% fee on a $1,000 transfer (₹85,000 at 85 INR/USD) adds ₹1,700–₹3,400 to costs for payments in Vijayawada, plus bank fees of ₹500–₹1,000 per transaction.
Exchange Rate Fluctuations
A drop from 83 to 85 INR/USD means an NRI pays ₹2,000 more for a ₹50,000 maintenance fee in Guntur, impacting their budget unexpectedly.
Frequent Payments
Monthly fees across properties in Visakhapatnam, Nellore, and Tadepalli mean repeated fees and losses, totaling ₹20,000–₹30,000 annually.
Timing Issues
NRIs might overpay if they don’t time transfers to favorable rates, such as transferring during a low INR value for taxes in Anantapur.
Case Study: Exchange Rate Impact in Guntur
Priya, an NRI in the USA, needed to pay a ₹50,000 maintenance fee for her property in Guntur. Due to a 1.5% conversion fee and an INR drop from 83 to 85 per USD, she spent an extra ₹2,500. Nori Services optimized her transfers, saving her ₹15,000 annually across her properties.
