There is a huge disparity in the exchange rate between the Indian Rupee and the Iranian Rial. According to the current exchange rate, one Indian Rupee is equal to approximately 478 Iranian Rials. That means ₹10000 is approximately 47,81,640 riyals.

Iran’s currency has been falling over time due to economic sanctions, poor governance and inflation. The Iranian rial used to be stable but has been seeing a decline in its global purchasing power over the past decade.

The United States and the European Union have imposed sanctions on Iran for its nuclear program. This sanction has isolated Iran from international banking systems. This has had a huge impact on foreign investment and trade.

Iran’s inflation rate remains very high. This often reaches 40% to 50% annually. Everyday things are becoming more expensive day by day.

In everyday life, Iranians use Toman instead of Rial. One Toman is equal to 10 Riyal.

International banking systems like Visa and MasterCard do not work in Iran due to sanctions. Tourists are required to carry cash in foreign currency, such as US dollars or Euros, for settlement.
