Dollar vs rupees: The Indian currency rupee has put a break on the continuing decline for the last few days. On Friday 26 September 2025, the rupee today recorded a gain of six paise against the US dollar. With this, the Indian rupee reached 88.70 against the US dollar today. Yesterday on Thursday, the rupee rose 7 paise to close at 88.68 against the US dollar, trading within a limited range. H1-B visa fees and rise in crude oil prices also put pressure on the rupee.
Rupee declined on Thursday too
However, the Indian stock market closed down in Thursday’s trading session amidst mixed signs about the talks between the US and India about the conversation about the trade deal and further cuts in the US interest rates. The benchmark BSE Sensex fell 555.95 points or 0.68 percent to close at 81,159.68 amid concerns about frequent selling of foreign investors and increasing the H1-B visa fees, which led to a decline in the fifth consecutive season. At the same time, the NSE Nifty Index also fell at 24,890.85, falling 166.05 points or 0.66 percent to close at 24,890.85.
Rupee has fallen so far
On Monday, September 25, on the first trading day of the week, the rupee fell 7 paise to close at 87.60 against the dollar. However, the rupee opened with a gain of 14 paise in early trade. In the current financial year, the rupee has fallen 2.15 percent so far and 2.30 percent in 2025. However, in August, it also gained about 0.20 percent against the dollar.
According to a Business Standard report, according to Jatin Trivedi, Vice President Research Analyst (Commodity and Currency) in LKP Securities, foreign investors are constantly selling Indian shares. These pure sellers remain in the Indian market, this has weakened the perception of investors. At the same time, concerns about the attitude of American tariff on India have also reduced the possibility of rapid rupee.
What is the account of salary?
In such a situation, if earlier this year, someone from India used to work in US $ 500000 in the US, then his salary in India was close to Rs 43,33,484 before the rupee’s decline of 2.30 percent. Now, its salary in India will increase by Rs 1, 02,016.5 to around Rs 44, 35, 500 rupees. That is, this year, without growing, he took a lead of above one lakh in his salary in India.
