How Do You Receive TRY (Turkish Lira) Payments in India in 2026?

The table ranks platforms with full published pricing for TRY by the INR received on TRY 250,000, then lists other business platforms that accept TRY, unranked. Fees were checked on 30 Sept 2026 or later.

The real TRY to INR rate is the mid-market rate, the midpoint between buying and selling prices. Bank TT buying rates, card rates and platform rates sit below it, and the gap is a cost to you. For example, at an example mid-market rate of ₹1.97 per lira, receiving ₹1.93 per lira on TRY 100,000 costs ₹4,000.

Today's rate, its history and every platform's payout are on the TRY to INR rate page.

Each row applies the platform's published fee, FX markup and 18% GST on the fee to the mid-market rate of ₹1.895 per TRY for 3 Nov 2026.

Yes, you can hold TRY in India in an EEFC account if your AD bank keeps lira balances. Any person resident in India can open one under FEMA 10(R), and professionals can credit consultancy fees. The account pays no interest. Many banks offer only major currencies, so ask first or convert on receipt.

• Credits: Up to 100 percent of foreign exchange earnings received through the banking channel can go in, and card receipts reimbursed in foreign exchange count as banking channel receipts under Schedule I of FEMA 10(R).
• Conversion: The Master Direction on Deposits and Accounts says a calendar month's accruals should be converted to rupees by the end of the next month, after adjusting for approved uses or forward commitments. Check how your AD bank applies this.
• Interest: The EEFC account is non-interest bearing, and banks may not lend against the balance, as set out in the Master Direction.
• Currency: Banks choose which currencies they hold in EEFC accounts. If your bank does not keep TRY, it may convert lira to USD or EUR on credit, which adds a second conversion. See EEFC account benefits.

• Spot: Convert lira at the rate on the day they arrive. It is simple, and you accept whatever rate the market gives that day.
• Forward contract: Fix a TRY to INR rate today for a future date. Under RBI's hedging directions, AD banks can offer forwards to retail users and allow hedging of contracted exposure up to USD 100 million equivalent without first proving it, though a real exposure must exist. Lira forwards may not be quoted by every bank. See forward contracts for exporters.
• Limit order: Ask your bank or provider to convert automatically when TRY to INR reaches a rate you set. Availability and minimum amounts vary for less traded currencies, so confirm before relying on it.
• Natural hedge: Pay lira costs, such as Turkish subcontractors or travel booked in TRY, from EEFC balances so that part of your income is never converted. Payments outside India for permitted current account transactions are allowed debits under FEMA 10(R).

Receiving TRY for exports in India follows the same FEMA rules as any other currency. From 1 October 2026, service exporters file an EDF within 30 days of the end of the invoice month and realise proceeds within nine months under the FEMA 2026 Regulations. Your AD bank reports each receipt with a purpose code.

• EDF: Regulation 3(2) of the FEMA (Export and Import of Goods and Services) Regulations, 2026 requires an EDF for services, and one EDF can cover a month's invoices. A.P. (DIR Series) Circular No. 20 supersedes the SOFTEX circulars from 1 October 2026. See the EDF guide.
• Realisation: Export proceeds must be realised within nine months of the invoice date for services, or twelve months if invoiced or settled in INR, as amended on 22 September 2026. Your AD bank can extend this on request.
• EDPMS: Invoices up to ₹10 lakh can be closed in EDPMS on your declaration of realisation, under Regulation 4(2) of the 2026 Regulations.
• Purpose code: Banks report receipts under FETERS using RBI's purpose code list. The code depends on the service provided, and the currency does not change it. FIRA is not a term defined in FEMA; banks issue an inward remittance advice or certificate. See what FIRA means.
• GST: Payment in convertible foreign exchange is one condition of export of services under IGST Act section 2(6). Confirm with your tax adviser that TRY receipts meet it. A Letter of Undertaking under Rule 96A lets you export without paying IGST.
