Convert Swiss francs (CHF) to Indian rupees (INR) at today's reference rate, and read the last 7 and 30 days of movement before you commit to a transfer.
These figures use the same daily reference rate shown above, so they move when the rate moves. They are a quick way to size an amount of Swiss francs in Indian rupees without typing it into the converter; for any other figure, use the CHF to INR converter at the top of this page.

The inverse rate is simply 1 ÷ R, so the same reference rate answers the reverse question.

CHF/INR pairs a major reserve currency (CHF) with a less heavily traded one (INR). That usually means the rate is calculated as a cross from the major's quote against the US dollar and the minor's quote against the US dollar. Spreads on consumer products tend to be wider than for purely major pairs, especially outside the home market of the smaller currency.
Swiss Franc is associated with Europe and Indian Rupee with Asia, so each currency typically reacts to a different set of releases. CHF/INR therefore tends to move when something specific happens in either home market: an interest-rate decision, an inflation print, a trade-balance number, or a political event that changes the perceived risk of holding that currency.
The number shown in the rate box is a daily reference rate: roughly the mid-market price at the time the public rate feed was published. It is a useful benchmark, but it is not the rate you would obtain at a bank, a card terminal, an ATM, or a money-transfer provider. Those providers add a margin to the mid-market rate (the "spread") and may charge a fixed or percentage fee on top. To estimate what a real transaction would actually cost, take the displayed reference rate and apply the provider's published spread and fee.
The 7-day and 30-day tables show one observation per day. They are useful for sanity-checking an unusual reading on the live rate against very recent values and for spotting any obvious trend over the last month. The 12-month chart on this page is built from monthly samples and is intended to show the general direction of CHF/INR over a year rather than every short-term swing. For an intraday view of the same pair, the embedded chart further up the page draws on a finer-grained data source.
Like any exchange rate, CHF/INR reflects the relative attractiveness of holding Swiss Franc versus Indian Rupee. The most common drivers are:
Suppose the rate above is R. To convert an amount of Swiss Franc, multiply by R: amount in INR = amount in CHF × R. To go the other direction, divide instead: amount in CHF = amount in INR ÷ R. The converter at the top of the page does this automatically and updates either input as you type. For an estimate of what a real bank or transfer service would deliver, subtract a typical retail spread (often a few tenths of a percent for major pairs and noticeably more for minor or exotic pairs) and any flat fee from the result.
If you arrived here looking for the inverse direction, the INR to CHF page shows the same data presented the other way around. The guide on how exchange rates are quoted explains why the inverse rate is simply 1 ÷ R. To understand the gap between the figure on this page and what a bank actually offers, see the comparison of mid-market rates and consumer rates.

The rate box above shows today's reference rate with the date it was published, refreshed once per business day. The common-amounts table converts 1 to 10,000 francs at that same rate, and the reverse table converts rupee amounts back into francs.
This site does not publish rate predictions, and you should treat any that promises a specific number with caution — short-horizon exchange rates are close to unforecastable, which is a well-documented result rather than an opinion. What is genuinely useful is the recent range: the 7-day and 30-day tables on this page show where CHF/INR has actually traded, which tells you whether today's figure is high, low, or unremarkable for the period. The guide to exchange rate forecasts explains what forward rates and analyst targets really represent.
Mostly the franc. CHF is a classic safe-haven currency: it tends to strengthen when global markets are under stress, regardless of anything happening in India. The rupee is more actively managed by the Reserve Bank of India and moves in smaller steps. A sharp week in CHF/INR usually traces back to a risk event in Europe or global markets rather than to Indian data.
Compare providers on the number of rupees actually delivered, not the advertised rate. Swiss banks, remittance apps and card networks each apply their own margin over the mid-market figure shown here, plus fees. The mid-market vs bank rates guide shows how to convert that margin into a percentage so two quotes become comparable.
