What's specific to EUR at State Bank of India

  • Branch Commission: EUR 10 for EUR (≈ ₹1,099 at today's rate).
  • Correspondent Bank Charge (Remitter mode): EUR 5 for EUR (≈ ₹549 at today's rate).
  • All 3 charge modes (Payee, Remitter, Guaranteed) are available for EUR.
  • In Payee mode, EUR 15 is deducted from what the recipient receives (≈ ₹1,648 at today's rate) instead of being charged in rupees.

Receiving in France

  • French accounts use a 27-character IBAN starting with FR plus the SWIFT/BIC code; a RIB (relevé d'identité bancaire) contains both — ask the beneficiary for it.
  • Housing deposits and residence rent are usually paid to a French account, and a student cannot open one from India, so first transfers often go to the landlord or residence directly.
  • Tuition is often payable by card or portal, but larger amounts are cheaper by wire in EUR; French banks rarely charge for incoming EUR wires, though an intermediary bank can deduct a fee unless you choose the OUR charge option so an intermediary bank cannot take its fee out of the credited amount.

France is 3.5 hours behind IST in summer (4.5 in winter); EUR wires typically credit the next working day.

How this compares

Indian Overseas Bank is ₹763 cheaper than State Bank of India for sending EUR to France.

State Bank of India — Things to know

Applies to:Sending money abroad as an individual retail customer via SBI YONO or Internet Banking (rules effective 1 May 2025). The total shown is the Remitter mode, where the recipient gets the full amount; the mode table compares the Payee and Guaranteed options. Currencies outside YONO's 8-currency set are branch-only and not modelled here.

  • SBI's own fee is nil. Since 1 May 2025 SBI charges individuals no commission and waives SWIFT for retail — what you pay is the per-currency Branch Commission and correspondent charge, plus GST.↗
  • Three ways to split the fees. At YONO you choose who bears the SWIFT charges: Payee (the recipient absorbs the Branch Commission + correspondent, so USD 1,000 lands as ~USD 989), Remitter (you pay both in INR, recipient gets the full amount), or Guaranteed (USD/EUR/GBP only, full delivery).↗
  • Most currencies are branch-only. Only 8 currencies are priced online; the other 13 (CHF, HKD, JPY, THB, SAR, OMR, BHD, KWD, QAR, DKK, NOK, SEK, ZAR) are branch-only and not modelled here.
  • TCS on large transfers. For general purposes, 20% TCS applies on LRS spending above ₹10 lakh a year — refundable as a tax credit at ITR time.

Other things to know

  • Rates suit larger transfers. SBI's card rates target the ₹10–20 lakh band; smaller amounts may be quoted differently at the branch.↗

Other ways to save

  • Pick 'Payee' on big transfers. Choosing Payee lets you skip paying the Branch Commission and correspondent charge in INR — the recipient gets that much less, which stings least on large amounts.
  • Medical & education loans are free. SBI waives outward charges for Medical purposes and Education Loan disbursement — declare the purpose if it qualifies.↗
  • Send from FCNR/NRE to save. Outward transfers from an FCNR(B) or NRE account skip the out-of-pocket charges — only the correspondent fee applies.
