When is it the best time to convert?

The best time to send money to your loved ones in India is when the GBP is at its strongest. That way, you can get more Indian rupees for your funds. If you consider repatriation back to your account in the UK, then it is favourable to pick a time when INR is at its strongest. You can track the rates at least one month before conversion to ensure that you get the best rate.
