Rate Info
About This Reference Rate
Because the lev has been replaced by the euro, this figure is calculated through the fixed 1.95583 lev-per-euro rate rather than from any live lev market. Bulgaria adopted the euro on January 1, 2026, and the lev stopped being legal tender on February 1, 2026, though leva can still be exchanged at the Bulgarian National Bank. For any current payment in Bulgaria, use the INR to EUR rate instead, and confirm the current rate with your bank or exchange provider before converting.
Common Uses
Why This Pair Still Comes Up

Old Lev Prices and Savings
People holding leva banknotes or reading older Bulgarian price lists, contracts and bank statements still need to translate those amounts into rupees.
Travel and Business Ties
Indian travelers and businesses dealing with Bulgarian partners often compare older lev-denominated quotes with today's euro pricing.
