About This Reference Rate
This figure applies the currency's last known fixed rate, one CUC per US dollar, to work out what a rupee amount would have converted to before 2021. It's built purely from that historical peg and a current dollar-rupee rate, so treat it as a way to interpret old figures rather than anything you could act on today.
Common Uses
Why This Pair Still Comes Up
A few specific situations explain most of the interest in comparing these two currencies.
Why You Can't Actually Buy CUC Anymore
No bank, exchange counter, or Cuban institution will sell you CUC today, since it was fully phased out in 2021; anyone searching for this conversion is almost always working with an old figure, not planning a live transaction.
Comparing Old Guidebook Prices
Travel guides and blog posts written before 2021 often quote Cuban hotel, meal, or tour prices in CUC, and this page lets you see what those older figures would have meant in today's rupees.
The 24:1 Conversion to CUP
When Cuba unified its currencies, every CUC in circulation converted to 24 units of the new single peso, a detail that matters if you're trying to trace an old CUC amount through to its CUP equivalent.

Frequently Asked Questions
What was the INR to CUC exchange rate before it was retired?
Using the CUC's final 1:1 dollar peg and a recent dollar-rupee rate, roughly 0.012 CUC equalled one Indian rupee. This is historical only; there's no live CUC rate today.
Can I convert rupees into CUC right now?
No. Cuba discontinued the CUC on 1 January 2021, and every Cuban institution now deals only in the regular peso (CUP), so there's no current channel to obtain CUC with rupees or anything else.
How much would 1,00,000 INR have been worth in CUC?
At the historical 1:1 dollar peg, 100,000 rupees would have worked out to roughly 1,199.04 CUC using a recent dollar-rupee rate, a figure useful only for comparing old travel budgets.
Why did Cuba have two currencies in the first place?
The CUC dates to 1994, created as a dollar-equivalent currency for tourism and foreign trade, running alongside the ordinary peso (CUP), which stayed in use for wages and everyday local spending.
Why did Cuba get rid of the CUC?
Running two currencies side by side bred an unofficial black market and other distortions, which is why Cuba merged them into one peso on 1 January 2021, a move that also brought a sharp devaluation of the remaining currency.
If I'm planning a Cuba trip now, which currency should I budget in?
Budget in CUP, the currency actually used in Cuba today, rather than CUC, which hasn't existed since 2021; this site's INR to CUP page covers that current conversion.
Is the CUC the same as the CUP?
They weren't the same currency. CUP was and still is Cuba's everyday peso, running separately from CUC until the convertible peso was phased out and fully absorbed into it.
Do old CUC notes still have any value?
Not through Cuban banks, since they're no longer exchangeable there. Currency collectors occasionally buy old notes as souvenirs, but that's a collectibles market rather than a live currency rate.
Where can I find Cuba's current exchange rate instead?
This site's INR to CUP page covers Cuba's currently circulating peso, including the large gap between its official and informal exchange rates.
