What are the charges?

Wise is cheap. They show an exchange rate with some markup. The markup is lower. In the background they utilize a sort of legal hawala mechanism.

EmiratesNBD works as well. They have direct remit to HDFC bank. Charge is 50bps.

Just to clarify the charge is because of Fx conversion rate

Is there any account opening charges or any one time charges apart from Emirates NBD exchange rate?

Not really, what platforms are you using? There's no fee in P2P and usually crypto to fiat gives you a higher rate anyway, so the small fee is off set

Listen, it's not rocket science. Use a bank transfer or an online service. But remember, "sasta roye baar baar, mehnga roye ek baar". What's your risk appetite?
