Your best bet is to do a wire transfer int your Indian account. The fees (including mid-bank deduction fees, if any) would be maximum US$ 75.00 (typically expect US$ 35).

The treasury rate you will get from the bank is going to be inherently much better than you would get from any other money transfer company/service.

Typically, your surrendered Dollars would be given a rate of about 0.5% disparty at best from the official rate. Check with your bank to confirm the Inward T/T Rate for Remittances.
