Exchange Rate: 100 Baisa to Pakistani Rupees (OMR/PKR)
Clarification first: Baisa is the subunit of the Omani Rial (OMR), not a separate currency. 1 OMR = 1,000 Baisa. The currency code is OMR.
Current Rate (Approximate, Mid-Market)
1 OMR ≈ 730–740 PKR (fluctuates daily).
Therefore: 100 Baisa = 0.100 OMR ≈ 73–74 PKR.
Why the Confusion?
- Some sources mislabel "Baisa" as currency code (it's not—ISO 4217 is OMR).
- Older pegs: OMR was fixed to USD (1 OMR = $2.6008) since 1986. PKR floats. So OMR/PKR moves with USD/PKR.
- As of Feb 2023 (your cited date): USD/PKR ~260 → OMR/PKR ~676. Today ~735. Rates change.
Where to Get Live Rates
- Central Bank of Oman: cbo.gov.om (official daily fix).
- State Bank of Pakistan: sbp.org.pk.
- XE, OANDA, Google Finance: Mid-market rates.
- Banks/exchangers: Add 1–3% margin.
If you're converting physical 100-baisa notes (rare—coins more common): banks in Pakistan may not accept them. Convert to OMR first in Oman/UAE, then OMR→PKR.
