PKR 126,500 is equal to 848.086 (Exchange Rate : 149.16)

This rate has nothing to do with OANDA's rate this is Consulate's Fixed rate for a fix amount of time.

if you follow the link below you will see that it state consulate's exchange rate.

Btw OANDA's exchange rate is used for maintenance funds conversion on the date of application submission, other than that it has no business with regards to fees.

BHC updated the rate to 155 today :)
