Just noticed on my AdSense Payment History Page, that recent check is issued with crazy exchange rate of 1:1!
After visiting AdSense help Google group, I have noticed that many publishers, mostly from India are facing same problem. This particular message is receipt of AdSense team being aware of the problem. So all I can say, do not get panic!
The other question remains whether you will get a small check in local currency at exchange rate of 1:1 or is it just problem with web-interface?
If you are an experienced AdSense publisher, then you must have noticed that every Payment Details page shows “Payment Number”, which is in this case is blank. So I think payments are already processed correctly and soon web-interface will show accurate information.
Anyway, if you get check at exchange rate of 1:1, I am sure difference will be credited back to our account for sure automatically by Google AdSense team.
Point of writing is, do not get panic and do not flood already busy AdSense team with support requests related to the issue. They are working on this (proof).
Just in case, you need follow-up, keep watching this thread.
Update: Just received this response from Google AdSense Team. (Sep 27)

This problem is just in web interface, Paypal still has it đ But payment is always processed correctly
@Manpreet Singh
What do you mean by “Paypal still has it…”?
Google AdSense don’t send payment via paypal I guess.
I mean tosat that the web calculator is not the real one..Even the paypal calculator has the problems (taking 1:1 ratio for dollar and rupee)..But when you receive it in bank account the ratio is actual..Just that..No offences..:)And Google does payout by check only..
@Manpreet
Got it… đ
For once, I thought Google started sending payment via paypal! :O
Something like that will never happen as Google’s baby checkout will not like that.
ok đ But the secret thing is that corporate houses have free choice to opt either a check or EFT(Electronic Fund Transfer)..though we are ot lucky enough đ
@Manpreet
Yep, I guess you are right. Otherwise one of top-blogger must have posted about this till now. đ
yes but we have just wrote about it at devilsworkshop i comments đ

@deepakjain.hacker – I never had any issues replying to comments. I just want people to use appropriate comment from or forum.
But everybody want to contact by email and out of each 100 emails I get daily, 60-70 of them have common questions. đ
@Rahul Bansal – I didn’t mean that.. đ I supposed to say that if you reply to queries so quickly than it may attract more nd more visitors đ

Though i have no clearing this month !! but this was really weird specially when $1= 46+
@Abhishek
Yep. It was shocking for me too!
BTW some people rejoiced thinking Indian currency got so strong that its $1 = 1 INR. đ
It is giving you unwanted problems and it should be corrected by Google adsense team.
