Frequently Asked Questions
Each nation has its own currency, and you wouldn’t be able to use Indian Rupee to indulge in any activities on foreign land. Therefore, you should get your currency converted to a target currency at a Forex currency exchange. Most foreign currency converters at your destination will only exchange to US Dollars. If such is the case, you should convert Indian Rupee to US Dollar at a foreign exchange and convert it to local currency at your destination.
Resident Indian can exchange Indian currency to a foreign currency at an exchange House before 60 days from the date of departure. You can keep currency equivalent to USD 3,000(exceptions available to certain countries). If you need more money, you must take it in the form of traveller’s cheque, travel card or bank draft.
An exchange rate is the cost that you will incur for converting one currency to another. The rate will tell you how many USD or Euro you will get in exchange for any amount in Indian Rupees or vice versa. So, if the exchange rate for USD1 is INR75, that means if you want to buy USD 100, you need INR7500. It also means, if someone sends you USD 100, you will receive INR 7500. The foreign (Forex) exchange rates change daily.
