Also banks in Singapore, Malaysian and Dubai airports liberally exchange indian currency and thus there is no problem for either a foreigner visiting India or an Indian visiting abroad for exchanging Indian curency upto the limit of Rs. 5000 allowed by the rules.Narayanaswamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557672224720395206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491144055124533628.post-9253541020353093452011-06-10T23:03:01.719-07:002011-06-10T23:03:01.719-07:00These days, banks in many airports in countries ab...These days, banks in many airports in countries abroad, both accept and issue Indian currency against their local currency. Further banks in <br />Singapore and Dubai airports exchange either way Indian currency into or from any other currency also. Thus there is no problem for a foreigner to get Indian currency with him on arrival nor for an Indian leaving for tour abroad to carry upto INR 5000 and encash it on arrival at the foreign port.Narayanaswamyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14557672224720395206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491144055124533628.post-35613919776479318902011-03-22T21:30:45.504-07:002011-03-22T21:30:45.504-07:00Quite confusing..Shall I exchange my currency to I...Quite confusing..Shall I exchange my currency to INR upon arrival to India or before?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491144055124533628.post-26144526243483370672011-02-19T03:15:16.984-08:002011-02-19T03:15:16.984-08:00Why do any countries not permit their banknotes to...Why do any countries not permit their banknotes to be obtained by foreigners? In addition to being handy for travelers coming to the country, numismatic collectors around the world could but the notes for their colelctions. If someone wants to trade U.S. dollars, euros, British pounds, or any other hard currency for rupees, why not let them? Jamaica prohibited export of their notes until the late 1990s. Now it is allowed, and I have a collection of Jamaican notes. Prohibiting export of notes is stupid and serves no logical purpose whatsoever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7491144055124533628.post-70098400698057973302011-02-16T02:14:55.373-08:002011-02-16T02:14:55.373-08:00IN THE INDIA CUSTOMS BAGGAGE RULES
