Things to Know when Buying & Selling Foreign Currency in India

  1. You can buy foreign currency in India only if you are a resident Indian and only for the purpose of foreign travel.
  2. Foreign currency can be carried as cash or loaded onto a forex card. You can carry up to USD 3000 equivalent in cash per trip and the remaining can be carried in a forex card. You can purchase a total of USD 250,000 per financial year under the LRS.
  3. It is advisable to carry a mix of foreign currency and forex card, ideally 30% of your foreign currency in cash and 70% on a forex card. This is for safety and convenience while carrying forex.
  4. Cash payments for foreign currency are allowed only up to INR 49,999. Amounts exceeding this have to be done as bank transfer to the money changer's account from the traveller's savings account (not from any third party or current/NRE/NRO accounts).
  5. All forex transactions are subject to GST and TCS (if applicable). Use our GST Calculator & TCS Calculator to find out the exact amounts you need to pay.
  6. Verify the amount and condition of the currency before leaving the counter or upon delivery.
  7. It is recommended to purchase foreign currency at least 2 weeks before your travel date to avoid any currency availability issues.
  8. Any unspent foreign currency and remaining balance on forex cards can be converted back into INR after your trip at the prevailing exchange rates.
