Currency import limits restrict Indian banknotes on return or entry, with stricter denomination rules for Nepal and Bhutan. Permissible importation of Indian currency on return or entry is capped by specified currency limits tied to residency status and point of origin. Residents returning from outside India (other than Nepal and Bhutan) may bring Indian currency notes up to a prescribed ceiling at the time of return. Arrivals from Nepal or Bhutan are restricted to notes only in denominations not exceeding a low specified value. Non-resident visitors (excluding citizens or travellers of Pakistan and Bangladesh) may import Indian currency notes up to the same airport-only ceiling, subject to exclusions.
