Export of currency

Export of currency restrictions: Indian notes largely prohibited; limited resident allowance and lawful foreign currency export permitted.

Export of Indian currency is generally prohibited except for a limited allowance for residents; export of foreign currency is permitted without overall limit if purchased from an authorized foreign exchange dealer. Tourists may take out foreign currency only up to the amount they brought in; certain non-resident visitors (excluding specified nationalities and travel routes) may exit with Indian Government and RBI notes under a restricted limit when leaving via an airport.
