Should I buy Indian Rupees in India?

If you are not an Indian resident and you are travelling for tourism, then yes, however it is always sensible to use official currency exchanges such as banks, licenced exchanges or ATMs when within the country. Many tourists have been caught out by using unlicenced providers of currency in major cities where they have either been given forged Indian rupee notes, or notes which are now out of circulation. It is always a good idea to have a clear idea of what current Indian Rupee notes are in circulation so you can check before confirming any exchange.

Things to look out for when exchanging currency in India?

Check that the currency provider is licenced by the RBI (Reserve Bank of India) or use an official bank or ATM

Unfortunately, you will always be charged for Indian Rupees in India. Its extremely difficult to avoid this and given the restrictions on currency movements, this is unavoidable, so always compare fees and check the all inclusive price carefully before exchanging.

You can always check directly from the RBI official website, also known as the Reserve Bank of India.
