Things to Know when Buying & Selling Foreign Currency in India

The following points should be taken into account when buying and selling foreign currency in India:

  • Foreign exchange is available to resident Indians only for the purpose of travel, study, or business.
  • The cash carry limit is USD 3,000 per person per trip. The remaining amount can be loaded onto a forex card.
  • The total forex a resident individual can buy in a financial year is capped at USD 250,000 under the LRS. Cash payments for forex are allowed only up to INR 49,999. Amounts above this must be paid by bank transfer or UPI from the traveller's own account.
  • GST applies to forex transactions, and if the purchases in a financial year exceed the threshold fixed by the government, then TCS applies.
  • Any unused foreign currency, whether in cash or on a forex card, can be converted back to INR at the prevailing rate after the trip.
  • It's better to purchase forex several days in advance so that there are no last-minute rate changes and no risk of stock unavailability at the branch.

  • Valid Indian passport
  • Valid visa for the destination country (not required where visa-on-arrival applies)
  • Confirmed onward and return air ticket, with travel within 60 days (only the onward ticket is needed for education,
