Buy foreign currency notes
Tell us your destination, currency, amount and travel date. We confirm availability, the exchange rate and the amount payable before you decide. Notes are given in the denominations we have in stock; you cannot choose them. If a currency is short after booking, we may reduce the amount to what is in stock and tell you before handover.
Rates change through the day until your order is confirmed. Compare the full rupee total, including GST and any service charge, not the exchange rate alone. See today's indicative rates.
Sell your leftover notes
Returning with unused currency? Share the currency and amount for a buy-back quote. We tell you which notes we can accept, the rate, and how you'll receive rupees before the exchange. Larger amounts are paid to your bank account rather than in cash.
Card or cash — a quick guide
Notes are capped per trip, and cards are safer for larger amounts. Here is how travellers usually split their money:
| Going to | Currency | On a forex card | In cash | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| USA | USD | 85% | 15% | Cards work almost everywhere; carry small notes for tips and taxis. |
| UK | GBP | 85% | 15% | Contactless is everywhere, including buses and the Tube. |
| Europe (euro countries) | EUR | 80% | 20% | A few cafés, markets and small towns prefer cash. |
| Switzerland | CHF | 90% | 10% | Card nearly everywhere; euros are not always accepted. |
| UAE (Dubai, Abu Dhabi) | AED | 70% | 30% | Malls and hotels take cards; souks and taxis like cash. |
| Singapore | SGD | 80% | 20% | Hawker centres may be cash only. |
| Thailand | THB | 40% | 60% | Street food, markets and tuk-tuks run on cash. |
| Japan | JPY | 50% | 50% | Many small restaurants and shrines are cash only. |
| Vietnam, Cambodia, Bali | USD | 30% | 70% | Carry US dollars in cash and change into local money there. |
| Maldives | USD | 50% | 50% | Resorts take cards; local islands prefer US dollars in cash. |
| Australia, New Zealand | AUD / NZD | 85% | 15% | Cards work everywhere; little cash needed. |
| Canada | CAD | 85% | 15% | Cards work everywhere; a little cash for tips. |
A starting point, not a rule. Cash in notes is capped at USD 3,000 equivalent per trip under RBI rules; the rest goes on the card. Tell us your itinerary and we suggest the split.
How it works
- Choose the currency and amount and see the live rate with every charge.
- Upload your documents and pay online (UPI, net banking or card) — the rate is locked when your payment or booking deposit is received.
- Collect from our branch or get it delivered; we check the originals at handover.
Documents and limits
For a holiday you'll need your passport (photo page and address page), the full round-trip air ticket, visa if the country needs one, PAN and Aadhaar (front and back). Students also need their university offer letter (I-20 for the USA, CAS for the UK); we release notes to students only for immediate personal living expenses. Pay from the traveller's own savings account — cash only up to ₹49,999, and no part-cash, part-bank payments. Foreign currency notes are limited to USD 3,000 equivalent per traveller per trip under RBI rules — the balance can go on a forex card. Our team confirms what's needed for your case. Please don't send identity documents over WhatsApp or e-mail; we collect them securely when you confirm.

Common questions
Can I reserve a rate online?
Yes. Paying a refundable 2% booking deposit holds the confirmed rate for 36 hours; then transfer the full order amount by bank transfer or UPI. The deposit is refunded to the account it came from when the order is completed.
Can the notes be delivered?
Doorstep delivery is available to selected Mumbai pincodes. Same-day doorstep delivery across Mumbai and Mumbai Suburban (Mon–Sat, except bank holidays) when your order is confirmed — documents verified and payment received — before 1 pm. Orders confirmed later are delivered the next working day.
How much foreign cash can I carry?
Up to USD 3,000 equivalent in currency notes per trip. Carry the rest on a forex card.
