Good news if you're heading abroad: RBI just made it simpler to swap your leftover rupees at the airport.
Now, both residents and nonresidents can exchange Indian currency at foreign exchange counters in international departure halls, even after you've cleared immigration and customs.
No more scrambling to find a place before security!
RBI expands currency exchange access
Until now, only nonresidents could use these counters past customs.
With this update, RBI is making sure all travelers, including locals, can manage their money easily before flying out.
It's intended to simplify currency exchange for travelers leaving India.
