Money Exchange in India
An alternative to using ATMs in India is using a money exchange at an airport, local outlet, or hotel.
Most airports operate money exchange booths near or just outside of baggage claim. They don’t always give the best price, so it may be worth waiting until you get into a city if you don’t need cash right away.
Most hotels in India offer money exchange services. If your hotel does not have the official government rates posted near the front desk or concierge, make sure to verify that the rate they are offering is good.
Retail outlets in Indian cities offer money exchange as well. Make sure you go to a government-authorized one or else you will risk getting a bad rate. Check the bills for counterfeits, double count the money, and make sure to get a receipt.
Before you travel to India you can get Indian money at most foreign exchange businesses. However, keep in mind that while the rule is loosely enforced, taking hard currency rupees into or out of India is prohibited.
