The currency in India is the Rupee, which comes in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10,
20, 50, 100, 500 and 1,000. Please use authorised money changers and banks to
change currency. They will issue a certificate of exchange which is required at
the time of re-conversion of any unused currency. Under the Foreign Exchange
Management Act 1999, it is an offence to exchange foreign currency other than
through authorised money changers or banks.
The current foreign exchange rate (April 2009) is approximately 66 Indian Rupees
(INR) to 1 Euro and 55 INR to 1 US $. However, this rate has been fluctuating,
so please see www.xe.com for the latest exchange rate.
There are ATM booths around the city., These ATMs will honour Visa, Visa
Electron, Master & Maestro cards. You may use these ATMs to withdraw money from
your bank account in your country, even if your bank is not the same bank that
has set-up the ATM booth. The ATM will issue rupees. One such ATM is available
at the venue.
Most hotels, shops & other establishments accept credit cards. Master & VISA
cards are accepted at almost all such establishments, whereas some of them
accept Diners & American Express cards as well.
