Cash Currency Notes

Carrying foreign currency is most risky so it is recommended to carry only a very small amount of cash currency when traveling abroad. But you need to carry some because your cards may not be accepted at some places like shopping on streets or for street food, etc.

Indians travelling abroad can now carry $3,000 worth foreign exchange in cash. If travellers want to carry more currency, then the balance amount can be taken in the form of Forex Card or Travellers Cheque. You can withdraw foreign currency notes using your Forex Card at ATMs abroad at minimal transaction fees.
