Muscat: The Indian Embassy has clarified that only Indian residents are allowed to carry up to Rs7,500 in Indian currency per passenger when travelling abroad or returning to India.
"In the recent past, developments related to certain incidents of handling fake Indian currency by visitors to India from Oman have been a matter of concern for the Government of India and the Government of Oman. A need has thus arisen to clarify the Indian position with regards to handling Indian currency by passengers travelling to and from India," a statement from the Indian Embassy said.
"As per the Government of India regulations, only those persons who are residents of India are allowed to take out Indian currency, up to a ceiling of Rs7,500 per passenger, when travelling abroad," the statement noted.
"Similarly, only those persons who are residents of India can bring back Indian currency, up to the ceiling of Rs7,500 when returning to India. In all other cases of foreigners, and those Indian nationals who are not residents of India/Non-Resident Indians (NRIs), it is prohibited under Indian law to either take any amount of Indian currency from India or to bring it into India," it added.
The statement added that visitors to India are allowed to carry any amount of Omani rials or other convertible foreign currencies, which can be exchanged at authorised exchange centres in India, including at international airports, hotels, and other locations.
However, in case the foreign currency exceeds the equivalent to $5,000 in cash, or an overall of $10,000 when combined with other financial instruments such as cheques, travellers' cheques, drafts, etc., a declaration to the customs officers at Indian international airports at the time of arrival or departure is required.
