​ India’s currency is the Indian rupee, made up of 100 paise. It is now possible to travel in and out of the country with rupees (until 25,000 INR without a credential, and above that the invoice of the exchange office which issued them). The money is available in notes of 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, and 2,000 rupees.   Make sure that the USD dollars or EUR euros you want to change are in a very good state: Indian people don’t accept damaged notes. When you exchange your money, you should also not accept torn Indian notes as you won’t be able to use them.   It is now possible to withdraw cash with your credit or debit card in most Indian big cities. However be mindful of additional bank charges and don’t forget the difficulties caused when the ATM swallows your card, especially if you are only staying there for one day! Finally, keep in mind that cash is harder to withdraw in small cities and most of the ATMs let you withdraw at most INR 10,000 each time.
