Just want to let others know about this limitation of Rs 10,000 currency re-conversion limit for NRI's. Airport
forex counters can reconvert only Rs 10,000 for NRI's (Non NRI's the limit is Rs 50,000).
I faced this issue at airport in my recent India visit. Good to plan in advance than depending airport forex counters for conversion.
Still I feel this Rs 10,000 limitation for NRI's is cruel, since NRI's bring much foreign exchange to the country and when they need some foreign currency back, then comes all legal issues like this. Rs 50,000 limit would be much more helpful when we travel with family to meet any expenses.
