Exchange rate

Hi,

does anyone know what the average exchange is that i will get for british pounds in India i just got a bit from thomas cook (50£) and they gave me a rate of 69 which seemed very low.

Thanks in advance

I think the current rate is around 80rs. You'll get a wide range in India, especially if you're changing on the street. Sometimes better than the bank rate, sometimes worse.

69 is ridiculously low. Don't go there again!

In fact, convert your money in India, not outside, and go to a money changer not a shop or hotel.

Report them to the Reserve Bank of India.

It is illegal to take Rupees out of India!
