03 October 2007 Unspent foreign exchange brought back to India by a traveller should be surrendered to an authorised person within 90 days from the date of return of the traveller, in case unspent foreign exchange (FE) is in the form of currency notes. If such FE is in the form of travellers cheques, the same should be surrendered within 120 days from the date of return. The exchange brought back can be utilised for subsequent travells within said period.

However, it is also permitted to retain foreign currency travellers cheques and currency notes upto an aggregate amount of USD 2000 and foreign coins without any ceiling.

Current Account Transaction Rules
