Did you know? So far, more than 20 million people have travelled abroad from India in 2017. A good portion of this number comprises of business travellers. If you are a person who frequently flies abroad for business purposes, then pay attention. RBI has prescribed few limits on foreign exchange when going abroad from India for business travel. In this blog post, we are going to discuss how much foreign currency you can carry from India for business travel. Also, how much Indian currency you can take outside India. Respectively the currency limits when coming back inside the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How much foreign exchange is available for a business trip abroad from India?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

As per RBI guidelines, you can take up to US $2,50,000 per trip while travelling abroad from India for business purposes. RBI updated this limit on July 2015. Before that, it was US $25,000 per trip. If you require more than US $2,50,000, then you need to request prior permission from the Reserve Bank of India.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are wondering how much Indian rupees can be carried while travelling abroad, it is Rs 5000 per business trip.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please Note :<\/strong> The total amount of foreign currency that can be taken abroad from India for business purpose is US $2,50,000 per financial year. You can take this entire amount either in a single trip or by breaking it down in multiple trips abroad but the total limit per financial year stands at US $2,50,000.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What constitutes a business trip?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Travelling abroad as a representative of your company for matters of business, attending an international conference, seminar, specialised training, study tour, training etc are treated as business visits. Even visit abroad for medical treatment or medical check-up fall within this category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the best way to carry foreign exchange abroad from India for a business trip?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

There is a very efficient and simple strategy to follow for carrying money abroad. This 5 point strategy is applicable for both leisure and business travellers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Calculate your total expected expenses<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Total Expense<\/strong> = Flight tickets + Food Prices + Hotel Stays + Miscellaneous Expenses (Cabs, Bus, Train Fares, Snacks) + Entertainment + Shopping<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Buy Prepaid Forex Travel Card and load 70% of \u201cTotal Expense\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buy a multicurrency forex travel card<\/a>. You\u2019ll be able to load the currencies of around 16 countries in one single card. This would be immensely useful if you are travelling to multiple countries. Also, load 70% of your \u201cTotal Expense\u201d in forex card. Majority of your spendings abroad will be done by swiping your card in PoS machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Carry the rest 30% of \u201cTotal Expense\u201d as cash<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carry 30% of \u201cTotal Expense\u201d as local currency of the country you are travelling in. This is to help you to purchase items and services quickly in business places where they don\u2019t accept cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Forex<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Carry Credit\/Debit cards only as backup<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Credit and Debit cards have many charges associated with them when using abroad. These charges can be Dynamic Currency Conversion (DCC) fee, interbank fees, and unfair exchange rates. So use them only as a backup option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Do not bother with traveller\u2019s cheques<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are hardly in use now and many business institutions, including some banks, don\u2019t accept them as a means of payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To know the logic behind this strategy, read this informative blog post :<\/p>\n\n\n\n
