In addition, one can carry up to Rs 5000 in Indian Rupees while traveling to or from countries other than Nepal and Bhutan. There is no limit for these two countries.
There is no fee or charge for carrying foreign currency into India while coming from abroad and neither a stipulation to convert the foreign currency at airport. You can convert as and when and where you need to .
