I just returned from abroad and have some unspent foreign exchange with me. Can I use it for some other purpose? Can I keep it with me for my next overseas visit? Or, do I have to surrender it to the bank and if so, within what period?
You can use the unspent foreign exchange for any other eligible current account payments, which includes foreign exchange required for your next visit. You can retain foreign currency, travelers’ cheques and currency notes up to an aggregate amount of $2000, and foreign coins without any ceiling beyond 180 days from the date
