The Indian Rupee will now be accepted in this country; approval granted to carry ₹200 and ₹500 notes..

If you are planning to visit Nepal for tourism or business, there is good news for you. The Government of Nepal has permitted Indian and Nepali citizens to carry Indian currency worth up to ₹25,000 into and out of Nepal. However, this facility applies only to Indian currency notes of ₹200 and ₹500 denominations issued after November 9, 2016.

Nepal's central bank, the Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), has issued a new notice regarding this. According to the notice, any Indian or Nepali citizen can carry Indian notes of ₹200 and ₹500 denominations—up to a total value of ₹25,000—into Nepal from India or vice versa.

This rule will be implemented under existing foreign exchange laws. However, the old Indian currency notes of ₹500 and ₹1,000 denominations issued before demonetization remain completely banned in Nepal; they can neither be taken into the country nor used there. The Nepal Rastra Bank stated that this rule had previously been published in the Nepal Gazette on February 11. The notice has now been re-issued to clarify the regulations and eliminate any confusion among the public.
