Rupees with NRIs outside India
Pls pass this to RBI.
We are an NRI staying outside India.
My family travel to India often and over the years we accumulated Rs65,000 (last count yesterday) as loose cash.
We have no plans to travel to India just yet.
We cannot courier cash to India to be banked-in.
Can overseas Indian banks pls assist to collect the cash & bank it into our NRE/NRO account.
Please flash in newspapers & TV so we know , else will flush the money in toilet. more

I hope Mayur ji and every NRI will read Raja ji response and stop crying in converting their money carried by them abroad flouting the regulations. They can easily deposit this money in their account for which RBI will come out some procedures in due course of time and pay taxes if the amount deposited is more than that allowed by the law. more
