Australia’s leading foreign currency retailer Travel Money Oz has recommenced trade in the Indian Rupee (INR) following restrictions of trade brought about by the Reserve Bank of India’s decision to demonetise certain bank notes in November 2016.
Travel Money Oz stores can now accept valid tender INR bank notes with some restrictions only.
Scott McCullough, Retail General Manager of Travel Money Oz, said, “We’re pleased to be able to reintroduce trade in the Rupee and understand the stress and difficulty that many travellers and members of the Indian community have had. We urge customers to come in with their valid 50, 100, 500 and 2,000 INR notes and we’ll be pleased to exchange them with no restrictions.”
McCullough added that due to restrictions placed on them they were unable to accept demonetised notes.
“Many in the Indian community in particular were left holding Indian currency and not able to exchange it following the Reserve Bank of India’s decision,” he added.
Support Independent Community Journalism
Dear Reader,The Indian Sun exists for one reason: to tell stories that might otherwise go unheard.
We report on local councils, state politics, small businesses and cultural festivals. We focus on the Indian diaspora and the wider multicultural community with care, balance and accountability. We publish in print and online, send regular newsletters and produce video content. We also run media training programs to help community organisations share their own stories.
We operate independently.
Community journalism does not have the backing of large media corporations. Advertising revenue fluctuates. Platform algorithms change. Costs continue to rise. Yet the need for credible, grounded reporting in a multicultural Australia has never been greater.

• Independent reporting on issues affecting migrant communities
• Coverage of local and state decisions that shape daily life
• A platform for small businesses and community groups
• Media training that builds skills within the community
