The Reserve Bank of India while making these changes from the earlier limit of Rs 10,000 said in a notification, “ In view of the evolving economic conditions and with a view to facilitating travel requirements of residents travelling aboard as well as non-residents visiting India, it has been decided to allow all residents and non-residents (except citizens of Pakistan and Bangladesh and also other travellers coming from and going to Pakistan and Bangladesh) to take out Indian currency notes up to Rs 25,000 while leaving the country”.
The central bank has made the required changes in the concerned notifications and rules and brought in line the earlier notices and policy documents.
