Nepal allows citizens, Indians to carry up to ₹25,000 in post-2016 Indian currency notes

Nepal allows Nepali and Indian citizens to carry up to ₹25,000 in Indian currency notes of ₹200 and ₹500 denominations issued on or after November 9, 2016.

Indian currency notes of ₹500 and ₹1,000 issued before November 9, 2016 remain prohibited in Nepal.

Nepali nationals cannot bring Indian currency into Nepal from any country other than India, nor carry it to a third country except India.

The move facilitates Indian tourists visiting Nepal and Nepalese nationals engaged in trade and business with India.

Nepalese nationals and foreign visitors can bring up to USD 5,000 into Nepal without customs declaration; amounts above require declaration.
