Hey #tribe Where would I get the best conversion rate if I want EUR in cash? Bank? Local dealer? Want to keep some in hand for my trip to Amsterdam.

Check out https://www.bookmyforex.com/ Used them twice and their rates seem to be the same as the local guy in Pune. Plus home delivery and no need to go to dark alleyways 😁

Thanks @loud-glass-33663 Looks good but I think it is asking a lot of documents. Is it normal for forex conversion? I have never done that before.

I guess. It would be mandated by the govt otherwise they wouldn't ask you. Banks would probably require the same. Passport + Visa + tickets are quite routine + PAN

Hmm. Did not know that. Thank you. 😄

If you need an offline one in bangalore, I know a reliable one in Commercial Street

I use the HDFC multicurrency Forex card (with the negotiated conversion rates for INR-EUR, like I do with the EUR-INR remittance). Then I simply withdraw from the ATM once I reach a Euro country. You can do the same with most other currencies with this card.
