Pilgrims to Kartarpur can carry just Rs 11000 in cash: RBI

Pilgrims to Kartarpur can carry just Rs 11000 in cash: RBI
Gurdwara Kartarpur Sahib in Pakistan
MUMBAI: The Reserve Bank of India has reduced the currency limit for those visiting Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan through the Kartarpur Sahib Corridor.
In an order issued under the foreign exchange management Act, the central bank said travellers using this corridor can carry outside and bring in Indian or foreign currency notes the value of which can't exceed Rs 11,000.
The Kartarpur Sahib Corridor enables Sikh pilgrims from India to visit the gurudwara, which is within Pakistan's borders without a visa. But the permit is for a limited purpose. Pilgrims can go in the morning and must return the same day. They are not allowed to visit any place outside Kartarpur Sahib.
RBI rules for international travel allow Indians to carry currency (in cash) up to Rs 25,000 and foreign currency up to $3,000 per trip. Travellers (other than those from Pakistan) can enter India with up to Rs 25,000 of Indian notes.
