It is always a pain to have to change money when you get to a destination and next year when I visit India, I will be touring as soon as get of the aircraft in Delhi.

Yes my, girlfriend- much to my surprise- was able to obtain Rupees from the Royal Bank of Scotland, Bank Street, Kirriemuir before our recent journey to Goa.
I think all the big banks can do this now.

I guess the easy way is to pay an Indian in your currency through paypal and then receive your payment less the transaction charges from paypal in indian rupees. Being an Indian ,I can suggest that.Even through ebay's paisapay option I think you can do that.If you want more info you can email me at sonal@raceaheadproductions.com or spangoriya@yahoo.co.uk
Ofcourse Money exchanger shops must be there in your place too.But I believe through ebay.in it will save you time, money and energy and be the safest option.

No need to exchange from your country. Now in India, Credit cards are used very commonly. Even if you need to exchange the currency, Exchange at the airport as soon as you arrive in India. There are many foreign exchnage houses at any international airports in India.

Of course you can, try Citibank they manage almost all currencies.
Anyway, my advise is that you carry a small amount in cash and buy a money order payable in rupees for your safety, this advise applies to any country you travel to, not only India.

Why not just get the money out of an ATM in the airport, it's by far the cheapest, easiest way, and only takes a minute or two.

The notes are printed in India but the paper which is used to make these notes are being imported from Switzerland. This is the the reason we can't stop the business of making fake currency.
