The Indian Rupee (currency code: INR, symbol: ₹) is the official currency of India, issued and managed by the Reserve Bank of India. The Rupee is a floating currency, meaning its value moves in response to economic conditions, inflation data, interest rate decisions and global market sentiment. Banknotes are issued in denominations of 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500 and 2000 INR, with coins available in 1, 2, 5 and 10 Rupees. For most everyday spending, 100 and 500 INR notes are the most practical and widely used throughout the country.
