Re: The Rupee
Depends where you are in the World,I suppose.
Sending sterling to your Indian bank account from the UK has the same effect. Just making the point it's high at the moment. Can't really see you missing a trick old son, far too wiley, and a Yorkie as well ! ;);) |

Enfield, When you say 'buy' - do you mean send some 'sterling' from the UK (or where ever) to your Indian bank account? I thought that was the way to do it or am I missing a trick?
Hemingway. bABU will put you right - it costs at least £25 to send it from here. Anyway, we are not supposed to have bank accounts out there :rofl: |
Re: The Rupee
Why shouldn't we have a bank account,I have two, one since 1995 ?
I regularly transfer money from the UK with no problems ,and also invest a few lakhs at 10% for up to 12 months at a time. :ohmy::ohmy: |

Re: The Rupee
Hi Morse,
We use money2india online transfer to ICICI India without transfer charge, and you get the daily interbank forex rate. Also, the transfer is trackable online. You can transfer to other banks in India using ICICI's facility, but think there may be a charge. Agree with enfield, exchange rate picking up nicely, more rupees to the pound up in line with dollar weakening. Quoting £1 = 85.1465 as I type. Was as low as 77 R/-at one point last season, and briefly touched an 88 R/- high some months before that. :D Likewise, have 2 bank accounts there without problem, but don't think it's really worth it on the 12% interest when declared inflation in India is running at 13% (and more in Goa), unless you take advantage of currency fluctuations, and that would involve the hassles of repatriation of funds. The 20% costs (£25 you cited) I think you're referring to are when you make a cash withdrawl from a UK ATM using an Indian card. You lose about 20% on the transaction, most of which is tax, the rest on the poor rate of conversion. Am sitting on the sidelines to transfer to India, but have a feeling the exchange rate might nudge up a little more, even better if you are sending Foreign Exchange to India (i.e selling pounds; buying rupees).:);) ICICI UK have a nice 7.2% Hi Save 12 month lock in at the moment if you're looking for a safe haven for cash in the UK, and RBS have a 7.25% 12 month Cash mini Isa (variable with B of E base rates); £3.600 allowance. Otherwise, there's money to be made in these turbulent markets. IMHO, it's a disgrace that they banned "short selling"on financials; the only way to hedge your lossses if you're actually holding stock, depreciating in value. Seems like incompetent risk takers in the UK and US are getting big rewards for their failure, while the ordinary tax payer, small invester, home owner, suffers and foots the bill.:ohmy::frown: |

Yes we have two as well, but I think if you read back to one of Douglas's threads, we are not supposed to have our individual accounts. Even more so now we have not got our 5 year x. We transfer money no problem BUT I am sure I too have read it that like owning our own property we should not have bank accounts :rofl::rofl::rofl: Oh well! here we go again.
Not sure if we'd be contravening banking regs. without them ? Fiscally Yours ;) |

A radio station was running a competition – words that weren’t in the dictionary yet could still be used in a sentence that would make logical sense. The prize was a trip to Bali. DJ: “96 FM here, what’s your name?†Caller: “Hi, my name’s Dave.†DJ: “Dave, what’s your word?†Caller: “Goan... spelt G-O-A-N pronounced ‘go-an’.†DJ: “You are correct, Dave, ‘goan’ is not in the dictionary. Now, for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?†Caller: “Goan f**k yourself!†The DJ cut the caller off and took other calls, all unsuccessful until: DJ: “96 FM, what’s your name?†Caller: “Hi, me name’s Jeff.†DJ: “Jeff, what’s your word?†Caller: “Smee, spelt S-M-E-E, pronounced ‘smee’.†DJ: “You are correct, Jeff, ‘smee’ is not in the dictionary. Now, for a trip to Bali: What sentence can you use that word in that would make sense?†Caller: “Smee again! Goan f**k yourself!� I apologise if the 'bad' word offends anyone - but I have asterisked it out. Regards Hemingway |

Re: The Rupee
RIP the £
Yesterday it hit the 70 Rupee mark on the streets of Calangute, how low can it go? 4 weeks ago it was 83, almost 20% higher ! Thailand is the same 50 Bahts to the £ now , 64 when we left just over 5 weeks ago. Some expensive holidays for folks this year. :(:( |
