Currency Exchange in Rajkot

If you’re looking for a forex dealer offering the best rates in Rajkot, go to Dr Yagnik Road. It has multiple dealers operating within walking distance of each other. Especially if you have a large amount of cash to exchange, you can get a better rate after comparing two or three dealers.

Avoid booking your currency during late Saturday and Sunday afternoons. This is when domestic trading is paused, and the dealers add a safety premium of INR 0.30 to 0.50 per unit. To avoid the buffer charges, buy forex on weekdays between 11:30 AM and 2:30 PM.

If you’re a student from Rajkot planning to study abroad in the US, UK or Canada then you can get a student discount. Make sure to carry your university offer letter or the GIC documentation to specialised dealers such as DK Forex or Thomas Cook. They offer wholesale rates for student remittance and a large volume of academic tuition fees.

Avoid unlisted local agents near Soni Bazar, which is famous for its gold jewellery market. They may offer good rates but demand physical cash without proper paperwork. These are risky and often don’t comply with FEMA guidelines. It also increases the risk of counterfeit notes, and no GST invoice means you can’t sell leftover currency once you return.
