Cash can be obtained in foreign currency and not INR provided a declaration is made with the Customs at the Airports and a letter is obtained from the buyer that the payment is made as an advance against PO Number _____ with description of the goods, rate and total value.
At the time of clearance of BRC, this declaration and the letter from the buyer will have to submitted to the bank.
