Didnt look yesterday,but 72 rps still on Sunday 
Over the last three weeks the best rate ( regrettably after and as a result of the terrorist attacks) was R76. This lasted a day and most of the time the rate hovered around 72 falling to 70 at the end of last week.
The one tip I would give is try and avoid changing money at the weekend as the rates are usually set a bit lower . I was suprised to see a new arrival at our hotel ( where the rate was R3 lower than the money exchange 50 metres away) cash in £350 on a Sunday. The rate was R67 !

That is why the Nationwide card is so good as you get bank rates and no need to shop around
If I could remember my online password I would check my account to see what rate I got on the one time I used it !
The only drawback with a card is having to go to Calangute to use it.

I bet you got at least 77rps it is always well above what you get on the streets
Hi
I thought I would let others know that I have just ordered some Indian Ruppees via Tesco travel section. It is a poor rate ie £50 = 3500r which costa £57 inc delivery etc.
I have not received these yet as I know it is a closed currency but the money has been taken from my account.
For anybody wishing to buy a few before arrival it may be of use.

Info for anyone who uses Lloyds. In the past I have gone into my bank and ordered TC. This time I was told that in order to get them commission free I had to order them on line or over the telephone. I tried to order on line but wasn't confident about this as I received no confirmation or reference number so when I got home from work I rang them and was told it hadn't gone through! I again ordered them over the telephone but had real trouble jconvincing them I didn't want dollar TC but sterling. They were very insistant I had dollar ones. Why don't these banks let us do what we want with our own money. I wont feel confident until I go into the bank tomorrow to pick them up. Teach me to leave things to the last minute. I will definately open a nationwide account when I come back from Goa.
I was told exactly the same. They charge commission now, which i haven't paid before. I ordered online, no problem, last friday. They gave me a reference number and l collected them yesterday.
They haven't charged me commission at least I don't think they have. The only amount taken out of my account was the amount I asked for in TCs. I will find out if it is different when I collect them today.
They didn't charge commission as i applied online.
I was told by the bank that there is no commission when bought on line or over the phone.
i asked yesterday at my bank and no commision if you order online or over the phone..
Think we are pretty well sorted on that then! 
The rate of the rupee is rubbish just now 
between 71-72 rupees to the pound. One day we only got 70 rps to the pound

would it be worth taking euros,,,,? I get lost with all the conversions,, does anyone know how to compare the difference 
Geri the Euro out there is worse than the pound.
Today's exchange:
1.00 EUR = 66.5049 INR
1.00 GBP = 73.8776 INR

The Euro rate is interesting !
They are making £1 = Euro 1.11
No way you can get that at home. It was 1.04 on the tourist rate a couple of days ago.
