Managing the rupee
The rupee has weakened by about 5.5 per cent against the US dollar since the Iran war began. That makes foreign payments and imports costlier for your business. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) steps in to steady the currency, but that intervention must be limited. Keep an eye on your dollar payments and plan foreign purchases carefully.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The rupee has depreciated by about 5.5 per cent against the dollar since the start of the Iran war.

Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Look at your upcoming foreign currency payments and imports now, and factor in the chance of further rupee weakness while you plan them. For anything large, speak to your CA or banker about timing and hedging options before you commit, since the rupee's direction is not certain.
