Travelers cheques
Traveller’s Cheques issued by reputable companies (e.g. Thomas Cook, American Express) are accepted without difficulty. Traveler’s Cheques exchanged in banks or hotels, and can only very rarely be used directly for Payment. You need identification documents like a passport to be shown. Except in hotels, encashing Traveler’s Cheques nearly always takes up to 30 minutes or longer, So it is worth taking larger denomination Traveler’s Cheques and changing enough to last for some days. Banks accept both Dollar and sterling. Other major currency Traveler’s Cheques are also accepted in some larger cities. If you are traveling to remote areas it is advised that you buy Indian Rupee Traveler’s Cheques from a major bank, as these are more widely accepted than foreign currency ones.
