Dollar Vs Rupees: India exports many goods from tea to spices. At the same time, it also imports pulses from edible oil. Right now one has to depend on the dollar for the payment of this export and import. But now these days are about to change. Very soon international trade will be paid in rupees. The maximum benefit from this will be to those small and medium traders who do the business of import-export.

Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal says that very soon the traders of the country will be able to do foreign trade in rupees only. To start this facility, different countries are opening a special vostro account with Indian banks, or entering into an agreement.
