    I think that there is a prohibition on taking Indian Currency abroad. I f that is there then why give them time.
    I can understand other circumstances of people having gone abroad earlier than 08 Nov and returning post 30 Dec 2016, if they have left behind some old currency at home. If that be so, is it their entire family was abroad making it a valid reason?
