The Persian Gulf Rupee or the Gulf Rupee was a currency issued by the Government of India and the Reserve Bank of India for use in the Persian Gulf and the Arabic peninsula. The Indian rupee was an official currency in several areas that were controlled by the British and governed from India and it was a legal tender in the Gulf countries up till 1966.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In mid 20th<\/sup> century, there was much smuggling of gold in India due to the excessive external use of rupee. While the smuggling problem lasted for many years it reached to alarming proportions in 1957-58. India was paying for the illegal importation of gold through its foreign reserves. To reduce the strain on India\u2019s foreign reserves and to turn the balance of trade in India\u2019s favour, a separate currency was created. This new rupee note was called as Gulf Rupee and was issued by the Government of India (INR 1) and the Reserve Bank of India (INR 5, 10, 100) only to be used as a legal tender outside the country.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

These new rupee notes were introduced by a bill passed in both the Houses of the Indian Parliament and with the Presidential assent on May 1, 1959, and were called as the \u201cExternal Rupee\u201d or the \u201cGulf Rupee\u201d<\/strong>. This issue of the \u2018special notes\u2019 was not a legal tender in India and was exclusively for use in the Persian Gulf.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

General Description:<\/u><\/p>\n

The series of these special notes were identical to the \u2018Indian rupee\u2019 except for a change in its colour, a legend on the obverse and it indicated that they were payable \u201cat the Office of Issue at Bombay\u201d instead of payable \u201cat any office of issue\u201d. They carried a special serial number prefix of \u201cZ\u201d.<\/p>\n

In spite of the introduction of \u201cGulf Rupee\u201d, a great number of Indian rupees were repatriated from Saudi Arabia. These were the rupees taken by the Haj pilgrims each year to Saudi Arabia and exchanged for Saudi riyals.\u00a0 These Indian rupees could be repatriated to the RBI in Bombay and converted in pound sterling according to the arrangements in place with the banks in Saudi Arabia.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Further to ensure that no smuggled rupees could return from the Persian Gulf from the Saudi Arabian Banks, the Reserve Bank of India introduced two special \u201cHaj Notes<\/strong>\u201d along with the \u201cGulf rupee\u201d in May 1959.<\/p>\n
