Abstract Rupee depreciation refers to the fall of the value of home currency against the foreign currency caused by the demand for foreign currency exceeding its supply in the market at a given point of time. Presently rupee has been continuing with its downward trend since a couple of months. Moving from bad to worse, the Indian currency hit new all time low of 68.85 three weeks ago. In such a situation one has to pay more than before to get units of foreign currency. This fall takes place in the market and on its own.
