Same-Day Delivery
Same-Day Forex Delivery Across Chennai
Chennai's delivery footprint spreads from the central hubs of T. Nagar and Nungambakkam to the OMR IT corridor in the south. Same-day delivery means the currency reaches your door on the day you order, not two days later, for orders placed before 2 PM, Monday to Saturday.
The online order takes under 10 minutes: check the live rate, place the order, upload documents, confirm payment. For a time-sensitive visa approval or an imminent departure, that speed matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
Currency Exchange in Chennai: FAQs
Where is the Matrix Forex branch in Chennai?
The Matrix Forex branch in Chennai is at Spaces 6th Floor, Express Avenue, EA Chambers Tower II, Whites Road, Royapettah, Chennai 600014, open Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM. You can buy or sell foreign currency, collect a forex card, or begin an outward remittance in person. Call +91 9560807781 to confirm availability of a specific currency before visiting.
Do you deliver foreign currency across Chennai?
Yes. Matrix Forex delivers across Chennai, including T. Nagar, Nungambakkam, Royapettah, Adyar, Velachery, the OMR corridor, Anna Nagar and Kilpauk. Orders placed before 2 PM are delivered the same day, Monday to Saturday. Currency is handed over against original KYC documents, so the person named on the order should be present.
Do you deliver forex to OMR, Velachery and Anna Nagar?
Yes. OMR, Velachery and Anna Nagar are covered by same-day delivery from the Matrix Forex branch at Royapettah, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before 2 PM. Orders placed close to the 2 PM cut-off are better scheduled for the following morning.
Can I collect currency from the Royapettah branch instead of taking delivery?
Yes. Collection at the Royapettah branch is available Monday to Saturday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, at no additional charge. Booking online and collecting in person lets you lock the rate before travelling to the branch. Bring the original documents used for your KYC.
What documents do I need to buy foreign currency in Chennai?
To buy foreign currency in Chennai you need a valid passport, your confirmed air ticket, a visa where the destination requires one, and PAN. KYC is completed digitally in about five minutes. As an RBI Authorised Dealer Category-II, Matrix Forex must verify these documents against your travel before releasing currency.
How do I send money abroad from Chennai?
Outward remittances from Chennai are sent by SWIFT under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme, covering education, medical treatment, family maintenance and travel. Start online or at the Royapettah branch, submit your KYC and purpose documents, and Matrix Forex shares the SWIFT copy and GST invoice once the transfer is executed.
What is the LRS limit for sending money abroad from Chennai?
Resident individuals in Chennai may remit up to USD 250,000 per financial year under the Liberalised Remittance Scheme, across all permitted purposes combined. The limit applies per person, so family members hold separate limits. Amounts above this require prior approval from the Reserve Bank of India.
What TCS applies when I send money abroad from Chennai?
For self-funded education and medical remittances, TCS applies at 2% on the amount above ₹10 lakh in a financial year. Education funded by an approved education loan attracts 0%. Other purposes, including travel and family maintenance, attract 20% above the threshold. TCS is credited against your income tax liability, so it is not a cost.
Can I get a Matrix Forex Card in Chennai?
Yes. The Matrix Forex Card holds up to 28 currencies at once and can be collected at the Royapettah branch or delivered anywhere in Chennai. Loading the currencies of the countries you are visiting avoids cross-currency conversion charges when you spend, which is where most card users lose money abroad.
Do you deliver forex in Chennai on Sundays?
Same-day delivery in Chennai runs Monday to Saturday for orders placed before 2 PM. Sunday delivery is currently available from the New Delhi branch only. If you are flying out on a Monday, place your Chennai order by Saturday afternoon so the currency reaches you in time.
What exchange rate do I get in Chennai?
Matrix Forex quotes the live interbank rate with zero markup, so the rate shown in Chennai is the rate you pay. Rates move through the day and the quote is locked once you book. Airport counters and most banks add a spread on top of the interbank rate, which is why their quote differs.
Can companies in Chennai arrange corporate forex?
Yes. Matrix Forex handles corporate travel forex and business remittances for companies across Chennai, including the OMR corridor and Nungambakkam, with FEMA-compliant documentation and GST invoicing. Volume-based pricing is available. Contact the Royapettah branch on +91 9560807781 to set up an account.
Is Matrix Forex authorised by the RBI to exchange currency in Chennai?
Yes. Matrix Forex is an RBI Authorised Dealer Category-II, Licence No. NDL-ADII-0023-2023, and the Chennai branch operates under that authorisation. Every transaction is conducted under FEMA, with KYC and AML checks completed before currency is released or a remittance is sent.
