The Singapore Dollar is issued by the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) under a managed-float exchange-rate regime, meaning MAS targets a trade-weighted basket rather than pegging directly to any single currency. Notes circulate in S$2, S$5, S$10, S$50 and S$100. The current Portrait series (since 1999) features Yusof bin Ishak, Singapore's first president. The rarely-used S$1000 was discontinued for new issue in 2020. The INR/SGD rate has traded in a ₹60-₹63 band through 2024-2025, generally tracking the SGD's broader strength against Asian currencies.

SGD Exchange FAQs
Everything you need to know about buying and selling Singapore Dollar in Chennai
You can exchange Singapore Dollar (SGD) at Scope Forex, an RBI-licensed full-fledged money changer (FFMC) on Poonamallee High Road in Nerkundram, near Titan World and opposite Canara Bank. It is a short drive from Mogappair, Anna Nagar, Aminjikarai, Koyambedu, and Porur. Bring your passport for any foreign-currency transaction, and your PAN card for amounts above INR 50,000. Confirm the day's SGD rate on WhatsApp at +91 93811 11767 before you visit, and the quote holds for 60 minutes.
Your Passport is the primary document for a foreign-currency transaction. For amounts above the equivalent of USD 3,000, or for outward remittance purposes, you will also need your confirmed air ticket for travel-purpose forex. PAN Card is required for all transactions above INR 50,000 as per RBI guidelines. A visa is not required to buy the currency itself; carry it only if your own travel needs it.
We can source S$1000 notes on request with 48 hours' notice, but we don't recommend them for travel. MAS stopped issuing new S$1000 notes in 2020 as part of anti-money-laundering measures, and most Singapore retailers refuse to accept them. The practical maximum denomination for travel is S$100. For amounts above S$10,000, we strongly recommend pairing cash with a multi-currency forex card.
Singapore is heavily card-and-digital, but cash is still useful in three places: hawker centres (most stalls accept PayLah or cash), older taxis and SMRT/MRT top-up machines for the EZ-Link card, and small Little India / Chinatown shops. A typical first-week float of S$300-S$600 in mixed S$10/S$50 notes covers these comfortably. After that, most travellers shift to card or digital wallets.
Yes, fully permitted under RBI's Liberalised Remittance Scheme. For amounts above USD 3,000-equivalent, we collect your IPA letter, employment offer, valid passport and PAN. If your application is later refused, the currency converts back to INR at our standing buy rate. Bring it back to us with the refusal documentation.
With the SGD trading in the low-₹60s band through 2024-2026, S$5,000 works out to roughly ₹3.0-3.2 lakh, but the exact figure moves through the day with the interbank market. For the precise INR amount, call or WhatsApp +91 93811 11767 for today's confirmed SGD rate (valid 60 minutes). Remember that a purchase of this size needs your passport and PAN card, and amounts above ₹50,000 must be paid by bank transfer, not cash.
