Download the new rupee font for your presentations (and your computer)

This post is applicable to readers who have got anything to do with Indian rupees.


Indian Rupee has got a new symbol. What earlier was denoted just as Rupees or Rs. or INR is now denoted by a new symbol. This change happened two months back. People have already started using it. You can see it in advertisements and posters all around you. It is time you got the symbol too and started using it in your presentations (and excel sheets and word docs).
