Hyderabad: Hyderabad Metro Rail passengers cannot carry more than ₹2 lakh in cash during travel, as per Reserve Bank of India (RBI) guidelines. Officials reiterated the rule after a passenger faced restrictions at Jubilee Hills Checkpost Metro Station on Wednesday.
Security staff found ₹3.5 lakh in cash with the commuter during screening. They stopped him and explained that RBI rules allow only up to ₹2 lakh inside metro trains.
