No, you'll get more for your Indian rupees if you sell when the Indian rupee buyback rate is low. This is due to a quirk of how British currency providers display their buyback exchange rates.
When you buy Indian rupees, the exchange rate you get is the amount of Indian rupees you'll receive for every pound that you spend, so for example a rate of 125.862 means you'd get ₹125.862 for each £1 that you spend. You can calculate the total amount of Indian rupees you'd receive for a given amount of sterling by simply multiplying the sterling amount by the exchange rate.
When it comes to selling Indian rupees, the buyback rate is expressed in terms of how many Indian rupees you'd need to sell in order to get £1, so a buyback rate of 125.862 means you'd need to sell ₹125.862 to get £1. To calculate the sterling value of a given amount of Indian rupees, you need to divide the Indian rupee amount by the buyback rate. Since you're dividing by the buyback rate, a lower buyback rate means you'd get more sterling compared to a higher buyback rate.
One Indian rupee (₹) can be subdivided into 100 paisa, although paisa coins are rarely used due to their low value and the smallest unit of currency you're likely to come across is the ₹1 coin. There are seven denominations of Indian rupee banknotes in frequent circulation: ₹10, ₹20, ₹50, ₹100, ₹200, ₹500, and ₹200; and three frequently-used coin denominations: ₹1, ₹2 and ₹5.
The current series of Indian rupee banknotes in circulation is the 'Mahatma Gandhi New Series' which was introduced by the Reserve Bank of India in 2016. Each banknote in the series features a portrait of Mahatma Gandhi; the Father of the Nation and an iconic leader of India's independence movement. The reverse side of each note depicts various Indian motifs and elements. For example, the ₹10 note displays the image of the Konark Sun Temple, representing India's rich cultural heritage, while the the ₹20 note features an image of the Ellora Caves which are renowned for their architectural marvels. The Rani Ki Vav - an intricately designed stepwell located in the state of Gujarat - is featured on the ₹100 note, and the Mangalyaan (India's Mars Orbiter) is featured on the ₹2000 note.
