One of the reasons I wanted to reach Chennai before noon was because we had to go to the Bank to cash in 2 cheques (from my brother and sister) and try to get the cash today itself.
In most circumstances the ban would credit the check immediately and then adjust the dollar rate on actual realisation of the check.
Today however they were a little moody as it was Sauturday and they couldn’t get the rates. However after a little persuasion and patience they agreed to credit it at Rs. 43 per dollar and then adjust the rate when possible. 15 minutes later we walked out with the necessary cash.
If we didnt get the cash today it would have meant that I would have had to stay on till tuesday which would have been very inconvenient!
