There's also the informal tax that a tourist would pay. I've even traveled there with someone that is a non-resident Indian (NRI) and he joked with me that while I was getting "ripped off" at one rate, he still wasn't getting the local rate, but "ripped off" a little less. Honestly, the ripped off part came to a few rupees here or there for the most part.
