Devaluation of currency means reduction in the value of currency.

Ex. If we are sending Rs.45 for 1$ but now 1$=Rs50, It means we have send more.

It shows value of Rupee is weak as compared with dollar.

There are two scenarios a) devaluation b) depreciation.

If value of currency was reduced due to market forces i.e. demand and supply its depreciation of currency.

But when the government or other legal authority reduces the value of their currency its called devaluation.

In reality devaluation refers when domestic currency of a country reduces or is been reduced in relation to other currency.

How does the value of money gets devaluated?

What are the drawbacks if we do not devaluate money?

Prasad said:   1 decade ago
Can anyone explain? Who has decided the currency rate of one country with respect to other country, and How it has been decided ?

Why can't 1 Rupee = 1$ ?

In international market for exchange of any goods and services the standard currency is dollar.

So if India want to buy something then he must need dollar and american give them dollar 1 dollar and take 50 rupee because demand of dollar is more than its supply. The rate change is changed continuously because of growth rate.

Devaluation is different the depreciation/appreciation of currency, so the option is wrong to me.
