Template:Indian rupee/doc

Relevant discussion at

→ Template talk:Currency#Suggestions for a standard set of options for each template

This is a multifunction template. At its simplest, it adds the currency mark "₹", as recommended by MOS:CURRENCY for many situations. The template can also link to the Indian rupee article and can even calculate inflation. See warnings below.

Usage

{{₹|value}}

Example:

• {{₹}} → ₹
• {{₹|123.45}} → ₹123.45

Link

The parameter |link=yes may be used to link ₹ to the article Indian rupee. This is turned off by default, but may be appropriate for the first occurrence of the term in an article.

Example:

• {{₹|123.45|link=yes}} → ₹123.45

Inflation calculation

The template supports inflation calculation, by way of {{Inflation}}. If the second parameter is used, to specify a year, and this year is within a certain range of available inflation data (specifically, if 1595 ≤ year < 2023), the equivalent value represented in 2023 rupees will be calculated in parentheses. However, this function should only be used in appropriate situations.

• {{₹|value|year}}
• {{₹|value|year|round=round|about=yes}}

Examples:

• {{₹|100|1594}} → ₹100
• {{₹|100|1595}} → ₹100 (equivalent to ₹155,627 in 2023)
• {{₹|100|1990}} → ₹100 (equivalent to ₹980.6 in 2023)
• {{₹|100|1990|link=yes}} → ₹100 (equivalent to ₹980.6 in 2023)
• {{₹|100|2022}} → ₹100 (equivalent to ₹105.96 in 2023)
• {{₹|100|2023}} → ₹100
• {{₹|100|2024}} → ₹100
• {{₹|100|2025}} → ₹100

Additional parameter |about=yes will cause the template to calculate to the nearest rupee (instead of the nearest paisa), and prefix the calculated value with "about". The rounding can be fine-tuned further by using |round=integer. These parameters may be combined.

Examples:

• {{₹|10|1990}} → ₹10 (equivalent to ₹98.06 in 2023)
• {{₹|10|1990|round=0}} → ₹10 (equivalent to ₹98 in 2023)
• {{₹|10|1990|about=yes}} → ₹10 (equivalent to about ₹98 in 2023)
• {{₹|1000|1990|round=2}} → ₹1,000 (equivalent to ₹9,806.03 in 2023)
• {{₹|1000|1990|round=-2}} → ₹1,000 (equivalent to ₹9,800 in 2023)
• {{₹|1000|1990|round=-2|about=yes}} → ₹1,000 (equivalent to about ₹9,800 in 2023)
