This has not been true for nearly a decade. Back in 2014 the RBI allowed foreigners to take in and out up to ₹25,000 - the limit may be higher now, not sure. Curiously, foreigners may take cash in and out this way only when entering or leaving at an airport, not for land and sea travel. I suppose the land restriction is intended to curb physical movement of cash to bad actors based in Pakistan.
