The Indian rupee today fell by 20 paise against the US currency in early trade on expectation of heavy capital outflows and increased dollar demand from importers.
At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (Forex) market, the domestic unit declined by 20 paise to 48.81 a dollar over its previous close of 48.61.
