	The Peninsula On-line: Qatar's leading English Daily
		DOHA • The Indian rupee has been falling over the past two to three days with its exchange rate against the Qatari riyal (QR) yesterday averaging 12.79, the lowest in months.
		For expatriate Indians in Qatar, a falling rupee is good news since they get better exchange rate for each riyal they save, but the thinking has a basic flaw as a weakening home currency leads to rising costs back home.
		Since the QR is pegged to the dollar, each time the rupee takes a beating against the greenback, it loses to the Qatari currency as well.
