Falling trend was seen on the currency market on Monday as the rupee fell versus dollar and euro, dealers said.
In the first Asian trade euro edged up after Greece's parliament approved an austerity bill that put the country a step closer to securing much-needed funds, though market players worried about more hurdles before lenders seal a bailout deal.
Violent street protests in Athens and the departure of six Greek cabinet ministers underscored the difficulty of implementing unpopular steps.
Euro zone finance ministers also expect Greece to explain how 325 million euros ($430 million) of this year's total budget cuts-as yet unspecified-will be achieved before it agrees to the bailout in a meeting on Wednesday.
The dollar was trading versus the Indian rupee at Rs 49.27, the greenback was at 3.0250 versus the Malaysian ringgit and the US currency was at 6.298 in relation to the Chinese yuan.
