The rupee was marginally down by three paise at 64.99 against the dollar in early trade today due to month-end demand for the US currency from importers.

Besides, a lower opening in domestic equity markets kept pressure on the rupee, forex dealers said.

However, dollar was weak against other currencies overseas which capped the losses, they added.
