The Indian rupee today skidded by 8 paise against the dollar in early trade due to the month-end dollar demand from importers.
At the Interbank Foreign Exchange (forex) market, the domestic currency was quoted at 48.24 a dollar, a fall of 8 paise over the previous close. Yesterday, the rupee gained 6 paise to close at 48.16/17.
