Throughout the period India had a large export surplus which helps in payment of the sterling home charge and narrow the gap of British trade deficit with the US and Europe. There was a regular import of silver. The rupee which was two shilling (2s) in 1872 was arbitrarily fixed as 1s. 4d (one shilling four pence) in 1893, on which the govt. sold unlimited council bills. Till 1930-31 India was a net importer of gold/ silver but from 1930-31 she was a net importer of gold. The government abandoned the policy of keeping the exchange rate fixed where the Rupee rose to 2s. 4d.in 1919 and in 1921 fell to 1s.3d. The Hilton young commission fixed it at 1s.6d. And was linked to the gold and sterling .After British went out of the gold standard in 1931 the rupee was simply linked to the pound sterling. Indians wanted the rupee to be fixed at 1s.4d. ( so that goods exported abroad would be cheaper in terms of sterling ) while Manchester forced it at 1s.6d ensuring that their manufactured goods would remain competitive rupee payments for home charges , and less pensioner benefits to the office.
