Forex dealers said that a strong dollar against major currencies overseas restricted the rupee's gain to some extent.
The dollar index, which gauges the greenback's strength against a basket of six currencies, surged 0.13% to 92.73.
"The rupee appreciated for the first time in four sessions against the greenback, as the dollar selling by exporters and speculators outweighed the impact of weak risk appetite in the region, Sriram Iyer, Senior Research Analyst at Reliance Securities, said.
The dollar index advanced amid the risk-off tone and Asian currencies weakened and kept gains limited for the domestic unit, he added.
Meanwhile, Brent crude futures, the global oil benchmark, fell 0.46% to $41.92 per barrel.
On the domestic equity market front, the BSE benchmark Sensex settled 148.82 points lower at 40,558.49; and the NSE Nifty closed 41.20 points down at 11,896.45.
