As a result, the rupee devalued by 38.5% between 1982–83 and 1987–88 and the cost of importing raw materials increased rapidly, causing pressure on Pakistani finances and damaging much of the industrial base.

Such a unit of a thousandth of a pound would have also been similar in value to the farthing coin (worth 1 ⁄ 960 of a pound). By the time British currency was decimalised in 1971, the farthing had been demonetised eleven years prior, in part due to having its value eroded by inflation; thus, the mil was no longer necessary.
The template supports inflation calculation, by way of {{}}.If the second parameter is used, to specify a year, and this year is within a certain range of available inflation data (specifically, if 1960 ≤ year < 2021), the equivalent value represented in 2021 rupee will be calculated in parentheses.
