Earlier, the greenback had closed at Rs262.51.
The currency (Pakistani rupee) depreciated by 22.4% during the ongoing fiscal year against the greenback.
The US dollar gained over Rs30 in the interbank market since the Exchange Companies Association of Pakistan (Ecap) removed an unofficial cap on the exchange rate.
The rise is attributed to the resumption of $7 billion Extended Fund Facility (EFF) stalled for months.
Pakistan was eyeing to reach an agreement with the International Monetary Fund (IMF) that would not only lead to a disbursement of $1.2bn but also unlock inflows from friendly countries.
