Monetary unit of Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, and Pakistan worth one hundredth of a rupee (5)

I believe the answer is:

paisa

(Other definitions for paisa that I've seen before include "Indian copper" , "tiny amount of money in India" , "Indian monetary unit" , "Little cash in India" , "Monetary unit of India" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
