As far as I know, you don't need to do anything special
if you have installed tfrupee that comes with texlive 2012.
I have installed full texlive barring documentation in
languages other than english and support for languages
other than english and indic languages.
I tried using tfrupee with dvips.( I usually use it with
pdftex.) It works
perfectly.  I am using the tfrupee package that
comes with texlive 2012,
Here is the test file I used.
*************************************
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tfrupee}
\begin{document}
The cost is \rupee 2.
\end{document}

Here is my log from latex:
