Frequently Asked Questions
How do I write an amount in words on a cheque?
Write the amount using the Indian system and end with the word 'Only' — for example ₹1,25,000 becomes 'Rupees One Lakh Twenty-Five Thousand Only'. Adding 'Only' prevents anyone from altering the amount.
What is the Indian numbering system?
The Indian system groups digits as hundreds, thousands, lakhs (1,00,000) and crores (1,00,00,000), unlike the international system's millions and billions. One million equals ten lakh; one billion equals one hundred crore.
Does this handle paise?
Yes — enter a decimal amount like 1500.75 and the converter includes 'and Seventy-Five Paise' in the cheque format.
