Rupees in Words Converter

Indian numbering groups digits differently from the international system: the last three digits, then pairs. So ten lakh is written 10,00,000 rather than 1,000,000. The converter reads the digits in that grouping and names each part: crore, lakh, thousand, then the hundreds.

Cheque puts “Rupees” first and “Only” last, the way amounts are written on Indian cheques. Amount gives plain wording, such as “one lakh fifty thousand rupees”, for invoices, receipts and forms.

1. On the line after the printed word “Rupees”, start writing at the far left so nothing can be added in front.
2. Write the amount in words and end with “Only”: “One Lakh Fifty Thousand Only”.
3. Draw a line through the space left after the words.
4. In the box, write the figures close to the ₹ sign, followed by “/-”: ₹1,50,000/-.
5. Make sure the words and figures match before you sign.

The printed “Rupees” already starts the line, so leave it out of what you write: copy the result above without the first word if your cheque has it printed.
