About this tool
Type an amount to get it in the form banks expect on a cheque: Rupees, then the amount in lakh and crore, then 'and' with the paise, ending with Only. You can also show the amount in Hindi. The words are generated from the digits you type, so copy them and compare them with the figures before you write.
Common questions
How do I write 1,234,567.50 on a cheque?
Rupees Twelve Lakh Thirty Four Thousand Five Hundred Sixty Seven and Fifty Paise Only.
Why write Only at the end?
It closes the amount so nothing can be added after it. Draw a line through any empty space as well.
Are the Hindi words correct for every number?
Hindi has an irregular word for every number from 0 to 99, so the page uses a full table rather than a rule. Amounts are built from lakh and crore.
