How to use
How to write an amount in words
Cheques, receipts, bills, bank challans, demand drafts and many forms need the amount written in words as well as figures. This tool converts any amount instantly into English words in the Indian system ("Rupees Twelve Lakh Fifty Thousand Only"), the international system (million, billion) and, if you need it, Hindi words – including paise.
India uses the lakh–crore system: 1,00,000 is one lakh and 1,00,00,000 is one crore. Cheques in India are written in this style, ending with “Only” to prevent tampering. For export invoices and international clients, the tool also shows the million–billion form.
Steps
- Type the amount, e.g.
125000.50(commas and ₹ are fine). - Read it in English (Indian), Hindi, Indian number format (₹1,25,000.50) and international words.
- Turn on CAPITALS for cheques and tap Copy to paste into Word, Tally or a form.
