# Amount in words

> Type an amount; get it in words the Indian way, in lakh and crore, in English, Hindi or Tamil, ready for a cheque.

Cheques and invoices in India write amounts with lakh and crore: 1,25,000 is one lakh twenty-five thousand. The words end with "only" so nothing can be added after them.

## How do I write 1,50,000 on a cheque?

One lakh fifty thousand rupees only.

## What about paise?

Type them after a decimal point: 2500.50 becomes two thousand five hundred rupees and fifty paise only.
