Paying a school fee of ₹48,750.50: write “Rupees Forty-Eight Thousand Seven Hundred Fifty and Fifty Paise Only” on the words line and 48,750.50 in the box. For safety, begin writing at the far left, avoid gaps between words, and draw a line through any empty space after “Only”.

Frequently asked questions

How do I write an amount in words on a cheque?
Write “Rupees”, then the amount in words using lakh and crore, then “Only” — for example “Rupees One Lakh Twenty-Five Thousand Only”. Start right at the beginning of the line and draw a line after “Only” so nothing can be added.
How do I write paise on a cheque?
Add “and … Paise” before “Only”: ₹2,500.50 is “Rupees Two Thousand Five Hundred and Fifty Paise Only”. In the figures box write 2,500.50 (or 2,500/50).
Should I use lakh/crore or million/billion?
Indian banks and documents use the Indian system — thousand, lakh, crore. 10,00,000 is “Ten Lakh”, not “One Million”. The international system is available here for invoices to foreign clients.
Is “Rupees … Only” or “… Rupees Only” correct?
Both are accepted by banks. “Rupees One Thousand Only” is the most common style on cheques; “One Thousand Rupees Only” is also fine. Be consistent and leave no gaps.
Can I get the amount in Hindi?
Yes. The Hindi version follows the same lakh/crore system, for example “एक लाख पच्चीस हज़ार रुपये मात्र”.
