Indian vs International Number System
India uses a different number naming system from most of the world. While the International system groups digits in thousands (thousand, million, billion), the Indian system uses groups of two after the first thousand (lakh, crore).
| Number | Indian System | International System |
|---|
| 1,000 | One Thousand | One Thousand |
| 1,00,000 | One Lakh | One Hundred Thousand |
| 10,00,000 | Ten Lakh | One Million |
| 1,00,00,000 | One Crore | Ten Million |
| 1,00,00,00,000 | One Arab / 100 Crore | One Billion |
| 1,00,00,00,00,000 | One Kharab / 1000 Crore | One Hundred Billion |
How to Write Numbers on Cheques
When writing a cheque in India, the amount must be written in words in the Indian number system followed by "Only". Examples:
- ₹5,500 → "Five Thousand Five Hundred Only"
- ₹1,25,000 → "One Lakh Twenty Five Thousand Only"
- ₹50,00,000 → "Fifty Lakh Only"
- ₹2,15,63,420 → "Two Crore Fifteen Lakh Sixty Three Thousand Four Hundred Twenty Only"
💡 Always write the word amount in CAPITAL LETTERS on cheques to prevent fraud. Draw a line after the amount (e.g. "FIVE THOUSAND ONLY ——") to prevent alterations.
