The Indian number system in brief
- 1,000 = One Thousand
- 1,00,000 = One Lakh
- 10,00,000 = Ten Lakh
- 1,00,00,000 = One Crore
Commas in India are placed after the first three digits from the right and then after every two digits, which is why 1,00,000 is written differently from the international 100,000.
Examples
- 5,250 = Five Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Rupees
- 1,25,050.75 = One Lakh Twenty-Five Thousand Fifty Rupees and Seventy-Five Paise
- 2,50,00,000 = Two Crore Fifty Lakh Rupees
Tips for writing cheques
- Start writing the amount in words close to the left edge so nothing can be added.
