Frequently Asked Questions
Writing 'Only' at the end of the amount in words prevents unauthorized alterations or additions. For example, 'Five Thousand Rupees Only' prevents someone from adding 'and Five Hundred' to the cheque.
The Western International system groups digits by threes (Thousands, Millions, Billions, Trillions). The Indian system groups the first three digits from the right, and then proceeds in pairs of two (Thousands, Lakhs, Crores, Arabs). Thus, 1 Million equals 10 Lakh, and 10 Million equals 1 Crore.
In standard English grammar, compound numbers from 21 through 99 (except multiples of ten) must be hyphenated. Examples include Twenty-One, Thirty-Five, and Ninety-Nine.
Cheques state the major currency unit followed by the minor subunit (e.g., 'One Hundred Dollars and Fifty Cents' or 'Five Hundred Rupees and Fifty Paise Only'). If there are zero subunits, the legal standard is 'Dollars Only' or 'Rupees Only'.
