Indian vs international number system
| Indian | Digits | International |
|---|
| 1 lakh | 1,00,000 | 100 thousand (0.1 million) |
| 10 lakh | 10,00,000 | 1 million |
| 1 crore | 1,00,00,000 | 10 million |
| 10 crore | 10,00,00,000 | 100 million |
| 100 crore (1 arab) | 1,00,00,00,000 | 1 billion |
| 1 lakh crore (1 kharab) | 1,00,00,00,00,000 | 1 trillion (0.1 of it is 10 kharab… see note) |
Note: 1 trillion = 1,000 billion = 1 lakh crore (10¹²). 1 kharab = 10¹¹ = 100 billion.

1 crore = 10 million, and 1 million = 0.1 crore. So:
Millions = Crore × 10To go back: Crore = Millions ÷ 10.

- 25 crore in millions: 25 × 10 = 250 million

Reading the Indian and international systems
Indian grouping puts a comma after the first three digits and then every two: 1,00,000 (one lakh), 10,00,000 (ten lakh = 1 million), 1,00,00,000 (one crore = 10 million), 100 crore = 1 billion = 1 arab. When a foreign salary or valuation is quoted in millions or billions, convert with the factor above and then apply the currency rate from our USD to INR converter.
