How to write 10,000 on a cheque
Write "Rupees Ten thousand Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 10,000/- in the box. Banks accept "and" or hyphens either way, but the words must match the figures exactly.
Why two spellings?
India groups digits in lakh (1,00,000) and crore (1,00,00,000) after the first thousand, so 10,000 reads "ten thousand". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "ten thousand". Both mean the same amount.
