How to write 1,25,000 on a cheque
Write "Rupees One lakh twenty-five thousand Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 1,25,000/- 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 1,25,000 reads "one lakh twenty-five thousand". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "one hundred and twenty-five thousand". Both mean the same amount.
