How to write 13,000 on a cheque
Write "Rupees Thirteen thousand Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 13,000/- 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 13,000 reads "thirteen thousand". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "thirteen thousand". Both mean the same amount.
