How to write 15,000 on a cheque
Write "Rupees Fifteen thousand Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 15,000/- 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 15,000 reads "fifteen thousand". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "fifteen thousand". Both mean the same amount.
