How to write 18,000 on a cheque
Write "Rupees Eighteen thousand Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 18,000/- 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 18,000 reads "eighteen thousand". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "eighteen thousand". Both mean the same amount.
