How to write 18,500 on a cheque
Write "Rupees Eighteen thousand five hundred Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 18,500/- 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 18,500 reads "eighteen thousand five hundred". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "eighteen thousand five hundred". Both mean the same amount.
