How to write 2,500 on a cheque
Write "Rupees Two thousand five hundred Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 2,500/- 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 2,500 reads "two thousand five hundred". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "two thousand five hundred". Both mean the same amount.
