How to write 25,00,000 on a cheque
Write "Rupees Twenty-five lakh Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 25,00,000/- 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 25,00,000 reads "twenty-five lakh". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "two million five hundred thousand". Both mean the same amount.
