How to write 42,000 on a cheque
Write "Rupees Forty-two thousand Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 42,000/- 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 42,000 reads "forty-two thousand". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "forty-two thousand". Both mean the same amount.
