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