How to write 50,000 on a cheque
Write "Rupees Fifty thousand Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 50,000/- 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 50,000 reads "fifty thousand". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "fifty thousand". Both mean the same amount.
