How to write 55,000 on a cheque
Write "Rupees Fifty-five thousand Only" on the amount line and draw a line after it; write 55,000/- 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 55,000 reads "fifty-five thousand". The international system groups in thousands, millions and billions, giving "fifty-five thousand". Both mean the same amount.
