About this tool
On a cheque the amount in words must match the figures. The words go on the line below the payee, and writing “Only” after them stops anyone adding to the amount.
Start the words at the far left of the line and draw a line through any space that is left. Pick your currency above, and switch the words to Hindi or Bangla if your bank form uses them.
Examples
- 45250 in rupees is “Forty-Five Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Rupees Only”.
- 1500.75 in dollars is “One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars and Seventy-Five Cents Only”.
- 2000000 in taka is “Twenty Lakh Taka Only”.
Tips
- Leave no space before the first word or after the last one on the line.
- If the words and the figures differ, banks usually follow the words, so check both.
- Amounts are rounded to two decimal places, as on a cheque.
