Questions and answers

How do I write an amount in words in rupees?

Write the amount in words, then Rupees, then “and” and the paise in words if there are any, then Only. For example: One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty Rupees and Fifty Paise Only.

Is “Only” needed?

Banks usually expect it on cheques so nothing can be added after the amount. The tick box lets you leave it out.

Can I rely on this for cheques and legal documents?

It follows the standard way of writing numbers, but you are responsible for what you write. Always read the words back against the figures before you sign or submit anything.

Are my numbers saved or sent anywhere?
