Frequently asked questions

Why "Rupees One Only" and not "Rupee One"?

Because that is the fixed form on cheques. The word Rupees comes first whatever the amount.

Does it use hyphens, as in Twenty-Five?

Yes, as written English does. Banks accept the amount with or without them.

Can I paste an amount with ₹ or /-?

Yes. The rupee sign, Rs., commas, spaces and a trailing /- are ignored.

Is anything I type uploaded?

No. The tool runs in your browser and nothing you type leaves your computer.

Indian, not international

Most number-to-words tools count in thousands and millions, so 1,25,000 comes out as "one hundred twenty-five thousand". Indian cheques, invoices and government forms count in lakh and crore, and so does this tool: Rupees One Lakh Twenty-Five Thousand Only.

Amounts above 99 crore stay in crore, as Indian banks print them: 125,00,00,000 is One Hundred Twenty-Five Crore.

Paise and plain numbers

With the rupees box ticked, paise follow "and": 1250.50 is Rupees One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and Fifty Paise Only. Clear the box for a plain number, where digits after the point are read one by one, as in "Three Point One Four".
