How to Write Amount in Words on a Cheque
Indian banks expect a specific format. Get it wrong and your cheque can be rejected or, worse, altered.
- 1
Always start with "Rupees"
Every Indian cheque begins with the word "Rupees" before the amount. This is the standard format Indian banks recognise.
- 2
Spell out the full amount
Use the Indian numbering system — lakh and crore, not millions or billions. Write "Fifteen Lakh", not "One Million Five Hundred Thousand".
- 3
End with "Only"
Always close with the word "Only" so no one can add extra digits or words after the amount.
- 4
Draw a line after "Only"
Draw a continuous line through any unused space on the words line. This stops fraudsters from inserting extra words.
- 5
Add paise correctly
If the amount has paise, write "Rupees Five Hundred and Fifty Paise Only" — separate the rupees and paise with "and".
