Indian banking law and most international banking practice require an amount on a cheque or demand draft to appear both in numeric form and in words. The 'in-words' version prevents fraud — anyone trying to alter the numeric figure cannot also rewrite the words easily. The 'Only' suffix at the end further signals that the amount is final and complete.
Tax invoices, GST invoices, sale deeds, gift deeds, employment contracts, rent agreements, and most government forms also require an amount-in-words section. ITR (Income Tax Return) forms ask for total taxable income, tax payable, and refund amounts in both numeric and word form for verification.
International contracts and legal documents often spell out monetary values in words right after the numeric form using the standard format: '$1,000,000 (One Million Dollars)'.

Indian English uses lakh (1,00,000 = 10⁵) and crore (1,00,00,000 = 10⁷) naming conventions. The number 1,00,000 in Indian English is 'One Lakh', while in International English it becomes 'One Hundred Thousand'. The number 1,00,00,000 is 'One Crore' in Indian English and 'Ten Million' in International English.
For very large numbers, Indian financial reporting commonly uses 'lakh crore' (a lakh of crores = 10¹² = 1 trillion). So a government budget of ₹50 lakh crore is the same as ₹50 trillion in International English. The conversions between the two systems are exact — the difference is purely linguistic, not mathematical.
When writing for a global audience, prefer International English. For Indian regulators, banks, and tax authorities, use Indian English with lakh/crore. This converter generates both versions so you can pick the right one without manually translating.
