How to use the Number to Words (Rupees)
Type an amount and get it written out in words instantly. Choose the Indian system (thousand, lakh, crore) used on Indian cheques and invoices, or the international system (thousand, million, billion).
Example
₹12,45,678.50 becomes Rupees Twelve Lakh Forty-Five Thousand Six Hundred Seventy-Eight and Fifty Paise Only.
Tip: on cheques, write the words close to the left edge and end with "Only" so nothing can be added.
