How to write an amount in words for a cheque

Most cheques in Pakistan ask for the amount in both figures and words. Enter the number above with "Rupees and paisa" selected, and you'll get wording like this:

15,50,000Rupees Fifteen Lakh Fifty Thousand Only
1,00,00,000Rupees One Crore Only

Adding "Only" at the end stops anyone from adding extra words. Always check the amount carefully before signing.
