Frequently asked questions

How do I write an amount in words on a cheque?

Write the rupees, then the paisa, and finish with “Only”. For example Rs. 1,25,000.50 is “One Lakh Twenty-Five Thousand Rupees and Fifty Paisa Only”. “Only” stops anyone adding words afterwards.

What are lakh, crore, arab and kharab?

1 lakh = 1,00,000 (one hundred thousand), 1 crore = 100 lakh (ten million), 1 arab = 100 crore (one billion) and 1 kharab = 100 arab (one hundred billion). Figures are grouped the same way: 1,25,00,000.

Should I use lakh/crore or million/billion?

Banks in Nepal and India usually expect lakh/crore on cheques (One Lakh, Ten Crore). For overseas clients or dollar invoices, million/billion is clearer: 10 lakh = One Million and 1 crore = Ten Million.

Why are Nepali numbers 1–99 hard to write?

In Nepali every number from 1 to 99 has its own word (for example उनन्तीस for 29, पैँतालीस for 45, उनान्सय for 99), rather than being built from tens and units. This tool picks the right word for you.
