Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Indian and International number systems?
The Indian system uses thousands, lakhs (100,000) and crores (10,000,000) — e.g. 1,50,00,000 is 'one crore fifty lakh'. The International system uses thousands, millions (1,000,000) and billions (1,000,000,000) — e.g. 15,000,000 is 'fifteen million'.
Why do I need ALL CAPS for cheques?
Indian bank cheques, demand drafts and pay orders require the amount in words to be written in capital letters to prevent fraudulent alterations. Toggle ALL CAPS to get output like 'ONE LAKH FIFTY THOUSAND ONLY'.
What is the maximum number this tool supports?
Up to 15 digits (999 trillion / 9,999 crore) — beyond that, JavaScript's integer precision becomes unreliable. For larger numbers, split them manually.
