How to Write Numbers in Hindi Words for Cheques & Legal Documents
Cheque Writing Rules (बैंक चेक नियम)
- Always start writing without leaving empty space on the left to avoid fraudulent additions.
- Append "रुपये ... मात्र" (or "Rupees ... Only") at the end of the amount string.
- For decimal currency, write paise clearly: e.g., पचास पैसे मात्र.
- In the figures box, write "/-" immediately after the number (e.g.
₹ 8,57,859/-).
Court Affidavits & Stamp Registry
- Indian Registry offices require property transaction amounts in both figures and words.
- State stenos in UP, Bihar, MP, and Rajasthan use **KrutiDev 010** for offline deed formatting.

- Preserves standard spellings according to Central Hindi Directorate rules.
Indian Place-Value Scale System (भारतीय संख्या प्रणाली)
Unlike the Western million-billion system, Indian numbering groups digits in pairs after the first three hundred digits:
| Scale (पैमाना) | Hindi Word | KrutiDev 010 | Number of Zeros | Example Format |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hundred | सौ | lkS | 2 (10²) | 100 |
| Thousand | हजार | gtkj | 3 (10³) | 1,000 |
| Lakh | लाख | yk[k | 5 (10⁵) | 1,00,000 |
| Crore | करोड़ | djkSM+ | 7 (10⁷) | 1,00,00,000 |
| Arab | अरब | vjc | 9 (10⁹) | 1,00,00,00,000 |
| Kharab | खरब | [kjc | 11 (10¹¹) | 1,00,00,00,00,000 |
