Writing the amount on a cheque
Write the amount in words on the line after “Rupees”, starting as far left as possible, and end with Only so nothing can be added afterwards: for ₹25,500 write “Twenty Five Thousand Five Hundred Only”. With paise, write “… and Fifty Paise Only”. The amount in words must match the figures in the box; if they differ, banks usually return the cheque.
