Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Indian numbering system differ from the International system?

The Indian numbering system groups digits after the first thousand into pairs of two (Lakhs and Crores, e.g. 10,00,000 = 10 Lakh). The International system groups all digits into triplets of three (Thousands, Millions, Billions, e.g. 1,000,000 = 1 Million).

Why do bank cheques require the word 'Only' at the end?

Appending 'Only' at the end of the written words on a cheque prevents fraudulent addition of subsequent words or amounts by unauthorized third parties.
