Frequently asked questions
How do you write 125000 in Pakistani words?
On the South Asian scale it is One Lakh Twenty Five Thousand. One lakh is 100,000.
Is this the line I should print on a cheque?
No. A cheque needs the rupee amount and the currency wording. Use Amount in Words for that. This page only spells the number.
What is one crore in digits?
One crore is 1,00,00,000 (10,000,000). It is not the same as one million. One million is 10 lakh.
Why do two systems give different words for one number?
They split the digits at different places. 125000 is one lakh and twenty-five thousand in Pakistan, and one hundred twenty-five thousand in the international system. The digits do not change.
