Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between the Indian and international systems? expand_more
The Indian system groups large numbers into thousand, lakh, and crore. The international system uses thousand, million, and billion. The words differ for the same number above one lakh.
Can I use it for cheque amounts? expand_more
Yes. Enable rupee format to get a cheque-ready amount in words, ending in 'Only', with paise shown for decimal values.
Is there a maximum number? expand_more
Very large numbers are supported, though extremely large values beyond crore/billion scales may be approximate due to number precision in the browser.
