Indian vs international numbering

India groups digits as thousand, lakh and crore — 1,00,00,000 is one crore. The international system groups them in threes as thousand, million and billion — the same number is 10,000,000, or ten million.

  • 1 lakh = 1,00,000 = 100 thousand
  • 10 lakh = 10,00,000 = 1 million
  • 1 crore = 1,00,00,000 = 10 million
  • 100 crore = 1 billion

Frequently asked questions

Write the currency, the amount in words using lakh and crore, the paise if any, and end with “Only” — for example, ₹1,25,000.50 is “Indian Rupees One Lakh Twenty-Five Thousand and Paise Fifty Only”. Ending with “Only” stops anyone from adding words afterwards.

One Lakh Fifty Thousand. In the international system the same number, 150,000, is One Hundred Fifty Thousand.

10 lakh is 1 million, and 1 crore is 10 million (100 lakh). So ₹2.5 crore is ₹25 million.

Rule 46 of the CGST Rules does not list it among the mandatory fields, but it is standard practice on Indian invoices, and banks require it on cheques. Writing the total in words helps prevent the figure from being altered.

Add them after the rupees with “and”: ₹10,000.75 is “Rupees Ten Thousand and Seventy-Five Paise Only”, or on an invoice, “Indian Rupees Ten Thousand and Paise Seventy-Five Only”.
