Writing Numbers Out, Correctly, Twice
Where words are required
Numbers get written in words exactly where mistakes are most expensive:
| Document | Convention |
|---|---|
| Cheques | Amount in words controls if figures disagree |
| Legal contracts and affidavits | Words + figures, both, by convention |
| Bank drafts and pay orders | Words mandatory |
| Invoices (formal/government) | Total in words below the table |
| Academic writing | Style guides spell out small numbers (one to nine) |
The Pakistani twist: lakh and crore
The same amount has two correct spellings depending on system: 2,500,000 is “two million five hundred thousand” internationally but “twenty-five lakh” locally — and Pakistani cheques and legal documents conventionally use the lakh/crore system (1 lakh = 100 thousand; 1 crore = 10 million). Writing “Rupees two point five million” on a cheque invites a teller's frown; know which system the document expects and convert accordingly.
Numbers in other costumes
Different conversions for different jobs: Roman numerals for outlines and clock faces, the base converter for binary and hex, and amount-in-words usually rides along an invoice — the invoice generator is where it gets used.
