How to write an amount in words on a cheque
Banks compare the figure box with the amount in words. If they do not match, the words usually win, or the cheque is returned. So write the words exactly, close the line so nothing can be added, and keep the decimals clear:
- English: One thousand two hundred and fifty Saudi riyals and fifty halalas only.
- Arabic (tafqeet): فقط ألف ومئتان وخمسون ريال سعودي وخمسون هللة لا غير
- Urdu: صرف ایک ہزار دو سو پچاس سعودی ریال اور پچاس ہللہ
"Only" in English, "فقط ... لا غير" in Arabic and "मात्र" in Hindi all mean the same thing: the amount stops here. Untick the cheque-style box if you need the plain wording for a contract or a report.
Lakh and crore in Urdu and Hindi
Urdu and Hindi count in the South Asian system: 1,00,000 is one lakh (ایک لاکھ, एक लाख) and 1,00,00,000 is one crore (ایک کروڑ, एक करोड़). So 1,500,000 rupees is pandrah lakh (پندرہ لاکھ روپے), not "one million five hundred thousand". The tool writes Urdu and Hindi in this system, with arab and kharab above crore, and keeps million and billion for English.
Currencies with three decimals
The Kuwaiti dinar, Bahraini dinar and Omani rial have 1,000 fils or baisa, not 100. 12.345 KWD is twelve Kuwaiti dinars and three hundred and forty-five fils. The tool rounds to the right number of decimals for each currency, so 12.5 KWD becomes five hundred fils, not fifty.
Numbers in other digits
Below the words you also get the same number written in Arabic-Indic digits (١٢٥٠), the Eastern Arabic digits used in Urdu and Persian (۱۲۵۰), Devanagari (१२५०) and a few more. Useful when a form or a printed document must use the local digits.
Which languages are included
English, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, French, Spanish, German, Turkish, Indonesian, Persian, Russian, Portuguese, Italian, Dutch, Chinese (the financial characters used on cheques), Korean, Hebrew, Polish and Vietnamese. The currency names are written in the language for English, Arabic, Urdu, Hindi, French, Spanish, German, Turkish and Indonesian; in the other languages the currency code is shown next to the words.
Please read the result once before you sign. Grammar for money in some languages (Arabic especially) has more than one accepted form; the tool uses the short form common on Saudi and Gulf invoices.
