How to write 2 lakhs in cheque

To write 2 lakhs on a cheque, you must fill in the amount in both words and figures correctly:
  • Words: In the space provided after "Rupees," write "Two Lakh Only." Adding the word "Only" at the end is a crucial security measure to prevent unauthorized text from being added.
  • Figures: In the box for the amount, write "2,00,000/-." Using the slash and dash (/-) after the digits ensures no additional numbers can be inserted.
  • Placement: Always start writing from the extreme left to avoid leaving gaps that could be misused.
