What is the Number to Words Converter for PKR?
Pakistani bank cheques require the amount written out in words — “Rupees One Lakh Twenty-Five Thousand Only” — and getting the lakh-crore grouping right by hand is error-prone. This free converter turns any amount up to 999 kharab into correct cheque wording using the Pakistani numbering system (thousand, lakh, crore, arab, kharab), with paise support for decimal amounts, in the exact “Rupees … Only” format banks expect.

- Make sure the words and the figures (Rs. 125,075.50) match exactly — banks reject mismatches.
- Write paise as “and Paise Fifty Only”; for round amounts, just end with “Only”.
- When in doubt, write the amount twice on scrap paper first, then copy it onto the cheque.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Pakistani numbering system?
After thousand (1,000), Pakistan groups digits in twos: lakh (100,000), crore (10,000,000), arab (1,000,000,000) and kharab (100,000,000,000). So 10,00,000 is “ten lakh”, not “one million”.
How are paise written on a cheque?
As “and Paise” — for example, one thousand two hundred fifty rupees and seventy-five paise is written “Rupees One Thousand Two Hundred Fifty and Paise Seventy-Five Only”.
What is the maximum amount supported?
999 kharab, i.e. 99,999,999,999,999. That covers every realistic cheque; larger values are rejected with a clear message.
Why do banks require the amount in words?
Words are much harder to alter than figures, which protects against fraud. If words and figures disagree, the bank will reject the cheque.
Can I use this for other currencies?
The wording format suits PKR cheques. The number-to-words logic itself works for any amount, but other currencies may expect “Dollars” or “million/billion” grouping instead.
