Writing amounts on cheques
- Start writing close to the left edge of the line, so nothing can be added in front.
- End with Only and draw a line through any empty space after it.
- The amount in words must match the figures. Banks can return a cheque when the two differ.
Amount in words on a GST invoice
GST rules don’t strictly require the total in words, but almost every Indian invoice shows it, and many buyers expect it. The free invoice generator adds it automatically, using the same converter.
