Quick answer
To write rupees in words: 50000 = "fifty thousand rupees", 50000.75 = "fifty thousand rupees and seventy-five paise". On cheques add "only": "Rupees fifty thousand and seventy-five paise only". The tool above does this instantly for PKR and INR.
Rupees and paise rules
- One rupee (singular) vs two rupees (plural) — the converter picks automatically.
- One paisa vs fifty paise — "paisas" is always wrong.
- One rupee = 100 paise. Write fractions as "and X paise", never as a decimal point in words.
- On cheques and legal papers in Pakistan/India, use the Indian system: "five lakh rupees", not "500,000 rupees".
