Hindi Currency in Words

Spell out INR rupee amounts in Hindi with paise subunit

Free tool that spells Indian rupee amounts in Hindi prose (रुपये and पैसे) using the lakh and crore scale, formatted for cheques and legal documents. Runs entirely in your browser.

How are paise handled?

Paise are the 1/100 subunit of a rupee. The tool reads up to two decimal digits as paise and spells them after the rupee part, joined by और, for example एक हज़ार रुपये और पचहत्तर पैसे.

This tool writes Indian rupee amounts in Hindi words, in the exact prose form used on cheques and legal documents — with the rupee part and the paise subunit spelled separately and closed by मात्र.

How it works

The amount is split into a whole-rupee part and a fractional part. The rupee part is spelled with the Indian numbering system (लाख, करोड़ and beyond), reusing the same irregular 0–99 Hindi name table as a plain number-to-words converter. The fractional part is read as paise, the 1/100 subunit, padded or truncated to exactly two digits, and appended after और. The whole phrase ends with मात्र (“only”), the standard cheque closing.

Example

The amount 1250.75 is read as:

एक हज़ार दो सौ पचास रुपये और पचहत्तर पैसे मात्र

The rupee part uses the Indian scale and the 75 paise are spelled separately.

Notes

The ₹ sign, commas and spaces are stripped automatically, so both 1,250.75 and ₹1250.75 are accepted. Everything runs locally in your browser.
