Introduction
Cheques, invoices and receipts often need an amount written in words. Urdu number names are irregular, so writing them by hand invites mistakes. This tool converts numbers into Urdu words using the South Asian system of hazaar, lakh, crore, arab and kharab.
How to Use
- Type a number such as 12500. Commas and Urdu digits are accepted.
- Tick روپے to add rupees, or صرف for a cheque-style ending.
- Read the result and press Copy.
Examples
- 12500 becomes بارہ ہزار پانچ سو.
- 100000 becomes ایک لاکھ.
- 1250.75 with روپے becomes ایک ہزار دو سو پچاس روپے اور پچھتر پیسے.
Tips
- Check the digits you typed before copying.
- For legal or banking documents, compare the result with your bank's requirements.
- Use the text cleaner if you need to standardise digits.
Limitations
Numbers up to 13 digits are supported. Some Urdu number words have more than one accepted spelling, so a reader or institution may prefer a slightly different form. Decimals without the rupee option are read digit by digit. Always verify important amounts.
