Amount in words
रू. पच्चीस हजार पाँच सय पचहत्तर रुपैयाँ मात्र
Follows the standard South-Asian lakh/crore scale (हजार, लाख, करोड, अर्ब, खर्ब…) and the "मात्र" cheque convention. Runs entirely in your browser, always double-check a cheque or legal document before signing.
From a rupee figure to cheque-ready words
The amount is split into rupees and paisa, then the rupee part is broken into South Asian scale groups (हजार, लाख, करोड, अर्ब, खर्ब…) before each group is rendered in Devanagari.
Split rupees and paisa
Anything after the decimal point is treated as paisa (0–99); the whole-number part is the rupee amount.
South Asian grouping
The rupee amount is grouped 2-2-3 (not 3-3-3): the last three digits, then pairs for हजार, लाख, करोड, अर्ब, खर्ब.
Devanagari words + मात्र
Each group is turned into Devanagari words from a 0–99 lookup table, joined and wrapped as रू. … रुपैयाँ … पैसा मात्र.

Why does the amount end with "मात्र"?+
"मात्र" means "only" and is the standard closing word on a Nepali cheque or official amount-in-words (akshyarupi) line. Writing the figure out in words and ending it with मात्र stops anyone from adding extra digits or words after your amount and inflating it, the same purpose "only" serves at the end of an English cheque.
Why lakh and crore instead of million and billion?+
Nepal, like India and Bangladesh, groups large numbers in the South Asian (2-2-3) system: the last three digits form one group, then every group above that is two digits, hajar (thousand), lakh (1,00,000), crore (1,00,00,000), arba, kharba and so on. This is how banks, cheques and government documents in Nepal write and read amounts, so it is the convention this converter follows.
How is paisa handled?+
Enter paisa as a decimal, for example 12550.75 for Rs 12,550 and 75 paisa. The converter treats the two digits after the decimal point as paisa (out of 100) and appends them in words as "… पैसा" before the closing मात्र, matching how a rupee-and-paisa amount is normally written out by hand.
Can I use this for a real bank cheque?+
It is a fast reference for the wording and grouping, but always compare the generated words against the numeric amount before you sign a cheque or an official document, and follow your bank's own formatting habits (spacing, whether to write रू. or Rs., and so on). This tool cannot verify your account balance or the recipient's details.
Does the conversion run on a server?+
No. Everything, splitting the amount into rupees and paisa and building the Devanagari words, runs in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored.
