Taka in words (cheque amount)
Type a taka amount and get the cheque line in Bangla and English — lakh and crore, not million. Paisa is two decimal places. This is a writing helper. It is not a bank form, not a legal instrument, and not a guarantee that a branch will accept the wording.

What this tool writes
Cheques, money receipts and many affidavits in Bangladesh ask for the amount in figures and again in words. The words line usually follows Indian numbering: thousand, then lakh, then crore. Western “million” wording is easy to misread at a bank counter.
The converter above keeps that local habit. You type digits (English or Bangla). It returns a Bangla line ending in মাত্র, an English line ending in Only, and the same number with Indian commas.
Typical cheque path
- Amount in figures
- Same amount in words
- Date, payee, signature at the bank
Lakh and crore, not million
Indian grouping used here
| Figures | Words (English) | Words (Bangla) |
|---|---|---|
| 1,000 | One Thousand | এক হাজার |
| 1,00,000 | One Lakh | এক লাখ |
| 10,00,000 | Ten Lakh | দশ লাখ |
| 1,00,00,000 | One Crore | এক কোটি |
Commas in the input are stripped, so 1,000,000 and 10,00,000 both mean ten lakh.
Paisa
Words use two decimal places. 50.25 → fifty taka and twenty-five paisa.
- A third decimal is rounded to the nearest paisa.
- Zero paisa is omitted on the words line so the cheque does not say “and Zero Paisa”.
How to use it
- Enter the amount you will write on paper — Bangla digits, English digits and commas are all accepted. Do not include words in the box.
- Read both language lines — Copy the Bangla line, the English line, or the digit line. Match the language the form actually asks for.
- Write it on the cheque yourself — Banks look at handwriting, payee name and signature. A website cannot sign or validate a cheque.
Worked example
A money receipt for ৳1,25,000.50 (one lakh twenty-five thousand taka and fifty paisa).
- Type 125000.50 or ১,২৫,০০০.৫০.
- Bangla line: এক লাখ পঁচিশ হাজার টাকা পঞ্চাশ পয়সা মাত্র.
- English line: Taka One Lakh Twenty Five Thousand and Fifty Paisa Only.
Figures and words should describe the same number. If they do not, fix the digits first.
What this will not do
- It does not print, clear or guarantee a cheque. That is the bank’s job.
- It does not convert million/billion wording into a US-style check. This page is for Bangladesh grouping.
- It does not fill salary or VAT — those are separate calculators. Use this only for the words line.
- It does not store the amount on a server. If the tab closes, copy first.
- For drafting Bangla payee names on an English keyboard, the phonetic typer is the neighbouring tool.
- Leave no gap between the words and মাত্র / Only on paper — that is a common cheque-alteration precaution, not something this page can enforce.
FAQ
Does a bank have to accept this wording?
No. Wording conventions vary slightly by branch and by whether the cheque is in Bangla or English. This tool follows common Bangladesh cheque practice (lakh, crore, মাত্র / Only). The branch still decides.
Why not “one million”?
Bangladeshi cheques and money receipts almost always use lakh (1,00,000) and crore (1,00,00,000). Million is a Western grouping and is easy to misread next to Indian commas.
Can I paste Bangla digits?
Yes. ৫০০০০ and 50,000 and 50000 are treated as the same integer.
How is paisa handled?
The decimal part is rounded to two digits and spoken as paisa, not as “point two five”. 1.5 is one taka and fifty paisa.
Is the amount uploaded?
No. Conversion runs in your browser. Copy what you need before you close the tab.
