For guidance only: always copy the amount yourself in pen and follow your bank's instructions.
Write “Rupees”, the amount in words, then “and Cents” with the cents if there are any, and finish with “Only”, for example: “Rupees Twelve Thousand Five Hundred and Cents Fifty Only”. In the figures box, write the amount with two decimals and close it with “/=” or stars, e.g. **12,500.50**, so nothing can be added.
The international system groups digits in thousands: 1,250,000 is “One Million Two Hundred and Fifty Thousand”. The South Asian system uses lakhs (100,000) and crores (10,000,000): 12,50,000 is “Twelve Lakh Fifty Thousand”. Both are correct; banks in Sri Lanka accept either.
Start writing right at the beginning of each line, draw a line through any empty space after the words and figures, write the amount box close to the symbol, and add “Only” at the end. Crossing the cheque with “A/C Payee Only” means it can only be paid into the payee's bank account.
Yes. Choose Sinhala to get the amount in rupees and cents in Sinhala words, for example රුපියල් දොළොස්දහස් පන්සියය.
