The South Asian Numbering System
Nepal, like India, follows the Vedic numbering system which differs significantly from the International system used in the West. This can often cause confusion when dealing with large sums like budgets or project costs.
| Number | Nepali System | International System |
|---|---|---|
| 1,00,000 | 1 Lakh | 100 Thousand |
| 10,00,000 | 10 Lakh | 1 Million |
| 1,00,00,000 | 1 Crore | 10 Million |
| 1,00,00,00,000 | 1 Arab | 1 Billion |
| 1,00,00,00,00,000 | 1 Kharab | 100 Billion |
Cheque Writing Rules in Nepal
When writing a cheque in Nepal, adhering to standard practices minimizes the risk of rejection or fraud:
- No Space: Don't look excessive space between words.
- Suffix: Always end with " /- " in figures and " मात्र " (Only) in words.
- Language: You can use either English or Nepali, but do not mix scripts.
- Overwriting: Any correction must be signed, but for amounts, banks often reject corrected cheques.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Many people mistake 1 Million for 1 Lakh. Remember, 1 Million has 6 zeros (1,000,000) while 1 Lakh has 5 zeros (1,00,000). This simple zero difference changes the value by 10 times!
