How to write a Taka amount in words on a cheque

A bank cheque needs the amount written twice β€” in numerals and in words β€” and a mismatch can get it rejected. With "Taka mode" turned on, this tool writes it out in the standard cheque format β€” for example, ΰ§³125,000 becomes "Ek Lakh Pochish Hajar Taka Matra" in Bangla β€” the closing word "Matra" ("only") is added to prevent fraud, so no one can add extra digits afterward. If you enter paisa as a decimal (e.g. 2534.75), the paisa is spelled out too. You get both the local Lakh-Crore system in Bangla and the South Asian banking convention of Lakh-Crore in English.
