Plain digits — no commas
How to write it
- Start from the unit itself. One lakh crore is 10,00,00,00,00,000 — a 1 followed by 12 zeros.
- 1.5 lakh crore means 1.5 × 10,00,00,00,00,000. Moving the decimal point 12 places to the right gives 1500000000000.
- Now punctuate it. Indian grouping puts a comma three digits from the right and then one every two digits, giving 15,00,00,00,00,000. Forms, bank fields and spreadsheets that reject commas want the plain form above.
