How to write it
- Start from the unit itself. One lakh is 1,00,000 — a 1 followed by 5 zeros.
- 12.5 lakh means 12.5 × 1,00,000. Moving the decimal point 5 places to the right gives 1250000.
- Now punctuate it. Indian grouping puts a comma three digits from the right and then one every two digits, giving 12,50,000. Forms, bank fields and spreadsheets that reject commas want the plain form above.
