The short answer
Type the amount and the tool writes it as a cheque does. For example, 45,000.50 reads as Forty-Five Thousand Rupees and Fifty Paise Only. Copy it into the amount-in-words line and draw a line through any space left. Banks may differ a little in wording, so follow your bank's guide.
Digits only. Commas, spaces and ₹ are fine. Use a dot for paise.

Frequently asked questions
What if the words and the figures differ?
Banks usually treat the amount in words as correct, but a cheque with a mismatch may be returned. Check both before you sign.
Should I write the amount in capital letters?
Either is accepted. Choose the CAPITALS option in the tool if you prefer, because capitals are harder to alter.
