Write the taka in words followed by "Only", for example "One Lakh Twenty-five Thousand Taka Only" or "এক লক্ষ পঁচিশ হাজার টাকা মাত্র". Ending with "Only" (মাত্র) stops anyone adding words after it.

Lakh and crore, the system used in Bangladesh and India: 1,00,000 is one lakh and 1,00,00,000 is one crore. Banks in Bangladesh expect this form on cheques.
