Most online "number to words" tools use the Western million/billion system. This tool uses the Indian Lakh/Crore system — the format you actually need for cheques, invoices, and GST returns.
Yes. Enter 1234.50 and you'll get "One Thousand Two Hundred Thirty-Four Rupees and Fifty Paise Only".
Up to 99 crore (₹99,99,99,99,999). For larger amounts, the tool uses "X crore" notation.
For these 5 languages, the output uses a standard tens + ones pattern for numbers 21-99 (e.g. "இருபது ஒன்று" for 21 in Tamil). Native compound forms like "இருபத்தி ஒன்று" may sometimes be more conventional. The output is fully understandable but if you want the most idiomatic native form for a cheque or legal document, please cross-check.
