The Indian numbering system is used in India as well as in Bangladesh, Nepal and Pakistan. The terms lakh or lac ( 100,000 or 1, 00,000 in the Indian system ) and crore ( 10,000,000 or 1, 00, 00,000 in the Indian system ) are used in Indian English to express large numbers. For example, in India 150,000 rupees becomes 1.5 lakh rupees, written as ₹ 1, 50,000 or INR 1, 50,000, while 30,000,000 ( thirty million ) rupees becomes 3 crore rupees, written as ₹ 3, 00, 00,000 with commas at the thousand, lakh, and crore levels, and 1,000,000,000 ( one billion ) rupees ( one hundred crore rupees or one arab ارب ) is written ₹ 1, 00, 00, 00,000. Contents 1 Use of separators 2 Names of numbers 3 Vedic numbering systems 4 Usage in different languages 5 References Use of separators The Indian numbering system uses separators differently from the international norm ; in such numbers of at least one lakh ( one hundred thousand ), a comma divides every two rather than every three digits to the left of the last three, thus : Indian system Western system 5, 00,000 500,000 12, 12, 12,123 121,212,123 7, 00, 00, 00,000 7,000,000,000 This accords with the Indian numbering system, which has units for thousands, hundreds of thousands, tens of millions, etc. Names of numbers The table below follows the short scale usage of one billion being one thousand million. In India, Bangladesh and Pakistan, following former British usage, the long scale was used, with one billion equivalent to one million million.
