Importance of Accurate Amount in Words in Indian Law
Under Section 18 of the Negotiable Instruments Act, 1881, where the amount stated in words and figures differs in a cheque, bill of exchange, or promissory note, the amount stated in words shall be the amount undertaken or ordered to be paid. Precise drafting avoids ambiguity in legal notices and court filings.
