Since you have landed on this blog, we’re assuming you are either looking for money-making tips on how to convert a million into a crore or, you’re simply looking for ways to convert currency values to the Indian numbering system — into lakh, crore and arab. For your convenience, we will address both scenarios in this piece.
Currency Value Conversion
Substantial confusion exists when it comes to different numbering systems. This can be particularly irksome for investors or buyers trying to convert currency values. How much is a crore? How much is 100 million? How much is 1,000,000? This can be really confusing for people, particularly overseas Pakistanis, who have to convert a foreign currency into Pakistani Rupees (PKR) and, at the same time, develop an understanding of what is meant by crore. Is crore a million or a billion?. To assist you with the process, here’s a table on how you can convert Pakistani currency values into International values, along with numerals.
As you can see in this infographic, one hundred thousand i.e. 100,000 = 1 lakh and one million i.e. 1,000,000 = 10 lakh. While ten million i.e. 10,000,000 = 1 crore. Now, when you need to convert English numbers into Urdu ones, you don’t really have to do the math in your head to find out that 20 million is 2 crore, or if 500,000 translates to five lakh (or five hundred thousand), and that 30 crore equals 300 million in words or 300,000,000 in numbers.
This can be better understood if we look at it from the perspective of prices of property, since that is where the problem generally arises: Take an example of a house that costs 2 crore and 55 lakh Pakistani Rupees (PKR). Translated into English, this will be PKR 25.5 million; and in numerals, it will be PKR 25,500,000.
Consider another plot that costs PKR 3,500,000. Convert it into the English numeral system, it will be 3.5 million, but when converted into Urdu, it will be PKR 35 lakh.
Finally, an apartment that costs PKR 5.7 million. When converted in Urdu, it will amount to PKR 57 lakh and when converted into numerals, it will be PKR 5,700,000.
Another helpful way to understand all this would be the placement of separators (usually a comma). In the International numbering system, the separators are placed after every three digits from the right, and so the currency value changes after a thousand. For example, a million is a thousand thousand; a billion is a thousand million, and a trillion is a thousand billion.
In the Urdu numbering system, the separators occur after every two digits. So, a thousand is hazar; a hundred hazar is a lakh; a hundred lakh a crore; and, a hundred crore is an arab. So, a million in Urdu is das lakh, a billion in Urdu is arab i.e. 1 billion is equal to 1 arab and 1 million Pakistani rupees is equals to 10 lakh.
