Why is it mandatory to write the amount of money in the bank cheque in both word and figure?
At 4.00 pm, when the bank was closed for the day, t he branch manager received a phone call from a woman in a very sweet, melodious voice. From the other end of the phone, the lascivious lady murmured like a fountain falling from a hill, "Sir, I desperately need 2 lakhs Rs money. I'll get the cheque in ten minutes, will you plz wait for me?"
The branch manager was overwhelmed by the woman's melodious voice. He ordered the cashier to keep the money ready. The cashier got angry but started getting ready to pay two lakh rupees with utter annoyance.
Meanwhile, a huge, fat, ugly-looking woman patted the door of the branch manager's office and said in a melodious voice, "Can I come in, sir?"
The manager had imagined the face of a beautiful woman for so long ... but when he saw this real woman, he became speechless for a while. But he regained his sense quickly and said, "Sorry, madam, the cash is closed today. Come tomorrow."
"You could have said that over the phone" - the woman walked out of the bank with a bang.
The cashier, who was ready to pay, said angrily to the manager, "If you don't pay, why are you holding me back?"
The manager said, "The international rule of the bank is - *if word and figure do not match, payment will be declined."*
The cashier fainted !!
