     Banking is a field under accountancy where English has a definite style but Hindi forms are still following diverse styles:
 
  1. ru. 200.00
  2.

rupay 200

  3. 200 rupay
  4.

200 ru

  5.

rupay 200/-

 
     It is high time that only a few definite systems should be allowed according to the nature of Hindi -
 
  i)

200 rupay

  ii)

ru. 200.00

     A few expressions also shows more than one forms
 
Amount in figures - aankRõ m? raaSi
 
Rupees (in words) - rupay akSarõ m?
  Rupay (Sabdõ m?)
