- The breakdown uses the fewest notes possible, which is how ATMs and cashiers count.
- The ₹2000 denomination still appears in the breakdown — these notes are being withdrawn, so treat that line with care for real cash handling.
- For paise→rupees, divide by 100 mentally: 4560 paise = ₹45.60.
Common Problems & Solutions
Paise mode rounds to whole paise — enter 123456 (not 1234.56) when converting paise to rupees.
Rupees accepts two-decimal values like 99.95; anything beyond paise precision is rounded to the nearest paisa.
The last grid row shows remaining paise under ₹1 — it is change, not a missing note.
