On a cheque, 10000 is written as "Ten Thousand Only." On most cheques, the word "Rupees" is already mentioned, so there is no need to actually write "Rupees" yourself. If there is a paise amount as well, e.g. ₹10,000.59, you can write it as "Ten Thousand and Fifty Nine Paise Only". It is also common to write "Ten Thousand and Paise Fifty Nine Only", to avoid any confusion that 59 is the paise amount. When writing the numerical value, ensure that you always end with a "/-" symbol to avoid tampering. For the same reason, when writing the amount in words, make sure to always end with the word "Only".
