Usually, we write 17,000 on a cheque as "Seventeen 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. ₹17,000.59, you can write it as "Seventeen Thousand and Fifty Nine Paise Only". It is also common to write "Seventeen 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".
