IMHO, unless it is customary in your environment, it is not good
English to write out complicated numbers. I think what you want
would be a number format using the words "crore" and "lakh"
instead of the usual commas. Incidentally, even in rupees, how
do I arrange to get that impressive salary?

I noticed that Indian numerical notation has been discussed at
length previously (I believe Bernard Liegme had some useful
comments on it.) Try a search in Google Groups to get the comma
format. A small piece of news to me was that the Indian method
uses commas after odd powers of 10: 10^3, 10^5, 10^7 etc. (and
has names for each of these groups) instead of each three
digits as in the American/British system.

I know I have two other posts on this topic but I got interested
and did some Googling. There are some add-ins by "Suresh" that
you might find interesting:
