I'm not sure if you're aware that lakhs (and crore) are not used outside of India... for an international audience it's clearer to write something like "2,700,000 INR" or "2.7 million rupees".

Please be assured that I am aware of this and hence the conversion I've mentioned in 3rd paragraph last line.

If someone reads the comment he/she must have seen that, I have reasons to believe you didn't either(kidding :P). So, they would know what is one lakh INR in dollars(roughly). But yes, they would now know the count in one go. My bad.

AAMOF I should have rather mentioned the $ amount which I can't now.
