Citibank — Cheque returned

Address:Mumbai City, Maharashtra, 411013
Website:www.citibank.co.in

I have given cheque to citibank for the credit card payment. The details of the cheque are as below:

Bank Name: Janata Sahakari Bank
Cheque Number: 485241
Amount: 49611/-
Amount in Words: Four Nine Six One One Only

Citibank has returned the cheque saying the Amount in Words and Figures do not match.

Is this words format not acceptable by RBI rules?
I have been issuing cheques using the same format and never faced any problems prior to this incident.

I could not find any material on net saying that this format is not acceptable.

Please look into the issue.

I still not have heard any official communication RBI on the mentioned issue. Is this format allowed or not allowed? If this format is not allowed, can you provide me some official guidelines or rules mentioning the same?
