50 lakh in million

Same number, two systems

Same digits, different commas: the international system groups by thousands (1,000,000), while the Indian system groups by lakhs and crores (10,00,000) after the first thousand. That comma shift is what makes million ⇄ lakh conversions feel confusing — the numbers themselves line up exactly.
