Whether it is "one lakh", "two lakh" or "fifty lakh", the word is written in singular and not in plural. Please note that the word "lakh" takes the singular form but the word following "lakh" takes the plural form. You can say " two lakh rupees" or " five lakh tonnes" but not " two lakhs rupees" or "five lakhs tonnes". This is on the analogy of the words " million" and "billion". For example, we say " 5 million" or " 5 billion dollars" but not "5 millions" / " 5 billions dollars". However, in a table of figures, you can say " in lakhs of rupees" and not " in lakh of rupees".
