There are 10,000 lakh in 1 billion (short scale, 109).

In India and other parts of southern Asian, an older numbering system is still in some use. The value one lakh (lac) equals 100,000, one crore equals 10 million (US), and one arab equals 1 billion (US). This is because the numbers over 1000 are increased by orders of 100 rather than 1000 (short scale) or a million (long scale).
