Pantrah matlab?

At about 8:00 pm I left NCST for Kendriya Vihar. It was drizzling lightly. I stopped an auto rickshaw, and when I got in the rickshaw driver uttered 'panthra rupaya'. I replied 'bees'. Again he repeated 'panthrah', 'bees' came my reply.

Then I started : dus, gyarah, barah, therah, chautah, panthrah.. ohhh panthrah? Then I asked 'panthrah matlab fifteen?', then came his reply: 'aap ne kya sotcha?'

Normally people charges twenty rupees for KV. When I heard 'panthrah', something different from 'bees', I presumed it is twenty five.
