You could try stripping the commas, casting to an integer, the dividing to get the number of Lakhs:

DecimalFormat df = new DecimalFormat("#.#####");
String input = "5,50,000";
double lakhs = Double.parseDouble(input.replaceAll(",", "")) / 100000;
String out = df.format(lakhs);
System.out.println(out);
