How to generate a payment receipt

  1. Enter the payer's name and the recipient's name, address, and GSTIN (if any). PAN is required for transactions above ₹2,00,000 (Rule 159, formerly 114B).
  2. Enter the receipt date, amount, and purpose. Choose full settlement, part-payment, or advance.
  3. Select the payment mode — UPI, NEFT/IMPS/RTGS, cheque, or cash. Enter the UTR or UPI transaction ID for digital payments. Revenue stamp box included for receipts above ₹5,000.
  4. Proofread the live on-page preview — amount, parties, date, and reference. Pay ₹5 for the final, ready-to-issue PDF. No signup.

Your receipt data is processed entirely in your browser — names, amounts, PAN, and UTR numbers never reach our servers. We do not store, log, or share your document data.

Cash receipts of ₹2,00,000 or more from a single person in a day are barred under Section 269ST of the Income Tax Act, 1961 — a 100% penalty applies under Section 271DA. Read the full explainer: Section 269ST — cash transaction limit explained

What's included in every receipt

Full payment, part-payment, and advance — explained

Choose the right receipt type for your transaction.

Full payment

Final settlement

The payer settles the entire amount due in one payment. The receipt records the total and closes the transaction.

Part-payment

Balance outstanding

The payer pays a portion of the total due. The receipt shows the total due, the amount paid now, and the signed balance remaining — keeping both parties aligned on what is still owed.

Advance payment

Pre-payment

Payment made before the goods or services are delivered. The receipt records the period or purpose covered, so both parties have a documentary anchor for future settlement.

This is general information, not legal or tax advice. Consult a qualified professional for your specific situation.

Are you a GST-registered business issuing a tax invoice?

A payment receipt is not a GST tax invoice. Registered sellers must issue a Pakka Bill (tax invoice) at the time of supply under Section 31 of the CGST Act.

FAQ

Payment receipt: common questions

When do I issue a payment receipt versus an invoice?
An invoice is the demand for payment; the payment receipt acknowledges that funds were received. Issue the payment receipt at the moment funds change hands. For a service or goods supply, issue an invoice (or pakka bill / GST tax invoice) first, then issue the payment receipt when payment lands. See our guide on invoice vs receipt vs quotation.
Does the receipt include UTR for digital payments?
Yes. UTR (for NEFT, IMPS, RTGS), UPI transaction ID, or cheque number with bank — whichever applies. The transaction reference is the unforgeable audit-trail element. For an HRA verification flow, the UTR on the payment receipt should match the entry in the employee's bank statement.
Do I need a revenue stamp on a receipt above Rs. 5,000?
Revenue stamp box included for receipts above ₹5,000.
Can the payment receipt cover an advance or part-payment?
Yes. The form supports advance payment, part-payment against a larger invoice, and final settlement. For advances, mark the period as "advance for [dates]"; for part-payments, indicate the amount being paid against the parent invoice number.
Is this accepted for audit and reconciliation?
Yes. Receipts include every field required for an audit trail: receipt number, date, payer name, recipient name and PAN, amount in figures and words, payment mode, transaction reference. CAs use these in client audit work; lenders use them for income and expense reconciliation; HR teams use them paired with rent receipts for HRA verification.

First-timer questions

  • Do I need PAN on a cash receipt?

    PAN is required for transactions above ₹2,00,000 (Rule 159, formerly 114B).

  • What about Section 269ST?

    No person may receive ≥ ₹2 lakh in cash from one person, in one transaction, or for one event/occasion. Our generator warns at that limit; the Section 269ST Checker tool covers all three prongs.

  • Is this acceptable for ITR documentation?

    Yes — the receipt format follows the standard documentary trail your AO expects. Keep the PDF + your bank trail (if non-cash) together.

  • Can I issue without a GSTIN?

    Yes. Misc receipt is for non-GST transactions (loan repayment, personal services, refund acknowledgement). For GST sales use the Pakka Bill / Bill of Supply generators.
