A payment receipt confirms that you've received money: who paid, how much, how and for what. It's proof for both sides, whether the payment was cash, UPI, cheque or bank transfer.
Include a receipt number, the date, your name or business, the payer's name, the amount in figures and words, the payment mode and reference, the purpose, and a signature. Cash receipts above ₹5,000 need a ₹1 revenue stamp.
