FAQ

Common questions

When should I issue a Payment Receipt?

Issue one whenever you receive a payment – cash, cheque, NEFT, UPI or card. It is your acknowledgement and the buyer’s proof of payment. Especially important for cash transactions where there is no digital trail.

Is a Payment Receipt the same as an Invoice?

No. An Invoice creates the demand for payment (what’s owed). A Payment Receipt acknowledges payment received (what was paid). The receipt typically references the invoice number.

Do I need to charge GST on a receipt?

No – a receipt is not a taxable supply. GST is charged on the original Tax Invoice. The receipt just acknowledges the money received.

Can I issue a receipt for partial payment?

Yes. Write the partial amount received and note “Towards Invoice [INV/…]”. Issue a fresh receipt for the next instalment.

Can I edit the template in Google Docs?

Yes. Upload the .docx to Google Drive and open with Google Docs. All fields stay intact.

Does the template work in older Word versions?

Yes – the .docx format works in Microsoft Word 2010 and later. Also opens cleanly in WPS Office, LibreOffice Writer and Google Docs.

Are there other free templates available?

Yes – we offer Tax Invoice, Bill of Supply, Proforma Invoice, Quotation, Delivery Challan and more. Or generate online with our free online generator.
