Frequently asked questions

What is a payment receipt?

A payment receipt is written proof that money changed hands. It records who paid, who received the payment, the amount, the date and what the payment was for. The payer files it as evidence of the expense; the receiver keeps a copy against their own records.

What is the difference between an invoice and a receipt?

An invoice asks for payment; a receipt confirms payment happened. The invoice comes before the money and shows what is owed. The receipt comes after the money and acknowledges what was received. That is why a receipt has no due date — there is nothing left to pay.

What should a receipt include?

The receiver’s business name and details, the payer’s name, a unique receipt number, the payment date, what the payment covers, the amount received, and the payment method. For GST-registered businesses in India, tax detail on the underlying supply belongs on the tax invoice; the receipt references it.

Do I need to give a receipt for every payment?

Whenever a customer pays you directly — cash, UPI, bank transfer — a receipt is good practice and often expected, especially for cash where no bank record exists on paper. Many clients need one to claim the expense or to close a purchase order.

Can I number receipts separately from invoices?

You should. Receipts and invoices are different documents with different jobs, and mixing them in one series makes both audits harder. This tool keeps a separate receipt series (RCT-0001 onwards, customisable) alongside your invoice, estimate and proforma series.
