A proper receipt in a minute, for any payment you receive

Whenever someone pays you, a receipt is your written "yes, I got it". Shops, tutors, landlords, contractors, clinics, housing societies, temples and NGOs all hand them out every day, and many still use a carbon receipt book from the stationery shop. This receipt maker gives you the same thing, neater: your name or logo on top, a receipt number, the date, the amount in figures and in Indian words (lakh and crore), how it was paid and what it was for, with a signature line.

It makes four kinds of receipt:

• Money / payment receipt: for a payment by UPI, bank transfer, cheque, card or cash, with an optional bill total so the balance due is shown.
• Cash receipt: worded for money received in cash.
• Advance receipt: for a booking amount or advance, with the total agreed amount and the balance still due.
• Donation receipt: for trusts, NGOs, temples, gurudwaras, mosques, churches and societies, with the donor's ID and, if your organisation is approved, its income-tax approval details.

You can also print a blank, pre-numbered receipt book: R-101, R-102, R-103 and onwards, two or three to a page, with lines to fill in by hand and an optional counterfoil (office stub) for your records.

How to use the receipt maker

1. Pick the receipt type and whether you want a filled receipt or a blank receipt book.
2. Received by. Enter your business, organisation or personal name. Address, phone, email and PAN or GSTIN are optional. Add a logo or a signature image if you like, or sign the printout by hand.
3. Payment details. Type who paid, the amount and the date. The amount in words appears as you type. Choose how it was paid and add the UPI reference, UTR or cheque number, then write what the payment was for.
4. Number and layout. Set the receipt number. Print one receipt, or an original and a duplicate with the same number. Choose 1, 2 or 3 receipts per A4 page, a design and a colour, and turn on the counterfoil or a revenue stamp box if you need them.
5. Download. Save a PDF, print straight from the browser, save the page as a PNG for WhatsApp or email, or download a Word or Excel file to edit later.

What a good receipt includes

If a cheque has not cleared yet, add a note such as "Subject to realisation of the cheque" at the bottom.

Donation receipts and the income-tax deduction

Donors often ask for an "80G receipt". From 1 April 2026 the Income-tax Act, 2025 applies, and the deduction for donations to approved charitable institutions and funds is in section 133 (section 80G of the old Act). Organisations get approved for it under section 354, and the approval is valid for a fixed number of tax years. A few rules from the Act are worth knowing before you print anything:

• The deduction is allowed only for donations of money, not goods (section 133(4)).
• A donation of more than ₹2,000 qualifies only if it is paid by a mode other than cash (section 133(5)).
• The donor's claim is allowed on the basis of the details the organisation reports to the Income Tax Department (section 133(6)).

That reporting happens after the year ends. The organisation files a statement of donations in Form No. 113, and the donor's certificate of donation in Form No. 114 is generated from it. The Income Tax Department's FAQ says Form No. 113 is to be filed before 31 May following the tax year. The receipt you hand over on the day is your own acknowledgement, not Form No. 114, but it helps to use the same details. Form No. 114 shows:

• the organisation's name, address, PAN and Unique Registration Number (URN), with the date of issue of the URN;
• the donor's name and address, and their PAN, or if they have no PAN, a passport number, voter ID (EPIC) or a tax identification number of the country they live in;
• the amount and the type of donation: corpus, voluntary contribution other than corpus, specific grant, CSR funds or others.

Turn on Show income-tax approval details only if your organisation has a valid approval, and copy the URN exactly from its order. Whether a donor can claim the deduction depends on the organisation's approval and its filings; this tool only formats the receipt and doesn't decide or promise any tax benefit.

Tips and common mistakes

• One number, one receipt. If you make a mistake, cancel that receipt and note it in your records rather than reusing the number.
• Keep a copy. Print an original and a duplicate, or use the counterfoil, so your accounts match what you gave out.
• Match the bank statement. For UPI and bank transfers, the reference number on the receipt makes it easy to match the entry later.
• Cash above ₹2,000 for donations. Ask donors who want the tax deduction to pay by UPI, cheque or bank transfer instead.
• GST businesses. If you are registered under GST, the GST law asks for a receipt voucher when you receive an advance (section 31 of the CGST Act), and a tax invoice for the supply itself. Those carry tax details that this receipt doesn't, so use our GST invoice generator or ask your accountant.
• Revenue stamp. Some people fix a revenue stamp on cash receipts above a certain amount under the stamp law that applies to them. The tool only adds an optional box for it; check the rule that applies in your case.
