Start FreeFrequently Asked Questions
Is a payment receipt the same as a tax invoice in India?
No. A tax invoice records the supply and the GST charged on it. A payment receipt acknowledges money received against that supply. Where payment is taken in advance of supply, a receipt voucher is the prescribed document under GST, and it is not interchangeable with a tax invoice.
What should an Indian payment receipt include?
A unique receipt number and date, the payer, the amount in both words and figures, the invoice it settles, the mode of payment with its reference, and your GSTIN and PAN. Showing the balance remaining after the payment saves a follow-up query on part-settlements.
