E-invoicing: Businesses whose aggregate turnover is above ₹5 crore in any financial year since 2017-18 must issue B2B invoices as e-invoices registered on the Invoice Registration Portal (IRP), which returns an IRN and a signed QR code. Below that threshold, a tax invoice with the rule 46 details is valid.

What a payment receipt should show

A receipt is proof of payment, not a tax invoice. Keep it clear:

  • Receipt number and date
  • Who paid and who received
  • Amount in figures and in words
  • Payment mode and UTR, UPI or cheque reference
  • The invoice it settles, or the purpose
  • Signature of the person receiving

Advances and receipt vouchers

If you receive an advance for services before issuing the invoice, GST rules call for a receipt voucher with GST details. A simple payment receipt is fine for settling an invoice you have already issued.

Rent receipts

Tenants claiming house rent allowance usually need monthly or yearly rent receipts with the landlord's name, the rent amount and period, and the landlord's PAN when rent passes the limit set by the income tax rules. Add those details in the notes.
