The driver and payer should agree on one final amount
At the end of the month, the useful number is not just the driver's basic salary. Trip allowances may increase it, while an advance or another deduction may reduce it.
This receipt brings those amounts together and shows what was finally paid. Add the payer, the driver, and the salary month, then check the net pay before anyone signs it.
Salary month, payment date, and receipt date have separate meanings
The Month and Year tell the driver which salary period was paid. Payment Date records when the money was handed over or transferred. Receipt Date records when the acknowledgement was issued.
For example, June 2026 salary may be paid on 2 July and acknowledged with a receipt dated 3 July. Keeping all three details correct prevents the payment from being attached to the wrong month.
Build the receipt from salary to net pay

- Identify the receipt: Use the generated receipt number or enter your own, then select the receipt date, salary month, and year.
- Add the driver: Enter the driver name and any useful driver ID, licence, vehicle, or department details.
- Enter the basic salary: Add the fixed salary amount for the selected month.
- Add the allowances: Enter only the trip, fuel, maintenance, or other allowances included in this payment.
- Add the deductions: Enter PF, ESI, professional tax, advance or loan recovery, and other deductions only when they apply.
- Record the payment: Choose Cash, UPI, Bank Transfer, or Cheque, then add the payment date and reference.
- Check the acknowledgement: Review gross earnings, deductions, net pay, and signature details before generating the PDF.
Allowances raise the pay; deductions bring it down
Basic Salary is the fixed salary for the month. Trip / Travel, Fuel, Maintenance, and Other Allowance are added to it to calculate gross earnings.
Advance / Loan belongs under deductions when money given earlier is being recovered from this month's salary. Enter PF, ESI, professional tax, or another deduction only when its amount has already been agreed or worked out.
There is no separate overtime box. An agreed overtime amount can go under Other Allowance with a short note. If you need attendance, hours, or a fuller payroll breakdown, make a salary slip instead.
Example: salary with allowances and an advance deduction
The driver's earnings for June are:
- Basic Salary: ₹18,000
- Trip / Travel Allowance: ₹1,200
- Fuel Allowance: ₹800
- Maintenance Allowance: ₹500
- Other Allowance: ₹500
- Gross earnings: ₹21,000
The deductions are:
- Advance / Loan: ₹2,000
- Other Deductions: ₹500
- Total deductions: ₹2,500
The receipt shows a net pay of ₹18,500. The payment reference can then identify the UPI, bank transfer, or cheque used to pay that amount.
Make the receipt only after payment
The net pay on this receipt is shown as fully received. There is no option for unpaid or partially paid salary, so prepare it only after the driver has received the amount written on it.
Receipt or full salary slip?
