In short
A tuition fee receipt shows the tutor or coaching centre's name and contact, a receipt number and date, the student's and parent's names, the course, class or batch, the months or term covered, the amount paid and the payment mode.

Frequently asked questions
Is GST charged on tuition fees?
Private coaching and tuition is generally taxable at 18% once the provider crosses the registration limit (₹20 lakh a year for services in most states). Education by recognised schools up to higher secondary is exempt.
Can parents claim tuition fees for tax?
The Section 80C deduction covers tuition fees paid to schools, colleges and universities in India, not private coaching. Ask your CA for your case.
Do I need to give a receipt for cash fees?
It's good practice for every payment, and parents often need it. Number receipts in a series so your records stay clean.
