Dear Gunjan,
What I understand:
1) Challan means "Receipt for payment or delivery" or "Receipt of your payment with acknowledgment" or "Official receipt of payment."
2) Challan means the requisite form filled to pay cash, cheque, Demand draft in any Bank or any government office etc.

Actually challan is not a receipt, if you paid money on challan it is authorised payment, it goes to your PF account, if you takes loan on PF Accout it treated as repayment voucher.

Hi Gunjan,
For HR executives, challans are generally related to PF and ESI challans, where a particular format is printed/filled by furnishing the details of your PF/ESIC account numbers, amounts to be deposited for the month, etc.
On the other hand, general challans are those for penalties/fines issued by RTA/Traffic police, etc. It is a revenue-collecting term used by the aforementioned officials.
Another type of challan is typically used when selling products through invoices/bills. These challans only contain non-commercial descriptions of the products sold/invoiced and require the seller to obtain the receiver's signature.
I hope most of the definitions of challans have been clarified.
Thank you,
Tarun

Hi Manoj,
For HR challans, the terms required for PF and ESIC are essential. According to PF and ESIC laws, as well as some other laws, every organization has to fulfill statutory requirements such as monthly returns. Related to PF and ESIC, it involves monthly returns, Factory Act returns, minimum wages returns, and unpaid wages returns, among others.
To fill up these returns, the term used is "Challans." Returns are paid to the Assistant Commissioner's office of the particular region. This kind of question is expected from freshers!
I hope this helps clarify the process for you. Let me know if you need further assistance.

Challan is nothing but an instrument through which any payment or transaction is made. This will have detailed information about the mode of payment/transaction. It cannot be called a receipt and can only be acknowledged.
