Parchi (Receipt / Invoice)·پرچی
Roman Urdu: Parchi / Parchee
The handwritten receipt traditionally issued by an adhati after every sale — recording the buyer, the lot, quantity, rate, deductions, and net payable. Today a digital parchi (printable + WhatsApp-shareable) replaces the paper one and eliminates illegible handwriting disputes. Pakka Khata's parchi is bilingual (Urdu + English side by side) and itemises arhat, bardana, kaat, tulai separately.
Example usage
Example: the munshi prepares the parchi (receipt / invoice) and shares it with the buyer or driver on WhatsApp.
