A flat sale commission worked out
Kapoor Realty closed the sale of Flat B-1203 for Mr. Vikram Sethi. The buyer paid ₹20,000 as advance commission at the token stage.
| Item | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|
| Brokerage, 1% of ₹82,00,000 | 82,000 |
| Agreement drafting and registration help | 5,000 |
| Site visits arranged, 4 | 2,000 |
| Subtotal | 89,000 |
| Less advance commission | -20,000 |
| Balance due | 69,000 |
Add GST on the commission if you are registered, at the rate that applies. Leave the line at zero if you are not.
Token, registration and the WhatsApp follow-up
Property brokerage usually moves in two steps. A part at the token and the rest on registration.
| Step | When | Amount (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Advance commission | Token amount paid to the seller | 20,000 |
| Balance | Sale deed registered | 69,000 |
Send the invoice on the evening of the registration.
«Good evening Mr. Sethi, congratulations on the registration of Flat B-1203. The brokerage invoice from Kapoor Realty is attached. After the ₹20,000 advance, ₹69,000 is due by 13 November. Account and UPI details are on the invoice.»
Buyers celebrate and forget. A short reminder two days before the due date keeps the deal closed on good terms.
Rent brokerage receipt
Tenants usually pay rent brokerage on the day they sign the lease. The broker then hands over a receipt.
Fill in the invoice with one line for the rent brokerage. Mark it «Paid» with the date and payment mode.
The Word file works as a rent brokerage receipt format. Print it or send the image in the chat.
Sales agents billing a principal
A sales agent bills the manufacturer each month on orders booked. Most agreements pay only on orders the buyer has paid.
| Order | Buyer | Order value (₹) | Paid by buyer | Commission 5% (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SO-4410 | Gupta Traders | 2,40,000 | Yes | 12,000 |
| SO-4417 | Singh Agencies | 1,60,000 | Yes | 8,000 |
| SO-4425 | Mehta Stores | 2,40,000 | Yes | 12,000 |
| SO-4431 | Rana Retail | 90,000 | Not yet | Next month |
Attach this statement to the commission bill. The principal checks it against its own ledger.
Splitting a commission with another broker
Two brokers often share one deal. One brings the buyer and the other brings the seller.
Each broker bills its own client for its own share. Write the shared deal reference on both invoices.
| Broker | Bills | Share (₹) |
|---|---|---|
| Kapoor Realty | Buyer, Mr. Sethi | 82,000 |
| Seller's broker | Seller | As agreed with the seller |
The buyer never pays the seller's broker through your invoice. Keep the two bills apart.
Sub-agents who bring a buyer get paid by the main broker. Bill that share with its own invoice to the main broker. Quote the client's deal reference so both books match.
Agree the split in writing before the site visit. A message in the chat is enough to settle a later question.
Commission bills that get disputed
- No deal value on the line. The client cannot check the percentage.
- Billing before the agreed event. Commission falls due on registration, not on a site visit.
- Advance commission not deducted. The client pays the balance and disputes the rest.
- Buyer and seller shares on one bill. Each party gets its own invoice.
- Commission on orders the buyer never paid. Agree in writing whether those count.
- No deal reference. A broker with ten open deals loses track of which one paid.

Frequently asked questions
When is commission due?
On the event written in the agreement. For a property sale that is usually the registration of the deed.
Is a brokerage receipt the same as a commission invoice?
No. The invoice asks for the commission. The receipt confirms it was paid.
Should the percentage appear on the invoice?
Yes. Write the deal value and the rate on the line. The client checks the amount without asking.
Can I bill a fixed fee instead of a percentage?
Yes. Write «flat fee» as the basis. Rent brokerage is often one month of rent.
Can I send the commission invoice on WhatsApp?
Yes. Download the image and send it in the chat. Keep the PDF for the client's accountant.
Is this a government e-invoice?
No. It is a commercial invoice for your billing and collections. Government e-invoicing systems are issued in their own portal.
Your recurring collections on autopilot
Makatea sends the reminders over WhatsApp and email, records every payment and tells you who to follow up with first.
