Receipt for advance payment (for rental home)

I am planning to move to a new Home on monthly rental basis. We have mutually agreed for a monthly rent of Rs.10,000 and an advance payment of Rs.1,00,000. The Home owner has requested me to give the advance payment in 2 installments (60% on Feb 15th and the balance 40% on the day when I occupy the Home which is March 5th, 2012). The Home owner has assured to provide me a rental agreement after receiving the full payment from me.

What is the procedure to get a temporary receipt for the cash payment?

Can we prepare a receipt in a white paper with 1 Re. revenue stamp attached or this should be done in a non-judicial Stamp paper?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

I advise you to make payment by Cheques only and not by cash.  Even otherwise, you cannot make payment by cash for more than Rs.20,000/-.  One rupee revenue stamp receipt is enough.
