In real estate transactions, the deposit slip for house collection is an important document for the buyer and seller to reach a preliminary intention. In order to ensure the legality and safety of the transaction, the writing of the deposit slip must be standardized and clear. The following is a detailed guide on deposit slips for house payment, combined with recent hot topics to provide you with practical reference.
1. Basic elements of deposit bars

A complete deposit slip should contain the following core contents to ensure legal validity:
| elements | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Title | Clarify the nature of the document | "House Payment Deposit Slip" or "Deposit Receipt" |
| Information from both parties | Full names and ID numbers of the buyer and seller | Seller: Zhang San (ID card: XXX); Buyer: Li Si (ID card: XXX) |

| Deposit amount | Uppercase + lowercase, indicate currency | RMB 10,000 (¥10,000.00) |
| Payment method | Cash/Transfer and Time | Bank transfer (XX, XX, 2023) |

2. Notes on recent hot topics
Based on the real estate dispute cases that have been hotly debated on the Internet in the past 10 days, here is a special reminder:
1.The legal effect of electronic deposits: With the popularity of digital payments, WeChat/Alipay transfers need to note "house purchase deposit" and keep complete chat records. In a recent case in Hangzhou, the determination of the nature of the deposit failed because the purpose was not specified.
2.Impact of purchase restriction policy: The relaxation of purchase restrictions in many places triggered a surge in transactions. A "house purchase qualification commitment clause" should be added to the deposit slip, such as: "The buyer promises to meet the local house purchase qualifications, otherwise the deposit will be fully refunded."
3.Special agreement on school district housing: The start of the school year is approaching, and if it involves housing in a school district, it must be written: "The seller guarantees that the place is not occupied, otherwise the deposit will be doubled."

4. Frequently Asked Questions
1.What is the difference between deposit and deposit?The deposit has the nature of a legal guarantee (can be returned in double if default occurs), and the deposit is only an advance payment. A recent court ruling in Shanghai emphasized that the word "deposit" must be clearly used.
2.Does it need to be notarized?Notarization is recommended for large deposits (more than 5% of the house price), especially when involving overseas buyers. Shenzhen recently required that agreements with a deposit of more than 5 million must be filed.
3.Can the intermediary version be used?It is necessary to check item by item to avoid hidden terms. The Beijing Chaoyang District Consumers Association reported multiple cases of infringement of intermediary format clauses this month.
5. Latest Policy Impact
According to the new regulations of the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development in August, you also need to pay attention to the deposit terms:
| Policy content | Deposit measures |
|---|---|
| Strengthened supervision of pre-sale funds | Added the clause "the seller promises to deposit pre-sale funds into the supervision account" |
| Second-hand house transfer promotion with mortgage | Indicate "The transaction is subject to the transfer policy with security, and the seller does not need to repay the loan in advance." |
| Tax subsidy policy | Clarify that "the increase in taxes and fees caused by policy changes will be borne by the __ party" |
It is recommended to consult a professional lawyer before signing and improve the terms in conjunction with the latest local policies. Keep the original deposit slip and payment voucher.
