रसीद (rasiid)
noun
A borrowed word (from Persian/Arabic via Urdu) meaning 'receipt' -- the paper slip you get after paying for something. It also has a verb-phrase idiom sense involving getting hit or landed with something.
Sense
1
:
receipt (for payment)
noun, feminine
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: You will hear this constantly at Delhi shops, auto-rickshaw stands, and government offices -- रसीद लेना (rasiid lenaa, 'to take a receipt') is practical advice for anything from a courier drop-off to paying a bijli (bijlii) bill, since it is your only proof of payment if something goes wrong later.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes assume रसीद (rasiid) means 'bill' in the sense of an unpaid invoice -- it usually refers to the proof-of-payment slip you get *after* paying, not the demand for payment (that is बिल (bil)). 2) The verb typically paired with it is मिलना (milnaa) or देना (denaa)/लेना (lenaa), e.g. रसीद मिलना (rasiid milnaa, 'to get a receipt'), रसीद देना (rasiid denaa, 'to give a receipt').

Sense

:
getting hit/landed with (idiomatic)
noun, feminine Occurs almost exclusively in the fixed phrase रसीद करना (rasiid karnaa, 'to land a blow on someone') or रसीद होना (rasiid honaa, 'to get hit'), often with a body part as the object receiving the impact, e.g. मुँह पर रसीद करना (munh par rasiid karnaa, 'to land one on the face').
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: This is a playful extension of the 'receipt' meaning -- the idea being that you've 'delivered' the blow the way a shopkeeper delivers a receipt, so the person on the other end got exactly what was 'due' to them. You'll hear this in animated retellings of a scuffle, often for comic effect.
Common Mistakes: 1) This sense only shows up in the fixed collocation with करना (karnaa) or होना (honaa) -- रसीद (rasiid) alone never means 'a hit' outside that frame. 2) It is casual/informal register, common in spoken storytelling about a fight or scuffle, not something you'd use in writing.
