💸 11.1 Fruit Purchase & Payment Logs

(फल ख़रीदने और भुगतान के रिकॉर्ड)

हर साइट पर फल खरीदी का सबसे बड़ा खर्च होता है। इसीलिए इसकी पारदर्शिता और सटीकता सबसे ज़रूरी है।

✅ What to Record:

• Seller का नाम / फॉर्मल ID / बैंक डिटेल्स

• फल का नाम + Variety

• Quantity (Kg/Crate/Bags)

• Rate (₹/kg)

• Total Value (₹)

• Mode of payment (Cash / Bank Transfer)

• Payment done? Yes/No

• Photo of seller with fruit lot (mandatory)

• GPS Location of transaction (optional but powerful)

📋 Pro Tip: Use a simple Google Form or pre-printed logbook with signature/thumbprint.

📷 Case Check: एक बार नकली supplier ने payment लिया और भाग गया → लेकिन फोटो और GPS proof ने police को tracing में मदद की।
