  Comments:
The explicit reference "of payment" in the meaning is to distinguish 領収書 from 受領書, a kind of receipt issued to acknowledge a delivery.

In reference to previous discussions of レシート vs. 領収書: I think the context where those two can or should be distinguished is shrinking rapidly, since with electronic payments even レシート are personalised with debit/credit card numbers, and both レシート and 領収書 are nowadays usually printed (but either could be hand-written if no printer is available). And with self-check-in terminals in hotels, electronic ticket counters, and online commerce (both ordering of goods and booking of travel and hospitality services) we always get what in terms of information content resembles a 領収書 (not a レシート).
