Lodgement

A lodgement is often an amount lodged to a bank account or "paid in" to a bank account via a "lodgement slip" or "paying in" slip. This should sensibly be the expression used globally in the english speaking world, however currently it is limited to Ireland and few other areas, although it is rapidly becoming standard in the U.K.

The term lodgement is also commonly used in India for proofs of tax deduction.
