yes, it is ok to issue receipts for the refund.

your friend can also claim interest on the amount invested.

If the builder is not ready to pay the interest then your friend will have to send legal notice through Advocate to the builder .

if even after the legal notice the builder is not paying the interest then you can file civil , criminal and consumer cases against the builder.

Taking into consideration the above facts and your query therein.

You can issues the receipts every time against the payments accepted as refund.
We also strongly advice you to take the payment on the bank account till the full refund payment of 48L received.
