Signification
The initial payment for a large purchase.
Contexte culturel
In Indonesia, 'DP 0%' is a very popular but controversial marketing tactic for houses and motorcycles, often debated in politics and economics. In Malaysia, the term 'Uang Muka' is also understood, but 'Wang Muka' or 'Deposit' is more frequently used in official documents. Young Indonesians almost never say 'uang muka' in texts; they use 'DP'. If someone says 'Sudah di-DP', it means the deal is secured. In traditional 'Pasar', 'uang muka' is often called 'panjar'. It's a sign of 'amanah' (trust) between the buyer and seller.
Use 'DP' with friends
If you want to sound like a local in a mall, use 'DP'. 'Uang muka' sounds a bit like a textbook if you're just buying a phone.
Check the 'Hangus' policy
Always ask if the 'uang muka' is refundable. Use the word 'kembali' (return).

Receipts are vital
Always ask for a 'Kuitansi' (receipt) when paying 'uang muka'. It is your only legal proof.
