you can record it in court itself while payement
But the Judicial Magistrate said that there is no need to affix any stamp in those payment. I have paid my wife Rs. 8,000/- & Rs. 15,000/-. And, many times Rs. 5,000/-. I received the Court statement also where JM certified that all receipt copy are submitted in the court in individual dates. But I am afraid of some legal influence of my JM brother-in-law. What to do further?

since there is no dispute regarding payments of interim maintenance paid you have nothing to fear . in addition court has recorded fact that you have made regular payments .
no problem it is on judicial record that you have made the payments
When it has been mentioned in the statement that copies of receipts are produced in the court on relevant dates there is nothing you have to be afraid of as this statement by itself proves the fact that amount has been paid by you. Do not be scared of your brother-in-law. Even CJI's influence will not work on a court.
