What entry is required for receive an money order?

The entry would be:

Debit Bank
Credit Income

(A money order is just a way to get paid instead of cash. But the money from the money order still goes into your bank account. So for accounting it's basically the same as receiving a cash payment into your account.)

For sending a money order of 500 paying commission of 50 the entry would be :

Compound Entry

Mohan 500 ...... Dr.
Commission 50 ... Dr.
Cash 550 ....... Cr.

Simple entry

Mohan 500 ..... Dr.
Cash 500 ...... Cr.

Comission 50 .. Dr.
Cash 50 ....... Cr.

It is assumed that the money order excludes commission.
