What a rent receipt for HRA should show

  • Tenant’s and landlord’s names
  • The rent amount, in figures and in words
  • The month the rent is for and the date it was received
  • The address of the rented property
  • How it was paid: cash, UPI, bank transfer or cheque
  • The landlord’s signature, and their PAN when the rent is over ₹1,00,000 a year
  • A revenue stamp for cash payments over ₹5,000

Each receipt this tool makes includes all of these. Print the PDF, have the landlord sign each receipt, and keep a copy.

HRA, rent receipts and the tax regimes

HRA exemption is available only under the old tax regime. If the new regime works out cheaper for you, rent receipts do not reduce your tax. Compare both with the income tax calculator, entering your HRA exemption as part of the old regime deductions.

SituationWhat employers usually ask for
Rent up to ₹3,000 a monthOften no receipts at all; check your employer's policy
Rent up to ₹1,00,000 a yearRent receipts or the rental agreement
Rent above ₹1,00,000 a yearReceipts plus the landlord's PAN

  • Leaving out the PAN above ₹1 lakh a year

    Employers can refuse the HRA exemption without it.

  • Paying rent to a parent without records

    Rent paid to a parent can be claimed if it is really paid (ideally by bank transfer) and the parent declares it as income.

  • Unsigned receipts

    A receipt needs the landlord's signature, and a revenue stamp when the rent was paid in cash above ₹5,000.

Frequently asked questions

Why do I need rent receipts?

Salaried employees who claim House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption under the old tax regime usually give their employer rent receipts as proof of the rent they paid.

When is the landlord's PAN needed?

When the rent you pay is more than ₹1,00,000 a year (about ₹8,333 a month). Your employer will ask for the landlord's PAN to allow the HRA exemption.

Do rent receipts need a revenue stamp?

A receipt for a cash payment above ₹5,000 should carry a revenue stamp signed across by the landlord. Rent paid by UPI, bank transfer or cheque does not need one.

Do I need receipts if I choose the new tax regime?

No. HRA exemption is not available in the new regime, so rent receipts are only needed if you choose the old regime.

Is anything stored?

No. The receipts are made in your browser; names, PAN and address are never uploaded or saved.
