How to use the rent receipt generator
Fill in the landlord and tenant names, the property address, the monthly rent and the period you are claiming for. Pick the starting month and how many months you need, then generate the monthly receipts. Use the Print / Save as PDF button to download them and submit the file to your employer as proof for your House Rent Allowance (HRA) claim.
Provide the landlord's PAN if your annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000 — it is mandatory for the employer to allow the HRA exemption in that case. For rent paid in cash above ₹5,000 per receipt, affix a ₹1 revenue stamp on the receipt.
HRA exemption is available only under the old tax regime. To estimate how much of your HRA is exempt, use the HRA Exemption Calculator.
Frequently asked questions
Why do I need rent receipts?
Rent receipts are the proof your employer needs to allow the House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption while computing TDS on your salary. Without them, the HRA portion of your salary can be taxed in full.
Is the landlord's PAN mandatory?
Yes, if your total rent for the year exceeds ₹1,00,000. In that case you must report the landlord's PAN to your employer; if the landlord has no PAN, a signed declaration is required instead.
Do I need a revenue stamp on the receipt?
A ₹1 revenue stamp is required on a rent receipt when the rent is paid in cash and the amount on that receipt exceeds ₹5,000. Payments made by cheque, bank transfer or UPI do not need a revenue stamp.
Can I claim HRA if I pay rent to my parents?
Yes. You can pay rent to a parent who owns the property and claim HRA, provided the payment is genuine and actually made, and the parent declares that rental income in their own return. Keep receipts and proof of the bank transfers.
How many rent receipts do I need to submit?
It depends on your employer's policy. Most ask for monthly or quarterly receipts covering the financial year, so generating a receipt for each month is the safest approach.
Is this generator free and private?
Yes. It is completely free and the receipts are generated entirely in your browser — nothing you enter is uploaded or stored on a server. Note that HRA exemption is available only under the old tax regime; use the HRA Exemption Calculator to estimate your exemption.
