Frequently asked questions
Do rent receipts need a revenue stamp?
A ₹1 revenue stamp is required only when rent is paid in cash and the amount exceeds ₹5,000. Payments made by bank transfer, UPI or cheque do not need a revenue stamp. If you pay cash, tick the revenue stamp option so the receipt has a box for the landlord to affix and sign across the stamp.
When is the landlord's PAN mandatory?
If your annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000 (about ₹8,334 per month), you must report the landlord's PAN to your employer to claim HRA exemption. If the landlord does not have a PAN, employers typically ask for a signed declaration from the landlord stating so.
When does my employer ask for rent receipts?
Employers collect rent receipts as HRA proof during the investment proof submission window, usually between December and February for the financial year ending in March. Submitting receipts on time ensures your HRA exemption is applied in payroll and excess TDS is not deducted.
Can rent receipts be computer generated?
Yes. There is no rule requiring handwritten receipts — a printed receipt is perfectly acceptable. What matters is that the details (tenant, landlord, address, amount, period) are accurate and the landlord signs each receipt. Print the PDF and get your landlord's signature on every receipt.
Do I need monthly or quarterly rent receipts?
Most employers accept one receipt per month, and many are fine with quarterly receipts covering three months each. Some accept a single annual receipt. Monthly receipts are the safest default — this tool generates all 12 for a financial year in one PDF.
