Open Rent ManagerWhat a valid rent receipt contains
Tenant's name, landlord's name, address of the rented house, the rent amount, the period it covers, the payment mode, the date and the landlord's signature. When the yearly rent is above ₹1,00,000, the landlord's PAN is also needed for the HRA claim.
Revenue stamp on rent receipts
A ₹1 revenue stamp, signed across by the landlord, is needed on a receipt for a cash payment above ₹5,000. Payments by UPI, bank transfer or cheque don't need one. The generator shows the stamp box automatically for cash receipts above ₹5,000.
How to claim HRA with rent receipts
Give the receipts (and the landlord's PAN if needed) to your employer when they ask for investment proofs, usually between January and March. If you missed it, you can still claim HRA in the old tax regime while filing your return; keep the receipts and rent agreement safe.
Frequently asked questions
Is this rent receipt generator free?
Yes. Make as many receipts as you need, with no sign-up and no watermark. Everything runs in your browser; nothing is uploaded.
Do I need one receipt per month?
Most employers accept monthly receipts or one receipt per quarter. Pick the months and you get one receipt for each month, ready to print or save as PDF.
Is the landlord's PAN mandatory?
Only when the rent paid in the year is above ₹1,00,000. If the landlord has no PAN, a declaration from the landlord is usually asked for instead.
Can HRA be claimed in the new tax regime?
No. HRA exemption is available only in the old tax regime. Use our income tax calculator to compare both regimes.
