What details must a rent receipt contain?

Tenant name, landlord name and address, rented property address, rent amount, period (month), payment date, payment mode, and the landlord's signature. A revenue stamp is required for cash payments above ₹5,000.

Is a revenue stamp mandatory on rent receipts?

Only when rent is paid in cash and the amount exceeds ₹5,000. For online/bank transfers a revenue stamp is not required, though many employers still prefer it.

Can I generate receipts for the whole year at once?

Yes — duplicate the receipt for each month, change the period, and download all of them as PDFs to submit for investment proof.

HRA rules you should know (FY 2025-26)

HRA exemption is the least of: actual HRA received; 50% of basic salary (metro) or 40% (non-metro); or actual rent paid minus 10% of basic salary. Receipts are your proof of the “actual rent paid” leg.

Landlord's PAN is mandatory when annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000. If your landlord has no PAN, a declaration in Form 60 is required instead.

⚠️ Use real rent details only. Fake rent receipts are income-tax fraud — the department cross-checks claims against your landlord's filings, and notices under section 133(6) for bogus HRA are increasingly common. Verify specifics with a CA. See our Income Tax Notice Library.
