Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need rent receipts to claim HRA exemption?
Yes. Your employer typically asks for rent receipts (often quarterly or annually) to allow HRA exemption in your salary TDS calculation. Keep the originals — some employers also want them at the time of income tax return filing verification.
When is the landlord's PAN mandatory on a rent receipt?
If your total annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000 (i.e., over ₹8,333/month), your employer will require the landlord's PAN. If the landlord doesn't have a PAN, they need to provide a signed Form 60 declaration instead.
Do I need a revenue stamp on rent receipts?
A ₹1 revenue stamp is legally required on a rent receipt when the payment is made in cash and exceeds ₹5,000 for that receipt. It isn't required for bank transfer, UPI, or cheque payments.
Is a rent receipt from this tool valid for tax filing?
This generates a standard-format rent receipt with all the fields tax authorities and employers typically expect. However, it works best alongside a real rental agreement — a rent receipt alone, especially for larger deductions, is stronger evidence when backed by an actual lease.
