About Rent Receipt Generator

Rent Receipt Generator makes the receipts a payroll team asks for when you claim house rent allowance. You enter the rent, the months it covers, your name, the landlord's name and the address of the property, and every month comes out as its own receipt in one PDF, ready to print and sign.

Most people need this in December or January, when the employer's proof-of-investment window closes and a year of receipts is suddenly due at once. Receipts can be made month by month, by quarter, or for a whole year in one file. Each states who paid, who received, the amount in figures and in words, the period, the property address and how the rent was paid, with space for the landlord's signature.

Two figures decide what else belongs on the page, and they come from two different laws. The first is the landlord's PAN. CBDT Circular No. 8/2013 of 10 October 2013 says that where annual rent exceeds one lakh rupees it is mandatory to report the landlord's PAN to the employer, and that a landlord without a PAN must give a declaration instead. Exceeds, not reaches: a year at exactly one lakh is under the line. The declaration form has since changed twice, most recently to Form No. 124 in April 2026, and the income tax department's own site would not serve us that form to check the wording against, so the page says so rather than pretending otherwise.

The second is the revenue stamp, and it is not a tax rule at all. Article 53 of the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 charges one rupee of duty on a receipt above five thousand rupees. No income-tax rule asks for a stamp, and an HRA claim is not refused for want of one. Nor does the Act mention cash: stamping only cash receipts is a habit, kept up because rent sent by transfer is proved by the bank statement anyway. The square appears here when you tick cash, because that is when somebody will ask.

A receipt only proves a payment if the payment happened. This produces the document, not the arrangement behind it. To find out what the claim itself is worth, use the HRA Exemption Calculator.

Everything is made on your device. The names, the address and the amounts stay in your browser, and nothing is uploaded or stored.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a rent receipt for an HRA claim?

Enter the monthly rent, the first and last month you are claiming, your name, the landlord's name and the property address. Choose monthly, quarterly or the whole year, then download the PDF and have the landlord sign each receipt. Nothing is uploaded at any point.

What must a rent receipt contain?

The tenant's name, the landlord's name, the amount in figures and words, the period it covers, the property address, how the rent was paid and the landlord's signature. A receipt missing the period or the address is the one payroll teams send back, so each is filled in for you.

When does my landlord's PAN have to go on the receipt?

Once the rent for the financial year goes above one lakh rupees, the landlord's PAN must be reported with your HRA claim, and a landlord without one gives a declaration instead. At eighteen thousand a month you pass that in six months, so the page shows the running total and adds a PAN line.

Do I need a revenue stamp on a rent receipt?

Not for the tax claim. A one rupee stamp is stamp-duty law, charged on a receipt above five thousand rupees, and no income-tax rule makes it a condition of an HRA claim. Employers still ask for one on rent handed over in cash, so tick the cash box and the receipt leaves the square.

Are my name, address and rent uploaded anywhere?

No. The receipts are drawn in your browser on your own device, so the landlord's name, the property address and the amounts never leave your computer or phone. There is no account and nothing on our side to delete afterwards.

Rent receipt kaise banaye?

Rent receipt kaise banaye, yeh seedha hai: rent, mahine, apna naam, landlord ka naam aur ghar ka pata daaliye, phir PDF download karke landlord se sign karwa lijiye. Whole year at once is one file, one page per month, and nothing is uploaded.
