A receipt with the stamp space marked, for rent paid in cash
Estimates only, not financial advice. What you type stays on your device. Checked against sources on 23 Oct 2026.A revenue stamp is stamp law, not tax law: the Indian Stamp Act puts one rupee of duty on a receipt above five thousand rupees, and no income-tax rule makes a stamp a condition of an HRA claim. Payroll teams ask for one on cash receipts anyway, so this leaves the square for the landlord to sign across, and states the payment was made by transfer when it was.
Rates and rules read from the sources listed on this page (the earliest on 23 Oct 2026); they may have changed since.
Month is already selected under "One receipt per".
Fill in both names, the address, "Rent each month" and the first and last month.
Tick "Paid in cash"; each receipt above five thousand rupees then gets a square for the revenue stamp.
Check that the summary line reads "Revenue stamp space on each", then press "Make 12 receipts" and Download.
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.
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.
The rest of the article, and all 6 questions about Rent Receipt Generator, are on the Rent Receipt Generator page.
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.
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.
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.
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.
