Frequently Asked Questions
QWhy do I need a rent receipt?
Salaried employees who receive House Rent Allowance (HRA) as part of their salary need rent receipts as proof of rent paid to claim HRA tax exemption when filing income tax returns or submitting proof to their employer.
QWhen is the landlord's PAN required on a rent receipt?
As per Indian Income Tax rules, if the total rent paid to a landlord in a financial year exceeds ₹1,00,000, the landlord's PAN must be furnished along with the rent receipts to claim HRA exemption.
QDo I need a revenue stamp on my rent receipt?
Yes — under the Indian Stamp Act, a revenue stamp (currently ₹1) must be affixed to a rent receipt when the payment is made in cash and the amount exceeds ₹5,000. This tool automatically shows a reminder box on receipts that meet this condition. No stamp is required for payments by cheque, bank transfer, UPI, or other non-cash modes.
QCan I generate receipts for multiple months at once?
Yes — switch to "Multiple Months" mode, set the starting month and how many receipts you need (e.g. 12 for a full financial year), and the tool generates one receipt per month, each as a separate page in the downloaded PDF or a separate printed page.
QIs my landlord and tenant data saved or uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything — including the PDF generation — happens locally in your browser using JavaScript. Nothing is sent to or stored on any server.
QIs this rent receipt legally valid?
This tool generates a standard rent receipt format with the details typically required for HRA claims. Requirements can vary, so always check with your employer's payroll/HR team or a tax advisor before relying on it for an official tax filing.
