Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need rent receipts to claim HRA?
Yes. Employers ask for rent receipts (usually one per month or per quarter) as proof before allowing the HRA exemption in your salary TDS. If you miss the employer deadline, you can still claim HRA when filing your income-tax return, but keep the receipts in case the department asks.
When is the landlord's PAN required on a rent receipt?
When the total rent you pay in a financial year exceeds ₹1,00,000 (that is, more than ₹8,333 per month), you must give your employer the landlord's PAN (CBDT Circular 08/2013). If the landlord has no PAN, attach a signed declaration along with Form 60. The generator warns you automatically when this applies.
Is a revenue stamp required on a rent receipt?
A ₹1 revenue stamp is required only when rent is paid in cash and the amount exceeds ₹5,000. The landlord should sign across the stamp. Payments by UPI, bank transfer or cheque do not need a stamp. Tick "Revenue stamp box" and the receipt prints a marked space for it.
What details must a valid rent receipt contain?
Tenant name, landlord name, rented property address, rent amount (in figures and words), the month or period it covers, date of payment, payment mode, landlord signature, and landlord PAN where applicable. Every receipt produced here includes all of these.
Can I generate receipts for the whole year at once?
Yes. Pick the from and to months — for example April 2025 to March 2026 — and you get 12 numbered receipts in one PDF. You can also generate a single month or any custom range.
Do I have to deduct TDS on rent?
If you pay more than ₹50,000 per month to a resident landlord, Section 194-IB requires you (even as a salaried individual) to deduct TDS at 2% once in the financial year, deposit it using Form 26QC and give the landlord Form 16C. The tool flags this when your rent crosses the threshold.
Can I claim HRA if I pay rent to my parents?
Yes, provided the arrangement is genuine: you actually transfer the rent, your parents own the house, and they declare the rent as income in their return. Generate receipts in their name and keep bank-transfer proof.
Is the rent receipt generator free and private?
Completely free, no account needed. Everything — including the PDF — is created inside your browser; names, PAN numbers and addresses are never sent to any server.
