InvestingPro· Rent Receipts

Receipt details

Your annual rent (₹2,40,000) exceeds ₹1,00,000 — your employer/the IT department will require the landlord's PAN (or a Form 60 declaration) to honour your HRA exemption. Add it above.

What actually needs to be on a rent receipt

Landlord PAN — required above ₹1 lakh/year

CBDT requires the landlord's PAN on the receipt (or a Form 60 declaration in its absence) whenever your annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000, for your employer or the IT department to honour the HRA exemption. Below that, PAN is optional but still good practice.

Revenue stamp — only for cash payments

Per the Indian Stamp Act, a rent receipt for a cash payment of ₹5,000 or more needs a physical ₹1 revenue stamp affixed and signed across it. Bank transfer, UPI, and cheque payments don't need this — the transaction record itself is proof.

What this tool doesn't replace

This generates the receipt text and layout — it doesn't collect an actual signature or affix a physical stamp. Print it, get your landlord to sign (and stamp, if paying cash), and keep the originals; most employers accept a scanned copy for HRA documentation.
