Make monthly rent receipts for HRA in one go: tenant and landlord details, rent in figures and words, landlord PAN check, rent hike mid-year, revenue stamp box for cash and a signature pad. Print or save as PDF with 1, 2 or 3 receipts per A4 page. Free, no sign-up, nothing leaves your browser.
Make receipts only for rent you actually paid. The Income Tax Department matches HRA claims with landlord PAN and bank data, and false receipts can lead to tax, penalty and prosecution. On a phone, choose “Save as PDF” as the printer.
| Detail | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Tenant and landlord names | Who paid and who received the rent |
| Rent amount in figures and words | Prevents changes to the amount |
| Rent period and receipt date | Shows which month the payment covers |
| Address of the rented house | The house you live in, which should match your rent agreement |
| Landlord PAN | Needed when total rent is more than ₹1,00,000 in the financial year |
| Payment mode | UPI, bank transfer or cheque leaves a trail. Cash over ₹5,000 needs a ₹1 revenue stamp |
| Landlord signature | Confirms the landlord received the money |
| Situation | What applies |
|---|---|
| HRA received up to ₹3,000 a month | Employers need not insist on rent receipts (CBDT salary TDS circular), but keep them anyway |
| Rent above ₹1,00,000 in the year (about ₹8,334 a month) | Landlord PAN is required. If the landlord has no PAN, a declaration from the landlord is needed |
| Rent paid in cash above ₹5,000 | ₹1 revenue stamp, signed across by the landlord |
| Rent above ₹50,000 a month | The tenant deducts 2% TDS on rent and deposits it (section 393 of the Income-tax Act, 2025, formerly 194-IB) |
| Landlord is a parent | Allowed if the parent owns the house and shows the rent as income. Rent to a spouse is usually questioned |
| New tax regime | HRA is not exempt, so rent receipts are only useful under the old regime |

Yes. Employers accept typed or printed receipts if they show the tenant and landlord names, rent amount, period, house address, landlord PAN when needed, and the landlord’s signature. A generator only fills the format; the rent must actually have been paid.
When the rent you pay is more than ₹1,00,000 in the financial year. That is more than about ₹8,333 a month for 12 months. This generator adds up the rent for each financial year and warns you if a PAN is needed.
Only for cash payments above ₹5,000. Fix a ₹1 revenue stamp and ask the landlord to sign across it. Receipts for UPI, bank transfer or cheque payments generally do not need one. Tick “Show revenue stamp box” if your employer asks for it anyway.
Usually one per month for the period you claim HRA, so 12 for a full financial year (April to March). Some employers accept quarterly receipts. Generate all months in one PDF here and print 3 per page.
Tick “Rent changed during this period”, enter the new rent and the month it applies from. Receipts before that month use the old rent and the rest use the new one, and the yearly total updates.
Yes, if the house is owned by your parent, you actually pay the rent (preferably by bank or UPI) and your parent declares it as income in their tax return. Form 124 asks for your relationship with the landlord from FY 2026-27.
It is the new name of Form 12BB from 1 April 2026 under the Income-tax Rules, 2026. You give it to your employer to declare HRA, LTA, home loan interest and deductions. Use “Copy Form 124 summary” to get the rent details you need to fill it.
No. HRA exemption is available only under the old tax regime, so rent receipts matter only if you choose the old regime with your employer.
