HRA paperwork, in the browser

Rent receipt generator

Produce the receipt an employer accepts for an HRA claim: rent, period, mode, landlord PAN and a signature line.

Tenancy details stay in this tab. The PDF is built locally and downloaded from memory.

Short answer: fill the landlord, tenant, period and rent, then download the receipt. Cash payments above ₹5,000 get the revenue-stamp reminder automatically. Print it and have the landlord sign — an unsigned printout is not proof.

Why employers reject rent receipts

Usually one of three things is missing: the landlord PAN when annual rent crosses ₹1,00,000, the mode of payment, or the landlord signature. A receipt with no PAN and no signature looks like it was made by the employee, and that is exactly what an assessing officer checks during scrutiny.

One receipt per payment, not one per year

Generate a receipt for each month or quarter you actually paid. A single annual receipt covering twelve months is accepted by some employers, but monthly receipts match the bank statement line by line and are much harder to question.

Rent receipt questions

What must a rent receipt contain for HRA?

Landlord name, the rented address, the period covered, the amount paid, the mode of payment and the landlord signature. Employers also ask for the landlord PAN once annual rent crosses ₹1,00,000, which is why the field is on this form.

When is a revenue stamp needed?

The convention is a revenue stamp for a cash payment above ₹5,000, signed across the stamp. This form ticks the reminder automatically when you choose cash and enter more than that; UPI, cheque and bank transfers do not need one.

Is a printed receipt valid without a signature?

No. An HRA claim needs the landlord signature on the receipt, and often a revenue stamp for cash. This page produces the formatted receipt — you print it, the landlord signs it. The PDF says the same thing so nobody mistakes it for a signed document.

Are my landlord and rent details uploaded?

No. The receipt is composed in this tab and downloaded from memory. Nothing about the tenancy leaves the device, which matters for an address that identifies where you live.
