HRA checklist
What makes a receipt valid for HRA
A rent receipt is the proof your employer uses to allow the HRA exemption under Section 10(13A). Every receipt generated here includes the details below.
Both names and the full address
The receipt names the tenant and the landlord and states the complete rental property address.
Exact amount, month and year
Rent paid is printed in rupees alongside the month and year it relates to, so it matches your salary records.
Payment mode
Bank transfer, UPI, cash or cheque — the mode is shown as required by CBDT guidance.
PAN fields
Tenant and landlord PAN fields are printed. The landlord's PAN is mandatory once annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000.
Landlord acknowledgement
The receipt includes an acknowledgement sentence and a signature space for the landlord.
Printable A4 format
A clean A4 layout that can be printed, signed and submitted to any Indian employer.
Important — PAN rules for HRA
If your annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000 (₹8,334 per month), your employer needs the landlord's PAN to process the HRA exemption. Without it, the employer is required to deduct TDS on the full HRA amount under Section 192(2B) of the Income-tax Act. This generator warns you when the threshold is crossed and a PAN is missing.
This tool produces the receipt document only. It is not tax or legal advice — verify current requirements with your employer's HR team or a chartered accountant.

The tenant's name and PAN, the landlord's name and PAN, the full rental property address, the monthly rent, the payment mode, and the month and year the rent relates to. You can also set a receipt number and receipt date. Keep a signed rent agreement handy — some employers ask for it alongside the receipts.
If your annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000 (about ₹8,334 per month), yes. Under Section 192(2B) of the Income-tax Act, your employer needs the landlord's PAN to allow the HRA exemption without deducting TDS on the full amount. Below that threshold it is optional, though including it is still good practice.
Yes. Turn on 'Generate multiple months', choose the year and tick the months you need. The download is a single PDF with one receipt per page, one per month, with receipt numbers incremented automatically and each receipt dated the last day of its month.
A rent receipt is proof that rent was paid, while a rent agreement sets out the terms of the tenancy. Many employers ask for both when processing HRA. If you do not have a written agreement, you can generate a free Leave and License agreement for any Indian state with Rentesy's other free tool.
The receipt is stronger with a signature. The generated PDF includes an acknowledgement from the landlord and a signature space. Print it, have the landlord sign it, and keep the signed copy with your HRA documents.
