Create rent receipts your employer will accept for HRA. Fill in the details once and this rent receipt generator makes a receipt for every month, quarter or year, with the amount in words, landlord PAN and a revenue stamp box, ready to print or save as PDF.
Built for HRA claims
Most rent receipt makers give you one receipt at a time and leave the checks to you. This one builds the whole year at once and flags what your employer will ask for.
Pick the months and get one receipt for each month, each quarter or the whole period, with the right dates and numbers.
Amounts are written out in the Indian system of lakhs and crores, exactly as employers and banks expect.
The tool tells you when landlord PAN is required and adds a revenue stamp box for cash payments above ₹5,000.
Choose Classic, Modern or Minimal. Each is laid out to print neatly, several receipts to an A4 page.
Only the receipts are printed, without the rest of the page. Save them as a PDF to email or upload to your payroll portal.
Names, PAN and address never leave your browser. Nothing is uploaded, saved or tracked.
Takes a minute
Five steps from blank form to signed receipts.
Add your name as the tenant and your landlord’s name. Add their PAN if your yearly rent is above ₹1 lakh.
Use the full address of the house you rent, as it appears in your rent agreement.
Enter the monthly rent and how you pay it. A payment reference helps match the receipt to your bank records.
Select the financial year, the first and last month, and whether you want monthly, quarterly or one receipt.
Print or save as PDF, have your landlord sign each receipt, and submit them to your employer before the proof deadline.
The basics
A rent receipt is written proof, signed by your landlord, that you paid rent for a period. Salaried employees who get house rent allowance (HRA) submit these receipts to their employer to claim the HRA exemption in the old tax regime. Without them, your employer deducts tax on the full HRA.
Use our HRA calculator to see how much of your HRA is exempt once your receipts are in order.

Answers
Enter the tenant and landlord names, the property address, the monthly rent, the payment mode and the months you need. The generator creates one receipt per month, per quarter or for the whole period, which you can print or save as a PDF. Then get each receipt signed by your landlord.
Only if you pay more than ₹1 lakh in rent in a financial year, which is about ₹8,333 a month. Below that, PAN is optional. If the landlord does not have a PAN, attach a signed declaration from them.
A revenue stamp is needed when rent of more than ₹5,000 is paid in cash. The landlord signs across the stamp. Receipts for payments by UPI, bank transfer or cheque do not need one.
Yes. Many employers accept one receipt per quarter or one for the full year. Choose the quarterly or whole period option. Check your employer’s policy first, as some ask for monthly receipts.
Yes. A printed or PDF receipt is valid as long as it has the correct details and your landlord signs it. Keep proof of payment such as bank or UPI statements, because the amounts should match.
Yes, if a parent owns the house, you actually transfer the rent to them, and they show it as rental income in their tax return. A rent agreement and bank records make the claim stronger.
No. HRA exemption is not available in the new tax regime, so rent receipts do not reduce your tax. You need them only if you choose the old regime.
Many employers accept HRA claims without receipts when rent is up to ₹3,000 a month. This is a common employer practice, not a legal limit, so keep receipts anyway.
Yes. The receipts are created inside your browser. Nothing you type is sent to or stored on our server, and it is cleared when you close the page.
Use the rent receipt generator to create the whole year’s receipts in one go, get them signed, and claim every rupee of HRA you are entitled to.
