Frequently Asked Questions
Can I claim HRA by showing rent paid to my parents?
Yes. You can pay rent to your parents and claim HRA exemption, provided there is a genuine rental arrangement and you actually transfer the money. The rent receipts generated here will be valid proof. Note that the rental income becomes taxable in your parents' hands.
Is a single rent receipt for the whole year sufficient, or do I need monthly receipts?
This depends on your employer's policy. Some companies accept a single receipt for the full year; others insist on monthly or quarterly receipts. This tool generates separate receipts for each month, so you are covered either way.
What if my landlord doesn't have a PAN?
If the total rent exceeds ₹1,00,000 per year, PAN is mandatory. If the landlord has no PAN, you need a declaration from them (Form 60), and your HRA exemption may be restricted. The tool highlights this requirement when PAN is missing.

Yes — it is 100% free, needs no sign‑up, and everything runs in your browser; your data never leaves your device.
