Rent Receipt Generator (India)

How to Use Rent Receipt Generator (India)

1. Fill in tenant and landlord details – enter the tenant's name, landlord's name, and address. If the annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000, the landlord's PAN is mandatory for HRA claims.
2. Set the monthly rent and period – enter the rent amount and choose the From and To months. The tool generates one receipt per month automatically.
3. Select the payment mode – choose Bank Transfer or Cash. If rent is ₹5,000 or more and paid in cash, a revenue stamp note appears on the receipt.
4. Generate and print – click “Generate Receipts”. Each month's receipt shows the amount in words, a receipt number, and the landlord signature line. Use the Print button to print all receipts at once.

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.

Is Rent Receipt Generator free and private?

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