Rent Receipt Generator for HRA (Free, No Signup)

What a valid rent receipt should show

A rent receipt that your employer or the tax department will accept usually carries the tenant name, the landlord name, the full address of the rented home, the rent amount in figures and words, the month it is for, the date, and the landlord signature. This generator fills all of that in for you.

Revenue stamp on cash rent

If you pay rent in cash and a single receipt is for more than Rs 5,000, a revenue stamp should be affixed and signed across. The generator adds a reminder box on those receipts. Rent paid by bank transfer does not need a stamp, and the transfer itself is good proof.

Landlord PAN when rent crosses Rs 1 lakh

If your total rent for the year is more than Rs 1,00,000, you must report the landlord PAN to your employer or in your return. Add it in the field above and it prints on every receipt. You can claim rent paid to a parent too, as long as the arrangement is genuine and the parent shows the rent as income.

Keep a rent agreement too

Rent receipts are the main proof for HRA, and a rent agreement is not strictly required by law. In practice, though, many employers ask for one, and a written agreement is your strongest backup if the claim is ever questioned, especially for higher rent or rent paid to a family member. A rent agreement for less than 12 months usually does not need registration. If you pay rent to a parent, a genuine agreement together with bank transfers keeps the arrangement clean.

How to use these for HRA

Generate one receipt for each month you paid rent, then work out the exempt portion with our HRA exemption calculator. Remember that HRA is allowed only under the old tax regime, so compare both with the old vs new regime calculator before you choose. Not sure which return to file? Try the ITR form finder. For the official rules, see the income tax e-filing portal.

These receipts are for genuine rent actually paid. Creating receipts for rent you did not pay is not allowed and can be treated as tax evasion. This tool is for general help and is not tax advice.
