About the Rent Receipt Generator
Salaried employees who claim HRA under the old tax regime have to give their employer proof of rent, usually monthly rent receipts signed by the landlord, often by January or February for the whole financial year. Writing twelve receipts by hand is tedious, and missing details such as the landlord's PAN for rent over ₹1 lakh a year is a common reason claims are held up.
Fill in the tenant and landlord names, the landlord's PAN, the address, the monthly rent and the months to cover (the current financial year is filled in). The tool writes one receipt per month with the amount in figures and in words, the payment mode and a signature line, adds a revenue stamp box for cash rent over ₹5,000, and saves them as a PDF with two receipts per A4 page, ready to print, sign and submit.

Frequently asked questions
When is the landlord's PAN needed?
When the rent is more than ₹1 lakh in the financial year (over about ₹8,333 a month). Without it, the employer may not allow the HRA exemption.
Do rent receipts need a revenue stamp?
A revenue stamp is needed on a receipt for a cash payment of more than ₹5,000. Rent paid by UPI, bank transfer or cheque does not need one, as the payment itself is the proof.
Can I claim HRA in the new tax regime?
No. HRA exemption is only available under the old regime. Use the Income Tax Calculator to compare both regimes first.
Is anything I enter saved?
No. The PDF is made on your device and nothing is stored or sent.
