About the Rent Receipt Generator
Type the tenant, the landlord, the rented home and the monthly rent, pick the months, and get one rent receipt for each month (up to 12) or one receipt for the whole period. Each receipt shows the amount in figures and in words, how the rent was paid and a line for the landlord's signature, and the tool adds up the rent by financial year and checks the landlord's PAN. Print one or two receipts on each A4 page, or save a PDF through your browser's print window. It runs in your browser, and only your own details are kept there.

What a rent receipt shows
A rent receipt records that the landlord received rent from the tenant: the date, who paid and who received it, the amount in figures and words, the month or period it covers, the rented home, how it was paid and the landlord's signature. The Income Tax Department's return help says you need rent receipts to work out HRA if you have not given them to your employer. The layout and fields here are our suggestion; ask your employer whether they need anything more.
The landlord's PAN, cash and stamps
Under the Income-tax Act, 1961, CBDT Circular 1/2017 and the note on Form 12BB ask an employee to give the employer the landlord's PAN when the rent for the year is more than ₹1 lakh; a landlord without a PAN signs a declaration with their name and address instead. The Income-tax Act, 2025 applies from 1 April 2026, so ask your employer which form and limit they use now. Section 269ST of the 1961 Act does not allow receiving ₹2 lakh or more in cash from one person in a day, for one transaction or for one event. Article 53 of Schedule I to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 charges stamp duty on a receipt for more than ₹5,000, with exemptions; the tool can leave a box for a revenue stamp.
What this tool cannot do
It does not work out your HRA exemption or your tax, and it cannot tell whether your employer will accept the receipts, whether stamp duty applies to them or whether a PAN is real. The Income Tax Department's return rules for AY 2026-27 say the HRA exemption cannot be claimed under the new tax regime. If you deduct TDS from the rent as a tenant, you report it in Form 141 under section 393(1) of the Income-tax Act, 2025; this tool does not work out TDS. It is not tax or legal advice: check with your employer or your CA.
Frequently asked questions
How do I make rent receipts for HRA?
Type the tenant's and landlord's names, the address and the monthly rent, pick the months, and choose Print or save as PDF. You get one receipt for each month, with the amount in words and a line for the landlord's signature. Ask the landlord to sign each one before you give them to your employer.
When does my employer need my landlord's PAN?
Under the Income-tax Act, 1961, CBDT Circular 1/2017 and Form 12BB ask for the landlord's PAN when the rent for the year is more than ₹1 lakh, which is more than ₹8,333 a month over a full year. If the landlord has no PAN, they sign a declaration with their name and address. The Income-tax Act, 2025 applies from 1 April 2026, so ask your employer which form and limit they use now.
Should I make one receipt a month or one for the whole period?
The tool makes either: one receipt for each month, dated when the rent was paid, or one receipt for the whole period. Monthly receipts match monthly payments; ask your employer which they want. It makes up to 12 receipts at a time and adds up the rent by financial year.
Do rent receipts need a revenue stamp?
Article 53 of Schedule I to the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 charges stamp duty on a receipt for money of more than ₹5,000, and the article lists exemptions. Whether duty applies to your rent receipts, and how much, is a question for your CA. Tick "Leave a box for a revenue stamp" to print a box next to the signature.
Is anything I type saved or uploaded?
Nothing you type is uploaded. The tool keeps only your own name (and your PAN if you are the landlord), the address, the rent and your settings in this browser, so they are filled in next time; the other person's name and PAN are not saved. Use "Forget my saved details" to remove them.
