This is a 100% free rent receipt generator for India. Create a rent receipt for a single month or for the whole financial year and download it as one PDF — there is no sign-up, no watermark and no payment. Receipts are formatted for an HRA exemption claim under Section 10(13A), with the ₹1 revenue-stamp note and the landlord-PAN rule built in. Everything is generated in your browser, so the tenant name, landlord name, address, PAN and rent amounts you enter never leave your device.
| Requirement | When it applies | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Core details | Always | Tenant & landlord name, property address, rent, period, date, signature |
| ₹1 revenue stamp | Cash rent > ₹5,000 per receipt | Affix a ₹1 stamp; landlord signs across it |
| Landlord PAN | Annual rent > ₹1,00,000 | Add landlord PAN; no PAN → declaration + Form 60 |
| Old regime only | To actually save tax | HRA exemption isn’t available in the new regime |
HRA exemption is the least of: actual HRA received, 50% of basic+DA (metro) / 40% (non-metro), and rent paid minus 10% of basic+DA. Rules follow the Income Tax Act, Section 10(13A) — see the official Income Tax Department. Need the full method? Read our HRA exemption guide.
It should show the tenant’s name, landlord’s name, full property address, rent amount, the period it covers, the date and the landlord’s signature. If annual rent is over ₹1,00,000 the landlord’s PAN is also mandatory, and a cash receipt above ₹5,000 needs a ₹1 revenue stamp.
When the total rent you pay in a year exceeds ₹1,00,000 (about ₹8,333 a month). If the landlord doesn’t have a PAN, you can submit a signed declaration along with Form 60. This tool flags the PAN field automatically once your annual rent crosses the limit.
Only when the rent on a receipt is paid in cash and is more than ₹5,000 — then a ₹1 revenue stamp is affixed and the landlord signs across it. Rent paid by bank transfer, cheque or UPI doesn’t need a stamp; the generator adds the stamp box only when it’s needed.
The exempt HRA is the least of three: (a) actual HRA received, (b) 50% of basic+DA for metro cities / 40% for non-metro, and (c) rent paid − 10% of basic+DA. Enter your basic and HRA and the calculator shows all three and the exempt amount instantly.
No — the HRA exemption under Section 10(13A) is available only in the old regime. Under the new regime HRA is fully taxable, so these receipts help your tax only if you opt for the old regime. Compare old vs new with the calculator →
