Guide

Choosing a receipt template

Which design fits your field and experience, and what to put on the page.

What a rent receipt needs

The tenant's and landlord's names, the address of the rented home, the month and period, the rent in figures and in words, how it was paid, the landlord's signature and, when the yearly rent is above Rs. 1,00,000, the landlord's PAN.

Revenue stamp

A cash receipt for more than Rs. 5,000 usually carries a Re. 1 revenue stamp under the Indian Stamp Act, signed across by the landlord. The format leaves a box for it.

One a month or one a year?

Employers usually ask for one receipt per month. The online generator makes all twelve months in one PDF with numbered receipts, so you print and sign them once.
