HRA tax exemption under Section 10(13A) requires rent receipts as proof of rent paid. Employers ask for them during proof-submission window (typically Jan-Feb). The receipts must include tenant name, landlord name, address, rent amount, period, and landlord's PAN if annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh. Generate ITR-compliant receipts in seconds.
When to use this
Use when: submitting Form 12BB proof of investments / deductions to employer, claiming HRA exemption while filing ITR (employer didn't process it through TDS), generating receipts to backfill past months you forgot to collect from landlord, preparing rental documentation for visa / loan applications.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need landlord's PAN on the rent receipt?
Yes, if your annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh (₹8,333/month). Income Tax Act requires landlord PAN disclosure above this threshold. If landlord refuses to share PAN, you can submit Form 60 declaration instead (but employer / IT department may scrutinize).
Are rent receipts to family members valid?
Legally yes, but heavily scrutinized. Need a genuine landlord-tenant relationship: actual rent payment via bank transfer (not cash), the family member declares rental income in their ITR, and an arm's-length rent (matching local market rates). If audited, lack of these elements will get the HRA claim disallowed.
