Free rent receipt maker for HRA
Make a full year of rent receipts in one go: type the landlord, the tenant, the house and the rent, pick the months, and print three receipts on each A4 page for your landlord to sign. Ready for the HRA proof your employer asks for. No login, nothing sent to anyone.
How to make a rent receipt here
- Type the landlord's details. Name, address, phone and PAN. If the rent comes to more than ₹1,00,000 a year and the PAN is empty, the maker warns you, because employers ask for it.
- Type the tenant and the house. The tenant's name as it appears in salary records, and the full address of the rented house. Landlords and tenants from earlier rent receipts come up as suggestions while you type; nothing fills in by itself.
- Set the rent and the months. Rent per month, then From month and To month. One receipt is made for each month, up to 24, numbered RR/…-01, -02 and so on.
- Choose the date on each receipt. Last day of the month, first day of the month, or one date on all of them. Then set how the rent was paid: cash, UPI, cheque, bank transfer and others, with the reference number.
- Save, then Print / PDF or Share. Three receipts fit on each A4 page. Ask the landlord to sign each one (and fix a revenue stamp if the rent was paid in cash above ₹5,000). Share sends the PDF through WhatsApp or email on a phone; on a computer it is downloaded.
- Next year? Open it from Saved rent receipts and press Copy for next period. The new set moves on by the same number of months, ready to check and save.
What it does for you

- PAN reminder: a warning when yearly rent is above ₹1,00,000 and the landlord's PAN is missing.
- Revenue stamp box: printed on receipts for cash rent above ₹5,000, so the landlord knows where to stick it.

Questions people ask
Is this rent receipt maker free?
Yes. Making, saving, printing and sharing rent receipts is free, with no login and no limit. A small line at the bottom of the page says where it was made.
Can I make rent receipts for the whole year at once?
Yes. Set From month and To month (up to 24 months). One numbered receipt is made for each month, three to an A4 page.
When is the landlord's PAN needed?
When the rent for the year is more than ₹1,00,000. Employers ask for it before allowing the HRA exemption. The maker warns you if the PAN is empty and the rent is above that.
Do I need a revenue stamp on a rent receipt?
For cash rent above ₹5,000, a ₹1 revenue stamp signed across by the landlord is usually asked for. The maker prints a box for it on those receipts. For rent paid through the bank, most employers do not insist on it. See revenue stamp on rent receipts.
Can I claim HRA in the new tax regime?
No. HRA exemption is only available in the old tax regime. In the new regime rent receipts do not reduce the tax on your salary.
Can I pay rent to my parents and claim HRA?
Yes, if you really pay the rent, the parent owns the house and the parent shows the rent as income in their tax return. Pay by bank or UPI so there is proof. Since April 2026 you must also state your relationship with the landlord in the HRA declaration (Form 124) when the rent is above ₹1,00,000 a year.
Who signs the rent receipt?
The landlord, or a person they authorise to collect rent. The tenant does not sign it.
How do I make next year's receipts?
Open last year's set from Saved rent receipts and press Copy for next period. The months move on by the same number, and the landlord, tenant and rent are already there to check.
