FAQ

Rent receipt — common questions

Are these rent receipts accepted for HRA exemption under Section 10(13A)?
Yes. Receipts include every field prescribed by Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act, 1961 and Rule 26C: receipt number, date, tenant name, landlord name, amount in figures and in words, exact rental period, full property address, payment mode, and landlord signature placeholder. For annual rent above Rs. 1,00,000, the form requires landlord PAN per Form 12BB requirements.
Do I need landlord PAN on the receipt?
PAN is mandatory if your annual rent exceeds Rs. 1,00,000 under Rule 26C. Below that threshold, PAN is optional but recommended for audit defence. If the landlord refuses to provide PAN, you must submit a written declaration from the landlord stating PAN is not held. The declaration is a documented record but not a substitute for PAN. See our Section 10(13A) rent-receipt checklist for the full field list.
Can I generate all 12 months of the financial year in one go?
Yes. All receipts download as a ZIP — ₹5 for the final PDF. This is the format Form 12BB upload portals expect for monthly submissions.
Do I need to add a revenue stamp?
Revenue stamp box included for receipts above ₹5,000.
Will my data be stored or sold?
No. The site processes document generation entirely in your browser. No email or phone is required, no cookies track you, and no document input ever leaves your device (the only server call is Razorpay payment confirmation). You can verify this via your browser DevTools Network tab — no document data is uploaded.
Is HRA exemption available under the New Tax Regime?
No. HRA exemption under Section 11 read with Schedule III (Sl. No. 11) of the Income-tax Act, 2025 (formerly Section 10(13A)) is available only under the old regime. The new regime (Section 202, formerly 115BAC) has been the default since FY 2023-24, and HRA is not available under it. To use the old regime, exercise the Section 202(4) option (Rule 136) in your return of income. For the comparison, see our income tax slabs FY 2026-27 article.

First-timer questions

  • When is landlord PAN required?

    When annual rent paid > ₹1 lakh. Below that a landlord declaration suffices. Our form prompts for PAN at that threshold.

  • Do I need a revenue stamp?

    Revenue stamp box included for receipts above ₹5,000.

  • Can I claim HRA without producing receipts?

    Per Rule 26C employers must collect receipts. The IT department can demand them during assessment. Keep the PDFs for at least 6 years.

  • What if I missed the Form 12BB deadline?

    You can still claim HRA exemption directly in your ITR (subject to the figures matching your bank credits). See the "Rent receipt for ITR" pillar guide.
