If you live on rent and get HRA, your employer usually asks for rent receipts before giving the tax benefit. Here is what a good receipt contains.

What to include

  • Tenant's name and landlord's name
  • Address of the rented property
  • Rent amount (in figures and words) and the month
  • How it was paid (bank transfer, UPI, cash or cheque) and the date
  • Landlord's signature
  • Landlord's PAN if the yearly rent is more than ₹1,00,000

Revenue stamp

A revenue stamp is commonly asked for on receipts for cash payments above ₹5,000. Paying by bank or UPI and keeping the statement makes your proof stronger.
