Fill in the details and download a Section 10(13A) rent receipt as a PDF. No account, no email, no watermark. Everything runs in your browser — nothing you type is sent anywhere.
Employers and assessing officers judge a rent receipt on its contents, not on where it was produced. A receipt supporting an HRA exemption claim under Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act 1961 should carry all of the following:
The generator above produces every one of these fields. The single thing it cannot do is sign the receipt for you — print it and have the landlord sign before submission.
Once annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000— about ₹8,333 a month — the landlord's PAN becomes mandatory on the receipt. Without it, an employer is within their rights to reject the HRA claim, and the exemption can be disallowed on scrutiny. Enter a rent amount above and the tool will tell you which side of the threshold you are on.
If your landlord refuses to share their PAN, read how to claim HRA when your landlord won't give rent receipts — it covers Form 60 declarations and what actually holds up under scrutiny.
The exemption is the smallest of these three figures:
Receipts substantiate the third figure, which is usually the binding one. Keep the bank records for the same payments alongside them — together they are far harder to question than either alone.
Yes. The generator runs entirely in your browser, requires no account, and has no limit on how many receipts you create. Nothing you type is uploaded or stored on a server. A free RentyBase account is only needed if you want receipts generated automatically each month.
Yes, provided the details are accurate. Employers and the Income Tax Department care about the content of the receipt, not who typed it. A receipt must show the tenant's name, the landlord's name and PAN (mandatory when annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh), the full property address, the period covered, the amount, and the payment method. This generator includes all of those fields. The landlord must sign it.
The landlord's PAN is mandatory when annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh, which is roughly ₹8,333 per month. Below that threshold PAN is optional, though including it is still good practice. This tool tells you which side of the threshold you are on as soon as you enter the rent amount.
A revenue stamp is conventionally affixed when rent is paid in cash and the amount exceeds ₹5,000. For UPI, NEFT, IMPS, or cheque payments the bank record is itself evidence of payment, and most employers do not ask for a stamp. When in doubt, ask your employer what they require.
You can generate each month one at a time by changing the month and downloading again — the rest of the form stays filled in. If you would rather not repeat that twelve times, a free RentyBase account generates every month automatically from your logged rent payments and keeps them downloadable all year.
Bring a printed, pre-filled receipt and ask only for a signature — landlords who resist "issuing" a receipt will often sign one you have prepared. Bank transfer records serve as supporting evidence. Our guide on claiming HRA when a landlord will not give receipts walks through every option, including which ones carry risk.
