- Download the PDF, print it and get each receipt signed by your landlord.
Questions
When is the landlord’s PAN needed?
When the rent you pay is more than ₹1 lakh in a year (about ₹8,334 a month). Without it, your employer may not allow the HRA exemption.
Do I need a revenue stamp?
A revenue stamp is needed on a rent receipt for a cash payment above ₹5,000. The tool adds a box for it when you choose cash. Payments by bank transfer, UPI or cheque don’t need one.
Can I pay rent to my parents and claim HRA?
Yes, if you genuinely pay them rent and they own the property. They must show the rent as income in their tax return.
Does HRA exemption work in the new tax regime?
No. HRA exemption is only available in the old tax regime. Compare both with the income tax calculator.
