When is the landlord’s PAN required?

Employers generally ask for the landlord’s PAN when annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000. The PAN line only appears when you fill it in.

Do I need a revenue stamp?

A revenue stamp is commonly required on receipts for cash payments above ₹5,000. Turn the stamp box on or off with the revenueStamp field.

Can I use it outside India?

Yes — change the currency, locale and wording, and remove the PAN and stamp fields to make it a general rent receipt.

Rent receipt generator

A monthly rent receipt with tenant, landlord PAN and a revenue stamp box — the format used for HRA claims.

Need one per person? Generate them from a CSV

Salaried employees in India usually submit rent receipts to claim House Rent Allowance (HRA). This template covers what employers typically ask for: the tenant and landlord names, the rent amount in figures and words, the rental period, the property address, the payment mode and the landlord’s signature.

Generate one receipt, or a receipt for every month of the financial year from the same details, then have your landlord sign them.
