How to Use Rent Receipts for HRA Exemption

When do you need rent receipts?

Salaried employees claiming House Rent Allowance (HRA) must submit rent receipts to their HR/payroll team — typically in January or February for the current financial year. Without valid receipts, HRA is included in taxable income.

Mandatory fields in a rent receipt

Revenue stamp rule

A ₹1 revenue stamp is required if cash payment exceeds ₹5,000. For payments by NEFT, UPI, or cheque — no stamp is needed.

Is a landlord's PAN always required?

No. Landlord PAN is mandatory only when annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000 (₹8,334/month or more). Below this threshold, receipts without PAN are valid for HRA claims.

What if my landlord refuses to give PAN?

If your landlord refuses, you can still claim HRA but you may have to pay tax on the excess amount. Your employer may accept a declaration from the landlord stating they don't have a PAN.

Can I claim HRA for parents' house?

Yes, provided you are actually paying rent, there is a formal rental agreement, and the rent is credited to your parents' bank account. Your parents must declare this rental income in their ITR.
