What it does and when to use it

Tenants often need a whole year of rent receipts at once, for example for a house rent allowance (HRA) claim. This tool produces the full series with consistent numbering and correct period dates.

Each receipt is a dashed box headed “Rent receipt” with its number and date. The text reads: “Received with thanks from [tenant] the sum of [amount] ([amount in words]) by [payment mode] towards rent for the property at [address] for the period [from] – [to].” Below it are the landlord’s name, the PAN in capitals if given, an optional revenue stamp box and a “Signature of landlord” line.

How it works

Periods start on the first day of the starting month. Monthly periods run to the month’s last day (28 or 29 February as the calendar requires); quarterly periods cover three months at three times the monthly rent. Receipts are numbered prefix + 01, 02 and so on, and dated on the “Rent paid on day” of each period’s first month (or its last day, if shorter). The summary shows the total, the amount per receipt and annual rent (monthly rent × 12). Nothing is uploaded.

Worked examples

A financial year, monthly. ₹25,000 a month from 1 April 2026, twelve receipts paid on the 5th. Receipts RR-2026-01 to RR-2026-12 run from “1 Apr 2026 – 30 Apr 2026” to “1 Mar 2027 – 31 Mar 2027” (February shows 28 Feb 2027). Total rent on these receipts: ₹3,00,000.00, each “Twenty-five thousand rupees only”.

Quarterly, paid in cash. Same rent, four quarterly receipts of ₹75,000 each. Because they are cash payments above ₹5,000, each has a revenue stamp box. The last register line reads RR-2026-04 | 2027-01-05 | 2027-01-01 | 2027-03-31 | 75000.00 | Seventy-five thousand rupees only.

Limits and tips

• This is a template, not tax or legal advice. Rules on HRA evidence and stamps can change; check current requirements with your employer or a tax adviser.
• For other payments, use a general receipt. Employers confirming pay for a lease application can use the salary certificate generator, and staff see their HRA on the payslip.
