What Is a Rent Receipt?
A rent receipt is a written acknowledgement from a landlord that rent has been paid for a specific period. It records who paid, who received the money, how much was paid, for which property and for which months.
Receipts protect both sides. Tenants get proof of payment if a dispute ever comes up, and landlords keep a tidy record of rental income for their own accounts and tax returns.
What to Include on a Rent Receipt
- A receipt number and the date it was issued
- The tenant’s and landlord’s names
- The address of the rented property
- The rent period covered, such as a month or a quarter
- The amount received, in figures and in words
- How the rent was paid, with a transaction or cheque reference where available
- The landlord’s signature
Rent Receipts in India (HRA Claims)
When Indian Rupees is selected as the currency, the generator adds the extra details Indian receipts usually need. Salaried employees who receive House Rent Allowance (HRA) are typically asked by their employer for rent receipts as proof of rent paid. A few practical points:
- Landlord PAN: employers commonly ask for the landlord’s PAN when the total rent for the year is more than ₹1,00,000.
- Revenue stamp: receipts for cash payments above ₹5,000 are generally expected to carry a revenue stamp signed by the landlord. When you choose Cash, the tool adds a space for it.
- Frequency: monthly receipts are the most common, but many employers also accept quarterly or yearly receipts. Check what your employer needs.
Rules change and employers differ, so confirm the exact requirements with your employer or a tax adviser.

No. Receipts are created entirely in your browser. Nothing you type is sent to Rhentto or saved once you close the page.
How do I save the receipts as a PDF?
Click “Print / Save as PDF”, then choose “Save as PDF” as the printer. Only the receipts are printed, not the form.
