Rent receipts are what an employer needs before allowing an HRA exemption in TDS. One per month, each naming the tenant, the landlord, the property, the period and the amount.
Above ₹1,00,000 of annual rent your landlord's PAN is required. Without it the employer cannot allow the exemption, and you are left claiming it in your return instead.
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need rent receipts to claim HRA?
- Yes, to have the exemption allowed by your employer in TDS. Section 392(5)(b) requires the employer to obtain evidence before allowing a claim, and receipts are that evidence.
- Is the landlord's PAN mandatory for HRA?
- Where annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000, yes. Without it your employer cannot allow the exemption when computing TDS.
- Can I claim HRA for rent paid to my parents?
- Yes, where the arrangement is genuine — rent actually paid, a parent who genuinely owns the property and declares the rent as income in their own return. Rent paid to a spouse is generally not accepted.
- Is a revenue stamp required on a rent receipt?
- Conventionally one is affixed on receipts above ₹5,000 and signed across. Whether it is strictly required is debated, but its absence is occasionally questioned, so most people include it.
