HRA Exemption Rules (India FY 2025-26)

When is Landlord PAN Mandatory?

If your annual rent exceeds Rs.1,00,000 (Rs.8,333/month), you must provide your landlord's PAN to claim HRA exemption. Without PAN, your HRA claim may be rejected.

HRA Exemption Calculation

HRA exemption is the minimum of: (1) Actual HRA received, (2) Rent paid minus 10% of basic salary, (3) 50% of basic salary for metro cities or 40% for non-metro cities.

Revenue Stamp Requirement

For cash payments above Rs.5,000, a revenue stamp of Re.1 should be affixed on the receipt and signed across by the landlord. This is a legal requirement.

Documents to Keep

Maintain rent receipts, rent agreement copy, landlord PAN copy, and bank statements showing rent transfers. These may be requested during tax assessment.

HRA Exemption Limits

City TypeMax HRA ExemptionCities
Metro50% of Basic SalaryDelhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai
Non-Metro40% of Basic SalaryAll other cities

Example: If your basic salary is Rs.50,000 and you pay Rs.20,000 rent in Mumbai, your HRA exemption would be the minimum of: Actual HRA, Rs.15,000 (20,000 - 10% of 50,000), or Rs.25,000 (50% of basic).

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Missing Landlord PAN

For rent above Rs.1 lakh/year, landlord PAN is mandatory. Claims without PAN are rejected.

No Revenue Stamp

Cash payments over Rs.5,000 require a revenue stamp on the receipt.

Incomplete Property Address

Full property address including flat number, building, and pincode should be mentioned.

Mismatch with Bank Records

Rent amounts should match bank transfer records. Keep statements handy.

Free Rent Receipt Generator for HRA Tax Exemption

Our rent receipt generator is specifically designed for Indian taxpayers claiming HRA (House Rent Allowance) exemption. Generate professional, tax-compliant rent receipts with all required fields including landlord PAN, revenue stamp placeholder, and complete property details.

Why You Need Rent Receipts

Rent receipts are essential documents for claiming HRA exemption under the Income Tax Act. If you receive HRA from your employer and pay rent for accommodation, you can claim tax exemption on the lower of: actual HRA received, rent paid minus 10% of basic salary, or 50%/40% of basic salary (metro/non-metro).

Landlord PAN Requirement

If your annual rent exceeds Rs.1,00,000 (more than Rs.8,333 per month), providing your landlord's PAN is mandatory. Without this, your HRA exemption claim can be disallowed during tax assessment. Our generator includes dedicated fields for landlord PAN to ensure your receipts are fully compliant.

Revenue Stamp for Cash Payments

For rent paid in cash exceeding Rs.5,000, a revenue stamp of Re.1 must be affixed on the rent receipt. The landlord should sign across the stamp. Our receipts include a revenue stamp placeholder with clear instructions. For bank transfers or UPI payments, revenue stamp is not required.
