A year of rent receipts in one go

Salaried employees in India can reduce their taxable income through House Rent Allowance (HRA), but employers ask for rent receipts as proof. Writing twelve receipts by hand is tedious. Enter the details once and Atifo creates one receipt per month for the whole period, three to a page, ready to print and sign.

What each receipt contains

• The tenant’s name and the rented property address.
• The month and dates covered, and the payment date.
• The rent in figures and in words.
• The payment mode.
• The landlord’s name, address and PAN.
• A receipt number and a signature line for the landlord.

When the landlord’s PAN is needed

If you pay more than ₹1,00,000 in rent in a financial year, your employer will usually ask for your landlord’s PAN. The form tells you when this applies. If your landlord doesn’t have a PAN, employers typically ask for a signed declaration instead.

Revenue stamps for cash rent

When rent above ₹5,000 is paid in cash, each receipt should carry a ₹1 revenue stamp signed by the landlord, so a stamp box is added automatically. Rent paid by bank transfer or UPI is easier to prove, because your bank statement backs up the receipts.

Keep it genuine

Only create receipts for rent you actually paid. HRA claims can be checked against bank records and the landlord’s tax return. Get each receipt signed, and keep copies for at least as long as your tax records.
