Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about Rent Receipts and HRA claims
1. Why is a Landlord's PAN required on the receipt?
As per Indian Income Tax guidelines, if your total rent paid in a financial year exceeds ₹1,00,000 (approx. ₹8,333 per month), you must provide the landlord's PAN to claim House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption.
2. Do I need a Revenue Stamp for rent receipts?
A Revenue Stamp of ₹1 is legally required on the rent receipt if the cash payment exceeds ₹5,000 per receipt. For electronic bank transfers or UPI, revenue stamps are generally not mandatory, but having one ensures extra compliance.
3. Can I claim HRA if my landlord doesn't have a PAN?
Yes, but you will need a written declaration from your landlord stating that they do not possess a PAN card, along with their signed copy of Form 60.
4. How can Renthive make rent management easier?
Renthive automates the entire renting journey. Landlords get auto-reminders, automated digital collections via standard Indian payment gateways, simple expense logging, and automatic receipt generation sent straight to the tenant's WhatsApp.
