What a rent receipt needs

  • Tenant name
  • Landlord name and address
  • The rented property address
  • The period the receipt covers, usually one month
  • The amount paid, in figures and words
  • How it was paid
  • Landlord signature
  • Landlord PAN, where the annual rent crosses the threshold

A note on PAN and revenue stamps

Employers commonly ask for the landlord's PAN once annual rent crosses ₹1,00,000, and some ask for a revenue stamp on cash payments above a certain amount. Requirements vary by employer and change over time, so check what your payroll team asks for. Nothing here is tax advice.

Common mistakes

  • One receipt for the whole year instead of monthly ones
  • Missing the landlord PAN when the employer requires it
  • No property address on the receipt
  • Dates that do not line up with the actual payment dates
