Why Rent Receipts Matter

Rent receipts are crucial documents for claiming House Rent Allowance (HRA) exemption under Section 10(13A) of the Income Tax Act. They serve as proof of rent payment and help reduce your taxable income.

Key Benefits:

  • Reduce taxable income through HRA exemption
  • Essential documentation for ITR filing
  • Required by employers for salary processing
  • Proof of residence and financial transaction
Documents Required

For smooth HRA claims, keep these documents ready:

  • Rent Receipts: Monthly receipts signed by landlord
  • Landlord PAN: If annual rent > ₹1 lakh
  • Rent Agreement: Recommended but not mandatory
  • Payment Proof: Bank statements, cancelled cheques
  • Revenue Stamp: For cash payments > ₹5,000

💡 Tip: Digital payments (UPI, bank transfer) provide automatic payment proof!

HRA Exemption Rules

HRA exemption is the minimum of these three:

  1. Actual HRA received from employer
  2. 50% (metro) or 40% (non-metro) of Basic + DA salary
  3. Actual rent paid minus 10% of Basic + DA
