Rent receipts are required to claim HRA (House Rent Allowance) exemption under the old tax regime. If your monthly rent exceeds ₹3,000, your employer will ask for rent receipts as proof.
Is landlord PAN mandatory?
Landlord PAN is mandatory if your annual rent exceeds ₹1,00,000. If the landlord doesn't have PAN, a declaration from the landlord can be submitted instead.
Do I need a revenue stamp on rent receipts?
A revenue stamp of ₹1 is required on rent receipts when payment is made in cash. For digital payments (bank transfer/UPI), a revenue stamp is not mandatory.
Can I claim HRA under the new tax regime?

What if I pay rent to my parents?
You can pay rent to your parents and claim HRA exemption, provided the house is owned by them and you actually live there. Your parents must show this as rental income in their ITR.
How much HRA can I claim?
HRA exemption is the minimum of: actual HRA received, 50% of salary (metro) or 40% (non-metro), or actual rent paid minus 10% of salary.
