Common questions

FAQs.

Is a rent receipt needed to claim HRA?
Employers commonly ask for rent receipts or the rent agreement as proof. Your employer sets what it accepts; ask the payroll team.
When is the landlord PAN needed?
Where the yearly rent is above Rs 1,00,000, the employer generally asks for the landlord PAN. Check the current rule and your employer requirement.
Can a landlord give one receipt for the whole year?
Monthly receipts are the norm and are the safest proof. A single annual receipt is not standard, so check what your employer accepts.
