Questions
Does the file contain twelve receipts?
Yes. The Word document has one receipt for each month and prints two per page.
When is landlord PAN detail required?
Official rules require landlord name, address and PAN where aggregate rent paid during the tax year exceeds ₹1,00,000.
Does a rent receipt guarantee HRA exemption?
No. Actual payment, salary components, location, HRA received, tax regime and current law matter.
What if the landlord has no PAN?
Do not invent one. Ask the employer or a qualified tax professional what declaration and evidence the current rule requires.
Should I keep bank or cash-payment proof?
Yes. Keep reliable evidence of actual payment with the signed receipt.
