How to make rent receipts

  1. Choose the rent period. For one receipt, set the same first and last month. For a year, pick January and December (or April to March).
  2. Enter the monthly rent, the day it is usually paid and how it is paid.
  3. Add the landlord's and the tenant's details and the address of the rented property.
  4. Add the landlord's signature (draw it or upload a picture), or print the PDF and sign each page by hand.
  5. Download the PDF. Every month is on its own page with its own receipt number.

What a rent receipt should show

  • A receipt number and the date the rent was received
  • The month the rent is for
  • The amount and how it was paid
  • The landlord's name (and address), and the tenant's name
  • The address of the rented property
  • The landlord's signature

Why rent receipts are worth keeping

For a tenant, rent receipts are proof that the rent was paid on time. They are often needed to claim a tax allowance on rent, for a loan or visa application, or if there is ever a disagreement about payments. Paying by bank transfer helps too, but a receipt clearly says which month a payment was for.

For a landlord, giving receipts keeps your rental income records clear for your tax return, and it shows tenants you run things properly.

Example: rent of 15,000 per month, paid in cash on the 5th, from April 2026 to March 2027.

The PDF has 12 pages: RR-1 for April 2026 dated 5 April, RR-2 for May … up to RR-12 for March 2027. Total for the year: 180,000.

Frequently asked questions

Can I make receipts for a whole year at once?

Yes. Set the first month and the last month (up to 24 months). The PDF has one receipt per page, each with its own number and date.

Who should sign a rent receipt?

The landlord, or the person who received the rent on the landlord's behalf. You can draw the signature or upload a picture of it, or print the receipts and sign them by hand.

Why would a tenant need rent receipts?

Tenants often need proof of rent paid for a tax allowance (for example HRA in India), for a visa or loan application, or simply in case of a dispute about payments.

Should I add the landlord's tax number?

Only if your country asks for it. In India, for example, an HRA claim needs the landlord's PAN once the yearly rent is above ₹1 lakh. Add it in the optional field if it applies to you.
