Employers usually require rent receipts to allow HRA exemption, especially when monthly rent exceeds a set amount. A receipt with the required details is sufficient.
Do I need a revenue stamp on a rent receipt?
A revenue stamp is generally required when a single cash payment exceeds Rs 5,000. Digital and bank payments usually do not need one.

Yes. The Rentrm rent receipt generator is free and produces a print-ready PDF.
