What are the important points to note about the rent

receipts?
Important points to note about the rent receipts:
The rent receipts for all the months for which you are claiming HRA is required to be submitted.
A revenue stamp is required to be affixed on rent receipts if cash payment is more than Rs.
5000/receipt. If rent is paid through cheque then revenue stamp is not needed.
If the annual rent paid exceeds Rs.1,00,000/year, it is compulsory to report PAN No of the landlord
to claim HRA exemption. If the landlord refuses to give his/her PAN No, then you can’t claim HRA for
the rent paid and your employer will deduct the TDS accordingly.
