Good to know
Get them signed
A rent receipt is valid proof only when signed by the landlord. For cash payments above ₹5,000, affix and sign across a ₹1 revenue stamp.
Keep a rent agreement
Employers and the tax department may also ask for a rent agreement, especially for higher rents or when paying rent to family.
Paying rent to parents
You can claim HRA on rent paid to parents if it is genuine — transfer the rent, keep receipts, and they must declare it as income.
