HRA exemption — quick rules

Under the old tax regime, the HRA exemption is the lowest of: (1) HRA actually received, (2) rent paid minus 10% of basic salary + DA, and (3) 50% of basic + DA in Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Pune or Ahmedabad (40% elsewhere) — the last four cities were added from FY 2026-27. The new rules also ask you to disclose your relationship with the landlord. Work it out with our HRA exemption calculator and compare regimes with the income tax calculator.

Paying rent to parents is allowed if they actually own the home and declare the rent as income. Paying rent to your spouse is generally not accepted by the tax department.

FAQ

Why do I need rent receipts?

Salaried employees who live in a rented home can claim HRA exemption under the old tax regime. Employers usually ask for rent receipts as proof — often monthly or quarterly — before they reduce TDS.

Is the landlord’s PAN required?

If the rent you pay is more than ₹1,00,000 in a financial year (about ₹8,333 a month), your employer will ask for your landlord’s PAN. If the landlord has no PAN, a signed declaration from the landlord is needed.

Do rent receipts need a revenue stamp?

A ₹1 revenue stamp is needed on a receipt for a cash payment of more than ₹5,000. Payments by bank transfer or UPI do not need a stamp, but many employers still prefer it.

Can I claim HRA under the new tax regime?

No. HRA exemption is available only under the old tax regime. Use our income tax calculator to compare both regimes.

Are online rent receipts valid?

Yes, a receipt is valid as long as it has the correct details and is signed by the landlord. Print the receipts, get them signed, and keep a copy of your bank or UPI transfers as extra proof.
