What changes
The browser creates a new PDF without uploading the form, logo or signature. It does not record a payment with a bank, employer or government portal.

Payment acknowledgement — not a tax invoiceThis does not replace a GST tax invoice or statutory GST advance receipt voucher.
Create a payment receipt or an HRA rent receipt
Acknowledge a payment, or prepare one consolidated rent receipt or up to 12 monthly receipts, with amount in words and signature space in a locally generated PDF.
For a reliable result
- Choose payment receipt or rent receipt, then enter the receipt number, date and parties.
- Record the amount, payment mode and reference; for rent, choose the property and monthly period.
- Review the PAN, cash-stamp and rent-TDS reminders before creating and downloading the PDF.
Check the download
Confirm the payer, amount, payment reference, rent period and property address, then obtain the issuer or landlord's genuine signature where required.
Know before processing
The payment receipt is not a GST tax invoice or statutory GST advance receipt voucher. HRA evidence and stamp-duty requirements can vary by employer, payment method and state; the tool provides reminders rather than legal or tax advice.
Quick answers
- Is the payment receipt a GST tax invoice?
- No. It only acknowledges money received. It does not calculate GST and does not replace a tax invoice or the statutory receipt voucher a registered supplier may need for an advance payment.
- When should a rent receipt include the landlord's PAN?
- For HRA proof, landlord PAN is normally furnished when aggregate rent paid during the financial year exceeds ₹1,00,000. The tool warns from the selected receipt total, so include rent outside that period when checking the threshold. It never imitates a revenue stamp: use a genuine stamp where applicable and obtain the landlord's actual signature.
Record a payment or rent acknowledgement and check each receipt
Prepare one payment acknowledgement, individual monthly rent receipts or one consolidated rent receipt. Amounts are expressed in INR with an amount-in-words line.
The PDF does not establish that money changed hands. Match its amount, recipient, date and reference with the records and have the issuer or landlord verify it. A typed name, reference or signature image does not independently confirm payment.
Choose the receipt structure that matches the records
| Your situation | Recommended approach |
|---|---|
| You are acknowledging one non-rent payment | Choose Payment receipt and enter the amount received, purpose, payer and issuer. Use an actual payment reference when the selected mode requires one. |
| The same rent amount applies across several months | Choose Rent receipt and One receipt per month. The tool repeats the monthly amount and assigns consecutive receipt numbers; check every month separately. |
| You need one acknowledgement for the selected rent period | Choose One consolidated receipt. The amount is monthly rent multiplied by the inclusive month count, not a calculation of partial months or arrears. |
| Rent amounts, payment dates or parties differ | Prepare separate documents matching the actual transactions. One rent run uses a shared monthly amount, issue date, payment mode and parties. |
Check three monthly rent receipts totalling INR 15,000
The receipt-rent-receipt-maker-example.json file contains fictional manual-entry values. It is a reference sheet, not an import file, and the example does not acknowledge a real rental payment.
- Choose Rent receipt and One receipt per month. Set Receipt number to RENT-EX-001, landlord to Example Landlord and tenant to Example Tenant. Copy their fictional addresses from the JSON reference.
- Set Receipt date to 2026-09-07, First rent month to July 2026 and Last rent month to September 2026.
- If the browser displays month fields as text instead of a month picker, enter 2026-07 and 2026-09 in YYYY-MM format.
- Enter Monthly rent 5000 and choose Cash. Copy the sample property address, set Place to Bengaluru and Notes to Synthetic example only - not a real transaction. Leave signature and logo images empty.
- Select Create rent receipt PDF. Check the result's receipt count and total, then open both PDF pages.
- Confirm July, August and September each appear once with INR 5,000, and inspect the consecutive receipt numbers and common issue date.
Expected result. Three monthly receipts total INR 15,000 and occupy two A4 pages because monthly mode places two receipts per page. These are separate monthly acknowledgements, not three different payment dates or proof of three verified payments.
Check the downloaded result
- Compare figures and amount in words with the actual payment record. Monthly and consolidated modes display different per-receipt amounts even when their document total matches.
- Check receipt numbers against your own register. The tool increments trailing digits for monthly receipts but does not know whether those numbers were already issued.
- For monthly references, enter one reference per month in order and inspect the association. Blank lines are discarded, so a blank spacer does not reserve a missing month's position.
- Inspect addresses, references, notes and signature areas in the downloaded PDF. A common note is printed on each rent receipt with a two-line limit; longer notes end in an ellipsis. Other space-limited text can also be shortened, so retain full supporting records separately.
Troubleshooting
- The rent total differs from the amount received
The calculation uses one monthly rent multiplied by all selected months, including both the first and last month.
Try this: Check the period and amount. Use separate receipts for variable rent, part-month amounts or other adjustments rather than forcing them into one uniform monthly setting.
- A payment reference is missing or attached to the wrong month
Monthly mode takes non-empty reference lines in order; it does not match dates or transaction identifiers automatically.
Try this: Review the references against the month list. If some months have no available reference, prepare separate verified records instead of relying on blank lines to preserve alignment.
- The receipt will not generate
Required party details, a positive amount, a valid month range or a required payment reference may be missing. A rent batch is limited to twelve months.
Try this: Follow the field errors. Keep the last month on or after the first and use receipt numbers of at most 24 letters, numbers, hyphens or slashes.
- A name or address is rejected or shortened
The PDF path supports English letters, numbers and limited punctuation, with bounded space for printed fields.
Try this: Use a suitable document workflow when the required script or complete address cannot be preserved. Do not silently change identities or omit important details just to obtain an export.
Limits and compatibility
- Review reminders
- PAN, stamp and rent-TDS prompts use the entered amounts and selected period. They are not a full assessment of current obligations, payment history or applicable exceptions. An absent warning does not establish compliance.
- Local document creation
- The form has no saved-draft, receipt register or JSON-import feature. Optional JPG/PNG logo and signature images are limited to 2 MB each. Keep the PDF and original payment evidence before leaving the session.
Your files and form values are processed on this device. Downloaded copies remain wherever you save them. See how to check local processing and our privacy policy for site data and optional services.
Common questions
- Does a payment receipt replace a tax invoice?
- This output is a payment acknowledgement, not a tax invoice. Use the appropriate separately reviewed document when a transaction also needs an invoice.
- Does adding a signature image verify the issuer?
- No. It places a visible image in the document. Use it only with authorisation and arrange the issuer's actual review; this is not certificate-backed signing.
