Quick Summary
To claim House Rent Allowance (HRA) for tax deductions, a rent receipt is generally mandatory. The landlord's PAN card details must be included on the receipt if the annual rent exceeds £1 lakh. If rent is paid below this threshold, the PAN may not be necessary. Landlords typically declare this rental income under the 'Income from house property' head.
