Question 1

Are Nexlease rent receipts valid for HRA tax exemption?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Nexlease auto-generates monthly rent receipts that include all the fields the Income Tax Department and employers require for HRA exemption: tenant name, owner name + PAN, property address, rent amount, payment date, payment mode, and the registered Leave & License agreement reference number. Receipts are accepted by all major Indian employers and the Income Tax Department.

Question 2

Do I need the owner's PAN on the rent receipt?

Accepted Answer

Yes — if your annual rent exceeds ₹1 lakh (₹8,333/month). Nexlease captures the owner's PAN during KYC verification at agreement signing and prints it on every monthly receipt automatically. You don't need to chase the owner for PAN proof at tax time.

Question 3

How often are receipts generated?

Accepted Answer

Automatically every month — on the rent due date set in your agreement (typically 1st, 5th, or 10th of the month). The receipt is emailed to you, sent via WhatsApp, and stored permanently in your Nexlease dashboard. You can download all receipts for the financial year as a single PDF at tax time.

Question 4

What if I pay rent late or in advance?

Accepted Answer

The receipt records the actual payment date — not the due date — so if you pay early or late, the receipt reflects reality. Multiple months paid together (common for quarterly cycles) generate multiple receipts dated to each rent period covered.

Question 5

Can I get receipts for past months too?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For Nexlease tenants on a digital agreement, all monthly receipts since agreement start are available for download in the tenant dashboard. You can also generate a consolidated annual receipt summary for ITR filing.

Question 6

What if my landlord refuses to sign the receipt?

Accepted Answer

Nexlease receipts are auto-signed digitally on the owner's behalf as part of the agreement — owners pre-authorize this at signing. No chasing required. This is one of the most common rental friction points (especially in Mumbai), and Nexlease automates it away.
