Rent receipt format in Tamil (வாடகை ரசீது)
By Giridhar Reddy, founder of Domvio, Bengaluru

A Tamil rent receipt needs the same details as an English one: tenant and landlord names, property address, amount, rent period, payment mode and date, and the landlord's signature, plus the landlord's PAN once yearly rent crosses ₹1 lakh. Print Tamil receipts with the free generator below, or copy the plain format.
Tamil rent receipt generator
The generator is set to Tamil. Fill in the form once and it makes one receipt per month, with Tamil month names such as ஏப்ரல் and அக்டோபர். Each label also shows the English word in brackets, and the amount in words stays in English, so a payroll team in Chennai or anywhere else can read it.
The receipt generator needs JavaScript. Turn it on, or copy the Tamil rent receipt format below and fill it in by hand.
Press Print / Save as PDF and choose Save as PDF in the print window. Tamil script prints with the fonts already on your phone or computer; check the first page in the print preview before you save.
Tamil rent receipt format to copy
Copy this into a document or a receipt book, make one copy per month and have the landlord sign each one. The English words in brackets can stay; they help if the tenant's employer reads only English.

Will an employer accept a rent receipt in Tamil?
Income tax rules ask for proof of rent paid, not for a particular language. In practice, payroll teams in Tamil Nadu see Tamil receipts often, but a team in another city may ask for English. A receipt with both languages, which is what the generator prints, avoids that question. The rules on the PAN and the revenue stamp are the same in every language; they are explained on the main rent receipt format page.
Receipt for rent, not for the advance
In Tamil Nadu the security deposit is called the அட்வான்ஸ் (advance), and it is often several months' rent. Do not put it on a monthly rent receipt. Give a separate signed note for the advance, saying the amount, the date and that it is refundable as per the agreement. A tenant on ஒத்தி (othi, a lump-sum lease) pays no monthly rent, so monthly receipts do not apply to them.
- வாடகை (vaadagai): rent, the only amount that goes on this receipt.
- EB bill: if the tenant pays electricity through you, give a separate note or list it on its own line. HRA covers rent only.
- ரொக்கம் (rokkam): cash. Cash receipts above ₹5,000 need the ₹1 revenue stamp.

Can the amount in words be in Tamil?
You can write it by hand in Tamil if you prefer. The generator keeps it in English, such as "Rupees Fifteen Thousand Only", because that is what most payroll teams check against.
Do I need a revenue stamp on a Tamil rent receipt?
Only when rent above ₹5,000 is paid in cash. UPI, bank transfer and cheque payments need no stamp, in any language.
Is this Tamil receipt generator free?
Yes. It runs in your browser, needs no sign-up, and nothing you type is sent to Domvio.
