When you need it

A landlord letting an office, shop, godown or other commercial premises uses this to acknowledge a rent payment actually received from a business tenant. Unlike the residential Rent Receipt elsewhere in this library, this one asks whether the landlord is GST-registered, because that fact changes what the receipt should say: a GST-registered landlord should be issuing a proper tax invoice for the rent — use the Commercial Rent Invoice (GST) for that — and this receipt then only acknowledges that the invoiced amount was paid; an unregistered landlord charges no GST at all, on any rent, however large, and this receipt says so plainly instead of pretending otherwise.

Also flags, without resolving, the reverse-charge question that can arise on commercial rent in particular fact patterns — see the reverse-charge field below and lawyerShouldCheck. Confirm the actual position with a tax professional before relying on this receipt as the last word on whether GST, or reverse-charge GST, applies to a given rent payment. Not for residential renting, which this library's plain Rent Receipt already covers, generally without a GST question at all.

What follows is written for Punjab and Chandigarh. It states the position there rather than describing how it varies, so the amounts below are the ones that apply — worth confirming at the sub-registrar’s office, because rates change. If the property is anywhere else in India, none of this is yours.

Stamp duty

A receipt for rent is ordinarily outside the stamp duty net in both Punjab and Chandigarh: it acknowledges a payment already due under an existing lease and creates no new right. Where a specific receipt for a sum of money is separately chargeable under the Indian Stamp Act, 1899 on the facts of a particular office's practice, confirm the current position before relying on this template as duty-free in every case.

Registration

Not registrable in either place — section 17 of the Registration Act, 1908 has no application to a rent receipt.

Notarisation

Not required in either place.

Witnesses

Not required in either place.

COMMERCIAL RENT RECEIPT

Received from Northline Analytics Private Limited the sum of ₹1,77,000 (Rupees One Lakh Seventy Seven Thousand only) towards rent for SCO 120-121, First Floor, Sector 34-A, Chandigarh, for the period 1 April 2026 to 2 April 2026.

Payment mode: Bank transfer / NEFT / RTGS. Reference: UTR N026250918000112.

GST POSITION

The landlord is GST-registered, and a tax invoice for this rent has been, or will be, separately issued

Landlord GSTIN: 04ABCDE1234F1Z5.

This receipt relates to tax invoice No. SE/26-27/0041.

REVERSE CHARGE

The parties have confirmed no reverse-charge notification applies to this rent, and GST, where chargeable, is accounted for by the landlord under the forward charge

This receipt is an acknowledgement of payment and, where the landlord is GST-registered, is not itself the tax invoice for the rent — see the Commercial Rent Invoice (GST) for that document. Where GST reverse charge is later found to apply differently from the position recorded above, the parties should true up the tax treatment between themselves and, where necessary, with their tax advisers, rather than treat this receipt as conclusive.

Date: 2 April 2026
