Are online generated rent agreements legal for HRA claims?

I am watching YouTube videos where they use websites like e-drafter to generate rent agreements. Also sites like magic bricks are also there to generate a rent agreement.

I want to know if the rent agreements generated via these sites are considered legal while filing ITR. This is my first time doing this.

Help appreciated!

A simple piece of paper that's says "I, A, rent my house to B for X amount" with both people's signs is a valid contract for tax purposes (provided its actually true, obviously). To take away the hyperbole, yes, it's perfectly acceptable. ~Lawyer

Do the companies know how your 'landlord' signs 😏

Have used rent agreements by NoBroker - worked for me.

For rent receipts you can just use Cleartax’s rent receipt generator and get it signed by the landlord.
