rent receipt is sufficient ya but you actually transfer the amount to your mother account and your mother shows the exact anount of rent received as income from house property so that at the time of your assessment you don't get trouble.

Rental agreement is not necessary
YOUR COMPANY may Ask PAN CARD COPY OF YOUR OWNER
See subclause 9 in clause 5.3
in circular 8/2012, dated 5/10/2012
You can confirm with following circular

Agreement is not required to be obtained, only Rent Reciept is sufficent.The employer may ask to give PAN of Landlord if the Rental amount exceeds Rs.1.8 Lacs(p.a). Further, the one is not require to submit rent reciept if Rent is below Rs3000/- P.M
