Land Transfer and Deed Registration in Bangladesh
A deed is only as good as its drafting and registration. A wrong schedule, a missing heir's signature or an unregistered bainanama can undo a transfer years later. We draft the deed, calculate the charges and see it through registration at the sub-registry.

Common questions
What does land registration cost in Bangladesh?
The total is the registration fee, stamp duty, local government tax and source tax. The rates depend on the land's location and deed value. Our registration cost guide has the current rates and a calculator.
Does a bainanama have to be registered?
Yes. An agreement for the sale of land must be registered. An unregistered bainanama cannot be used to make the seller complete the sale in court.
What is the difference between a saf kabala and a heba deed?
A saf kabala is a sale for a price. A heba is a gift without payment, usually within the family, and between close relatives the government charges are much lower than for a sale.
How do heirs divide land by deed?
All co-owners sign a bontonnama (partition deed) that gives each heir a defined plot, it is registered, and each heir then applies for namjari in their own name.
Do I need a written rent agreement?
Yes, a written agreement on stamp paper protects both landlord and tenant on rent, advance, repairs and notice, and makes any later dispute much easier to resolve.
Need a deed drafted and registered?
Tell us the transfer and we will work out the costs. We reply within 24 hours. A written assessment costs nothing.
