Consultant Agreement

Consultant Agreement — this contract typically follows the general framework of this category in Bangladesh. Bangladesh's SME employers, freelance clients, domestic households and factories all use employment agreements — a written appointment letter or a full employment contract — to fix salary, working hours, leave, notice periods, confidentiality, and the grounds and consequences of termination. A written contract turns the classic 'we agreed' disputes over unpaid salary, wrongful termination, or overreaching non-compete clauses into questions that can be settled on paper rather than at the labour tribunal. Whether it is a permanent staff appointment, a fixed-term consultant engagement, a freelance / gig contract, a domestic-worker arrangement, or a security-guard / driver contract, getting the essentials in writing at the start is what protects both sides later.

Stamp & registrationThe stamp duty and registration requirements for this specific agreement depend on the instrument type and the amount involved. Most ordinary private contracts run on Tk. 300 non-judicial stamp; certain instrument types (transfer of immovable property, leases exceeding one year, partnership deeds, gift deeds, etc.) require higher denominations or registration. Confirm the correct treatment for your specific situation with a lawyer before executing.

Frequently asked questions

Is a digital agreement on ChuktiQ legally valid in Bangladesh?: Yes — Sections 6 and 7 of the ICT Act, 2006 give electronic records and OTP-verified electronic signatures the same legal recognition as their paper equivalents. Two important exceptions apply: (a) documents that a specific statute requires to be executed on non-judicial stamp paper or registered — such as land sale / transfer deeds under the Registration Act — still need that stamp / registration in addition to the digital record; and (b) family-law instruments (marriage, divorce, will) follow their own governing statutes. Where either exception applies to your specific agreement, ChuktiQ shows a clear notice on that page.
What stamp duty and registration apply to this type of agreement?: That depends on the specific instrument type and, for many instruments, the amount involved — the Stamp Act, 1899 and the Registration Act, 1908 supply the rules.
