Land Registration Power of Attorney
Land Registration Power of Attorney — this contract typically follows the general framework of this category in Bangladesh. Land is Bangladesh's most litigated asset — a large majority of civil disputes in the country's courts are ultimately about a piece of land. That is precisely why every land transaction deserves a properly drafted written agreement long before any money changes hands: a Bainanama (sale-agreement / earnest-money contract) when a buyer commits, a Saf Kabala (final sale deed) when title actually transfers, a Bantonnama (partition deed) when heirs divide inherited property, a Heba (gift) when land is given without consideration, and so on. The critical rule to remember: for most land instruments the written agreement is only the first step — the Registration Act requires a further step at the Sub-Registrar's office before ownership legally transfers.

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. Most ordinary private contracts (loan notes, service agreements, MOUs, NDAs, general contracts) run on Tk. 300 non-judicial stamp with no registration. Certain instrument types have higher requirements — partnership deeds, sale or purchase of immovable property, leases longer than one year, gift deeds, powers of attorney used for property transfer, and others. Before executing this specific agreement, confirm the correct stamp denomination and any registration formality with a lawyer, especially if any significant value or long-term commitment is involved.
