Dadon / Advance to Farmer Agreement
Dadon / Advance to Farmer Agreement — this contract typically follows the general framework of this category in Bangladesh. Money changes hands between friends, family members, small business partners, and informal lenders every day in Bangladesh — often without any written record. That informality is exactly what causes bitter disputes months later over whether the money was a loan or a gift, what the interest was, and when it should be repaid. A short written loan / money-receipt agreement — signed by both parties with at least one witness — turns a fuzzy oral understanding into a legally enforceable record. It should state the exact amount (in figures and in words), whether interest applies and at what rate, the repayment schedule (lump-sum or installment), any collateral, and what happens on default.

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.
