Introduction:
Buying land in Bangladesh? Don’t forget about registration and mutation — two critical legal steps to secure your ownership.
Key Differences:
- Registration:
Done at the Sub-Registrar’s office after purchase. It’s the legal proof of the sale transaction. - Mutation:
Updates the government records and transfers ownership in the land revenue system.
Registration Steps:
- Verify land records (Khatian, Deed, RS/CS records)
- Draft sale agreement
- Pay registration fee and stamp duty
- Register at the Sub-Registrar office
Mutation Steps:
- Submit application with registered deed
- Include seller’s mutation, national ID, land tax receipt
- Apply at the local AC (Land) office
- Follow up and receive DCR (Duplicate Carbon Receipt)
Conclusion:
Proper land registration and mutation protect your legal ownership. Need assistance? Our experienced land lawyers are here to help.
