Baina registration fee calculator
The smallest fee in the registration system, and since 2026 the one with the sharpest deadline. The fee itself is three brackets; what changed is that the agreement now has to be registered within 60 days of signing.
The brackets (Registration Act, section 78A(a)): agreed value up to ৳5 lakh → ৳500 · above ৳5 lakh up to ৳50 lakh → ৳1,000 · above ৳50 lakh → ৳2,000. So a property at ৳4,00,000 costs ৳500 to baina, one at ৳40,00,000 costs ৳1,000, and one at ৳75,00,000 costs ৳2,000.
Calculate the baina registration fee
Why the baina matters more than its fee suggests
The baina is the moment the deal becomes a registered fact: it records the parties, the property and the agreed price before the balance is paid and the deed is drawn. An unregistered baina is a private paper; a registered one fixes the transaction in the public record — and since the 2026 amendment, the window to register it is 60 days, not open-ended. Agree in the baina itself who bears each registration charge on the eventual deed; that one clause settles most of the arguments that otherwise happen at the sub-registry. The land calculator and flat calculator work out what that deed will cost.
Questions
How much does it cost to register a baina (agreement for sale)?
The registration fee is set by section 78A(a) of the Registration Act in three brackets on the agreed value: ৳500 up to ৳5 lakh, ৳1,000 above ৳5 lakh up to ৳50 lakh, and ৳2,000 above ৳50 lakh. Small office charges (e-fee, copying) are added at the sub-registry.
What changed about baina registration in 2026?
The deadline. An agreement for sale must now be registered within 60 days of execution (section 17A(2), as amended by the Registration (Amendment) Act 2026). In city corporation, pourashava and cantonment areas, both parties must also produce proof of submission of an income tax return (PSR) before the baina can be registered.
Does the baina fee count towards the deed cost later?
No — the baina fee is the cost of registering the agreement itself. When the sale deed follows, it carries its own full charges (registration fee, stamp duty, local government tax and the seller’s source tax), which the land and flat calculators on this site work out.
