Registration of property gift and donation deeds has been suspended in several parts of Bangladesh for days due to complications arising from the newly imposed donation tax and the introduction of automated e-challan payment systems. The lack of prior understanding of the e-challan process has also led to a sharp decline in the number of sale deeds, reportedly falling to half of previous levels. Overall, deed registration activity at sub-registrar offices has dropped to one-third of normal, resulting in reduced government revenue.
To address the confusion, the National Board of Revenue (NBR) issued a clarification circular on Tuesday. The circular explains that under the Income Tax Act 2023 and the Withholding Tax Rules 2026, donation tax must be collected via e-challan for property transfers through gifts or donations, but not for sales. It also specifies that land tax receipts must show payment for fiscal year 2026–27, and certain urban property transactions require submission of income tax returns before registration.
Officials expressed hope that the clarification will resolve confusion and restore normal registration activities soon.
