District and sub-registrars in Bangladesh, responsible for both land registration and valuation, are facing allegations of long-term revenue fraud. Reports suggest that a network of officials and land grabbers has been manipulating land classifications to register high-value plots as low-value categories such as ‘nal’ land, depriving the government of millions in revenue. The issue has placed the registrars under scrutiny for allegedly aiding fraudulent land reclassification.
According to the Land Ministry, the government is planning to overhaul the traditional valuation process by expanding the valuation committees and including representatives from other ministries. Land Minister Mizanur Rahman Minu and Senior Secretary Saleh Ahmed confirmed that the ministry is working to bring all land-related services under one administrative framework to curb irregularities. Data from areas like Gulshan and Tejgaon show drastic differences in registration fees between land categories, highlighting the scale of potential revenue loss.
Experts and officials note that outdated land records and unlinked digital systems allow such discrepancies to persist. They suggest integrating land use data with registration systems to minimize tax evasion and improve transparency in land administration.
