Land registration is the cornerstone of legally recognized land ownership in Bangladesh. It involves recording ownership details with the government registrar, backed by verified Revisional Survey (RS) and Cadastral Survey (CS) records. Registered land titles protect owners against fraudulent claims and enable legal recourse in disputes. Proper land registration is required for selling, mortgaging, or gifting property. The process includes preparing sale or gift deeds, paying stamp duty, and submitting documents for official registration. Without registration, landowners risk losing their property rights. Understanding the importance of land registration and maintaining accurate survey records ensures security and legal certainty for landowners.
