Pursuant to Art. 42 of the Constitution of Bangladesh, no person other Bangladeshi citizens may hold ownership right over land in Bangladesh. The Transfer of Property Act 1882 and the Registration Act 1908 are the two main laws regulating transfer of property in Bangladesh. These two laws do not have any provisions related to foreigners, but provide for the transfer of property by a 'living person'  to one or more other 'living persons', which is defined to include a company or associations or body of individuals, whether incorporated or not. Legal practitioners point to uncertainties regarding the rights of foreign investors, including foreign-owned companies incorporated in Bangladesh, to own immovable property in the country. For the purposes of the OECD FDIRRI, drawing upon the interpretation of some legal practitioners and on the definition of 'foreign private investment' in the Foreign Private Investment (Promotion and Protection) Act, it is assumed that foreign investment in real estate assets is only permitted via a locally incorporated entity with the Registrar of Joint Stock Companies (RJSC).
"Rights to property
42. (1) Subject to any restrictions imposed by law, every citizen shall have the right to acquire, hold, transfer or otherwise dispose of property, and no property shall be compulsorily acquired, nationalised or requisitioned save by authority of law.
(2) A law made under clause (1) of this article shall provide for the acquisition, nationalisation or requisition with compensation and shall fix the amount of compensation or specify the principles on which, and the manner in which, the compensation is to be assessed and paid ; but no such law shall be called in question in any court on the ground that any provision of the law in respect of such compensation is not adequate.
