From few days we are facing too much queries about the motorbike registration
process due to sudden announcement from government where after January 1 st,
2016 no vehicle therefore motorbike will not be allowed on the road without
proper registration. Consequently we are herewith the current Motorcycle
registration procedure in Bangladesh. Let’s try to answer your queries in detail
though this feed therefore head in the detail procedure.
Import document
Customs clearance
Gate pass
VAT-11 documents of both importer & dealer
Treasury Chalan from Sonali Bank for both importer & dealer
Cash memo
Owner voter ID card copy
You have to collect the entire document set from the dealer where you have
purchased the bike. If you want to complete the whole registration process of
your own, then be sure of receiving the entire set of the documents from the
dealer. Often the dealers used to give the incomplete set of documents to the
purchaser to put them in hassle and make the buyer agree to give them the
responsibility of registration with paying some extra money. Yes the registration
process is quite hassling; but if you receive all the documents on the time of
purchasing the bike, we think you will enjoy the hassling task and of-course learn
something.
Hence after getting the full set of documents, collect the three paged
vehicle registration form from the BRTA office or their website. Fill up the form
with applicant & vehicle data. This form is the application form with which other
documents will be attached. Check the total set of documents including the
application form by the related BRTA office. If they verified the application set as
okey then they will give you an assessment slip (Money Deposit Slip) filling up
your vehicle information mentioning with the related charges & fees. Don’t forget
to get the officials signature & seal on the assessment slip.

Amount
All the fees and charges are applicable for 15% of VAT. So you have to deposit
the amount including the VAT. You can also calculate the charges & fees of your
bike from BRTA website through http://www.brta.gov.bd/cal/motorcycle.php link
very easily. And not to worry as the BRTA official will mention the appropriate
fees & charges on the assessment slip where you have to deposit the same at the
Bank.
At that time they will put your identity and active mobile number at their
documents and that is very important. After getting these documents you may
ride your bike on the road; but you need to get finished the process by getting
digital Blue-Book and Number-Plate.
So guys those were the entire procedure of the registration of a new bike. But
there is another query of you remaining which we think need to clarify separately.
The bikes which are registered previously and have no RFID chip mounted
number plate will not be eligible to roll on the road from January 1 st of 2016 as
per recent government announcement. In such case you have to apply for RFID
digital number plate and digital registration certificate (smart card) from BRTA.
Therefore for this issue let’s see the procedure.
Collect assessment slip (money deposit slip) from BRTA. Fill up the owner
and vehicle data as mentioned on current blue-book.
Get the seal and signature of the BRTA official on that slip. The official will
also mention the applicable fees & charges with the specific deposit head on the
slip.
Deposit the fees with the assessment slip at suggested Bank. On deposit
booth give your active mobile number for the entry at BRTA database. They will
provide you a printed money receipt.
Submit the money receipt with the photocopy of your old blue-book at
BRTA.
After the money deposit and money receipt submission at BRTA you will be
called at BRTA for the submission of your Biometric Identity therefore your
photograph, finger impression & signature through a mobile massage to the
number which you have provided at the time of money deposit.
Provide you Biometrics at BRTA on the date noticed by the mobile
massage.
After that process BRTA will notice you again through mobile massage to
collect your RFID number plate and Smart registration card with specific date &
time.
On the appointed date keep the attested photocopy of your current
registration card or the blue book, tax token, acknowledgment slip, money
receipt with you; and take your vehicle there to receive the RFID Number Plate
and Smart registration Card.
Most of the time this process takes around a month to complete; but if it
take more time you can query calling the number 6969 or put a massage with the
format NP<space>A<space>Date which is like NP A 00 (here 00 is the current
date like 11 or 30) for a appointment. The return massage will instruct you the
rest.
The current fees for the Digital Registration Certificate (Smart Card) is BDT
2200.00 And for Retro-Reflective RFID Number Plate is BDT 540.00 where all the
charges applicable for 15% of VAT. Therefore the total charges will be BDT
2815.00 Without these fees & charges there may some dues of the VAT on the
old registered numbers, which has registered after 2010 and hadn’t paid VAT on
that time. There is no way to avoid these previous dues of VAT as those are
mentioned as due under the related registration number. Without paying the
previous dues no new fee or charges will be accepted by the software of BRTA.
So you have to pay the entire .
So guys, these are the process. Hope it will be helpful for you while you move
forward for the bike registration and deal with the upcoming government
requirements. We just have elaborated the core procedure of
” Motorcycle Registration Procedure In Bangladesh ” where it changes a little
time to time and varies a little at different zone of BRTA; but the process are
same everywhere. Don’t forget to share your real time experiences with us
considering this issue, so that other can learn from your experience and deal well
with more confidence. Thanks.
In every country there is a road authority in the same way Bangladesh has one
too.A Bangladeshi person is dependable on BRTA for his motorcycle driving
license in Bangladesh by BRTA we mean Bangladesh Road Transport authority.
Before getting a license a person has to go through various steps & he has to
follow different rules and regulation which are compulsory.
To get a driving license a person has to give a test for getting a learner’s license
because without it he wontbe able to get the original one.And that license also
includes a fixed date when he will have to go through a test under BRTA. A
learner’s license form includes name,father’s name,address,his date of birth,blood
group,than the organisation’s name with address.

License number and date of the organization,and with the license he will have to
attach the document of fees,document of age verification,and address
verification document.and he will have to include a medical document with
it,which will include many questions about the person’s health and habits. in both
the form he will have to attach his photos and give his signature.
After getting the learner’s license he will have to appear a test under BRTA as we
know so in that test he will be asked questions about traffic regulations and in
practical test he will have to drive through marked areas without any deviation. It
can also be driving in a slope,soits quite hard for a beginner to give this test. A
result is given by the instructor whether he is capable to get a license or not and
it totally depends on its scores. And after passing the test,he can legally drive a
motorcycle.

In the above lines we just talked about the main procedure but except it a person
have to be capable in many other things.Such as a person has to be both
mentally and physically strong.because we all know that driving isn’t that much
easy.it creates pressure in our minds and pain in our body. Also he has to be
good at watching and hearing only than he will be able to see and drive properly
and hear other things,only then he will be able to save himself from a accident
Only determination can help a person to learn driving.If someone have a strong
determination he can learn driving within 2 weeks but if someone doesn’t have
strong determination he/she cannot learn driving properly even in a month.
A person will get the license or not totally depends on the test,hisskills,his
determination can make him pass through the test.and then BRTA will decide
whether he deserves a license or not,so to get a license a person has to impress
them in his test.
Fees
The officials of BANGLADESH ROAD TRANSPORT AUTHORITY expressed their
hope that it would be possible to set digital number plates on all vehicles within
a year though this work is mostly depends on the professionalism of BRTA
officials. They expect that they would be able to set up digital number plates on
1000 to 1500 motor vehicle per day. And government already declared the use of
retro-reflective number plate compulsory for all existing vehicles. The fee for a
pair of digital number plate for motorcycle and three-wheeler vehicles was fixed
at tk 1805. The fees for a pair of digital number plates for heavy, medium vehicles
including buses, minibuses, trucks and cars were fixed at Tk 3,652. The fees for
motorcycle were fixed at Tk 1850. Fees of digital number plates will be
deposited at the selected branches of BRAC Bank, South East Bank and United
Commercial Bank.
Though it’s the most modern and technically advanced number plate ever used in
Bangladesh but it has enough scope to improve. Specially the performance of
number plate extraction needs to improve. Otherwise in rainy season it will create
problems which will be a big threat for vehicle safety. We know that it is an one
time plate so if you try to change or modify it you will need to destroy it. The
main purpose of using digital number plate is to ensure the security of your
bike. If you attach digital number plate in your motorcycle it will definitely
increase the safety of your bike. Keep in mind that attachment of digital number
plate in your bike is not your choice, government made it compulsory for all
existing vehicle including bikes. So grab your digital number plate as soon as
possible and go digital !
In simple word insurance is a safety arrangement which will share your risk. It is
actually a modified form of risk management which ensures the proper financial
support in right time. An insurance company is the seller of insurance and policy
holder is the person who bought insurance from the company. The company
charges a certain amount from the policy holder which called the premium.
Insurance policy is a contract between the policy holder and the company where
details of all conditions will be described. So when you buy insurance at first ask
for their insurance policy. Motorcycle Insurance In Bangladesh is a complete
article about bike insurance and I know many of you acknowledged about this
but it can be helpful for the new bikers. In motorcycle Insurance In
Bangladesh I mentioned that there are various types of insurance. But you need
know which one is suitable for you. There are three types of bike insurance such
as type one, type two and type three. In motorcycle Insurance In Bangladesh I
will describe the all three types. All three types of insurance are prepared for
Bangladeshi vehicles. If you select one of type one or type two insurance you
need to pay high premium. But this will give you more safety than any other type.
Because if you select one from in this two types you will get the full
compensation (ক্ষতিপূরণ) according to the company policy. That means if your
bike face any destruction in road accidents you will get money. I already
mentioned in motorcycle Insurance In Bangladesh that it just a financial help.
Generally new bike owners are seen to take this type of insurance. Because they
do not want to take any risk for their new bike and that’s why they have a
tendency to take type one or type two. And another one is type three. For this
type, companies do not pay any compensation. Generally reconditioned bike
owners select this type of insurance package. In motorcycle Insurance In
Bangladesh it needs to mention that premium for third type is very low and
that’s the main reason why people select it. So be aware about selecting your
insurance policy.
Most of the bike owner generally seen to take the third type because of its low
fees. You can buy a third type insurance only at 200 tk with the duration of one
year. After one year you can renew it by paying 200 tk with vat total 225 tk.
Though driving license and bike license are necessary for insurance but most of
the companies of Bangladesh start the process without asking this.
In some situation when you are known enough about the whole procedure for
getting any job done from some worse place like BRTA then it gets quite easy to
work it out. So today we are herewith Motorcycle Ownership Transfer Process

Submit all the documents to the related BRTA desk. The official will inquiry
the papers and keep the related documents for official activities and return you
the rest with a acknowledgement slip mentioning approximate date of issue of
new blue book & new digital number plate.
Most of the situation BRTA official will return you the original copies of

So riders here are the detailed formalities & procedure of Ownership Transfer for
motorbike from BRTA. But in real situation it is not so easy to get it done &
simultaneously it is not so difficult to get it done from BRTA if you apply some
technical approach. So let look over the technical approaches to get your job
done quite easily.
Before the official process collect the forms directly from BRTA office.
Generally forms are distributed free for all. But in BRTA you may have to pay
some lump some money for the forms at office or from the office attendant.
Talk with the official or the attendant about the whole process whom you
have paid for the forms. Most of the situation he may help you for all the
formalities for a lump some (unethical) fees. You may contact with him for the
job. As it is unethical, so we don’t support & encourage such way. But in reality it
is hassle free way to get your job done. This type of people may help you for
completing all the formalities like non-judicial stamp collection, printing the
contact on stamp, affidavit from notary public, money deposit in bank, getting
filled up all the forms and also the submission of documents in BRTA.
In such case you have to be sure for the fees deposit in Bank and have to
known about the whole process, so that he can’t fraud you. Most of the time they
do not do such fraud as this service is their regular (unethical) business.
Ok riders that’s it. We have discussed the entire process in details, and just
consciously skipped the fees of related process at BRTA as those changes
frequently. It is better to hear it from BRTA or from their website for the latest.
We wanted to give you the total scenario of the whole process, and also
described the real situation.
But we wish & inspire you not go for the unethical way for Motorcycle
Ownership Transfer Process In Bangladesh. Better you do your job with your
own capability and help to reduce the corruption in Government offices. Maybe
initiative taken by you can introduce the end of the corruption in our offices. So
do your own as you are the rider & you have to ride your own. Best of luck.

First we should make clear as here we are talking about the motorcycle
documents which are necessary to ride motorcycle legally on the road. We are
talking about the registration certificate, tax token and insurance documents. So
if those or one of those somehow lost or stolen then what you should have to do
here is the discussion on that. So let’s head in.
If Motorcycle Document Lost – The Insurance
Paper
When any of motorcycle document lost the first step for the owner is making a
GD (General Diary) in nearest police station. For insurance document it’s not
mandatory as in case of motorcycle insurance is only like an official formality. It
carries no value in real even facing any accidental situation.
Therefore if the insurance document lost you can claim the duplicate copy from
the related insurance office. In such case if you want to claim for duplicate you
have to submit there police GD copy in evidence of lost. But it is easier to get
new insurance paper rather than getting duplicate copy. And getting a new
insurance paper doesn’t cost much you know.
If Motorcycle Registration Certificate Lost
Motorcycle registration certificate is the most valued motorcycle document for
riding legally on the road. If somehow it lost then immediately owner have to
make GD at the nearest police station. Please don’t do delay on getting the GD.
After getting the GD copy you have to apply for duplicate registration certificate
to the related BRTA office. You can’t apply to any other BRTA rather than the
related BRTA where the bike registered.
You have to collect the duplicate registration form, specimen signature form and
money deposit form BRTA. Get the forms dully filled by required information of
bike and owner. Then get the fees amount marked on the deposit form by BRTA
official for correct amount of deposit. Then deposit the fees to the related bank
or booth and get the computer printed deposit slip.
When depositing fees for duplicate registration certificate owner may have to
deposit other fees if there any due shows. It occurs in case of older registered
bike with paper registration certificate and which have no RFID number plate. In
present it is mandatory to get smart card registration certificate and RFID number
plate for all type of motorcycle. So BRTA software shows those fees due under
such registration account.
So when depositing fee if such due shows under that registration number you
should have pay that. Again get marked all the related fees accurately from BRTA
official in deposit form.
Hence another thing is you have to get clearance certificate from related traffic
office. They will give you clearance certificate if you have no traffic related case
on that vehicle. Therefore getting GD copy, bank deposit slip and traffic clearance
you have to submit your papers at BRTA. So here is the list below of the related
documents to make your application.
Therefore after arranging all the documents submit the same at related BRTA
official desk. After a certain period of submission of your documents you will be
notified through mobile phone massage and instruct for the necessary steps and
status.
Related BRTA office is individually capable to give you the print of duplicate tax
token. If your application and documents are ok then they will give you the
duplicate print of Tax Token instantly. It requires no additional charges or fees.
So guys here were all about out discussion on getting duplicate documents for
motorcycle. Wish at least we could give you the idea about your steps if
somehow your motorcycle documents lost. The process was previously quite
puzzled and hassle full. But this days it got easier but still it time consuming. But
keep patience and follow the procedure.
Therefore we encourage you to do this job at your own. We also encourage not
to make any unauthorized transaction for help from any of official or non official
of BRTA. Just do it your own. Therefore thank you all for participating in our
topic what you will do if motorcycle document lost in Bangladesh. Feel free
to join in discussion or put your query.
