NRB guide: bringing rental income home

You own property in Bangladesh. You live in Dubai, London, New York. The rent is collected, the taka sits idle — and getting it out feels like a compliance maze. It doesn't have to be.

The two accounts

• NRTA — Non-Resident Taka Account: your local account for taka income while abroad.
• NITA — Non-Resident Investor's Taka Account: for investment-linked funds, including property sale proceeds.

Under Bangladesh Bank guidelines, house rent and sale proceeds of property (with documentary evidence) are permitted credits to these accounts. The bottleneck is never the rule — it's the paperwork.

The dossier AD branches expect

1. Registered lease agreement(s) proving the tenancy
2. Tax clearance certificate (TCC)
3. Form IT10B — return of assets & liabilities
4. Signed rent receipts for the period
5. Form TM for outward remittances (and QA-22 for foreign nationals)

Where it breaks

• Leases that were never registered (see our registration post) — no valid lease, no credit.
• Receipts the tenant "forgot" to sign.
• Scattered documents your bank asks you to re-assemble every quarter.

Bottom line

Repatriation isn't blocked by law; it's blocked by documentation. Let the platform keep yours perfect.
