# Khata in Bangladesh

Ten shops here bill in taka, not rupees — and they do because somebody fixed the currency, not because they configured it. That is the whole point of picking the country at signup.

## Facts
- Shops using Khata: 10+ shops (counted 2026-09-01)
- Currency: BDT (৳)
- Dial code: +880
- Price: free on mobile

## The 8 divisions
Barisal, Chittagong, Dhaka, Khulna, Mymensingh, Rajshahi, Rangpur, Sylhet

## What Khata does not do in Bangladesh
- **The sales tax is not renamed for your country** — A business record carries a registration type of PAN, VAT or GST and nothing else. Khata will not print TRN, BIN, NTN or your local equivalent on a bill, and it does not know your country's rates.
- **There is no compliance calendar outside India and Nepal** — Filing reminders exist for those two only. Everywhere else the app tracks your sales and stock and leaves the filing dates to you.
- **No financial-year or week-start setting** — Reports are run by picking dates. Nothing defaults to your tax year or opens the week on your local first day, because neither is stored.
- **One business is one country** — The country chosen at signup sets the currency for everything that business does. A group trading across two countries needs one business per country.

## Questions

**Does Khata work in Bangladesh?**

Yes. Choosing Bangladesh at signup sets the business to BDT (৳) and validates phone numbers against the +880 format, so bills, reports and payment reminders are all in your own currency from the first sale. 10+ shops in Bangladesh are on it as of 2026-09-01.

**What currency will my bills be in?**

BDT, shown as ৳. It is set from the country you pick and is not a default we fell back to — the app resolves a currency for every country in the world, which is why a shop in Bangladesh is not billing in Indian rupees.

**Is it free in Bangladesh?**

The mobile app is free everywhere, including Bangladesh. There is no card, no trial period and nothing to cancel. The web dashboard is a separate, paid product that our team grants by hand.

**Does Khata handle Bangladesh's sales tax?**

Not as a named local tax. A business record carries a registration type of PAN, VAT or GST and a registration number, and you can set a tax rate per line on a bill — but Khata does not know Bangladesh's rates, will not print a local registration format on an invoice, and has no filing calendar outside India and Nepal.

**Will it work when the shop has no internet?**

Yes, and that is the point of it. A bill is completed on the phone and the server is told afterwards, so the sale finishes at the counter whether or not there is a signal. Nothing about that behaviour is different in Bangladesh.

**Can one account cover Bangladesh and another country?**

No. The country picked at signup fixes the currency for that whole business, so a group trading in Bangladesh and elsewhere needs one business per country. Phone numbers are checked against +880 with 10 digits after the code.
