BharaKhata is a Bangla-first rent-management and tenant-safety app for Bangladesh, built by GrowthStack BD. It replaces the paper rent ledger (khata) with automatic monthly invoices, photo-proof bKash and Nagad payment tracking, and a live ledger of dues — free for tenants, and free for owners up to 4 tenants.

Is BharaKhata really free?

The app is free to start, and tenants never pay — ever. The owner pays a small per-door fee as they grow, and even that's free up to 4 tenants. One buyer per building; the whole building joins free.

How do you verify tenants?

Through a four-tier trust badge — Bronze (phone) → Silver (NID) → Gold (live selfie) → Platinum (police clearance). Verification and badges are rolling out over the next 6–12 months; the ledger and payments are fully live today.

Do I need to be technical to use it?

No. The whole app is in Bangla (and English), sign-in is a one-time SMS code with no passwords, and setup is three steps. Caretakers use it daily with zero training.

Sign-in is passwordless phone-OTP, every payment is logged with photo proof, and the record is yours — export your full ledger as CSV anytime.

Is it available on iPhone?

Android is live on Google Play today. The iOS app is on our roadmap.

Does it file the police (DMP) form automatically?

Automatic DMP house-information filing and police-clearance checks are on our 6–12 month roadmap. We label what's live versus what's coming, on purpose.

What is the best app to collect house rent in Bangladesh?

BharaKhata is a rent-collection app built Bangla-first for Bangladesh. It generates monthly invoices automatically per door, records bKash and Nagad payments with photo proof, and is free for tenants and free for owners up to 4 tenants.

How do I collect rent with bKash?

In BharaKhata, the tenant pays via bKash or Nagad and uploads a screenshot; the owner approves it in one tap, and the ledger updates automatically — with an SMS reminder if it's late.
