What is this site for?
The Website www.forms.gov.bd is the one of the e-initiatives of the Government of Bangladesh. As a part of the e-Citizen service initiative, the Prime Minister's Office has undertaken to digitally publish the government forms to make them available to citizens through this website. This website provides you with government forms that can be selected, viewed, downloaded or fill electronically and print or just print a blank form and fill it manually for the submission to the respective office/agency. In this pilot phase we put 50 forms and eventually the rest of the forms will be available in future.

Yes, all the Government forms available for download on this site are approved for use.

How can I locate a particular a form?
You can easily and quickly reach to the required form by navigating forms in more than one way. You can select to move with respect to Category, Ministry/Divisions, or you can also select to view all forms altogether in alphabetical order. You are also allowed to search for certain specific forms.

Its depends on how you want to fill the form. If you want to fill the forms electronically, then you need the fillable form. These are available in PDF (English) and in doc (Bangla and English) format.

Forms are available in different paper sizes, do I need different size paper to print different forms?
No you dont. All the forms available in this website are converted into A4 size. You need only A4 size papers to print the forms.

Some of the original forms are printed on both sides, do I have to print on both sides of the paper as well?
There is no restriction. You can print the form on one side or on both side of a paper.

I do not have a laser printer. Are forms printed on ink-jet or bubble-jet printers acceptable for filing?
Generally all the government agencies will accept forms that are consistent with the official forms and that do not have any adverse impact on processing your form. This policy includes forms printed on high quality devices such as a laser, bubble-jet or ink-jet printer etc. Forms must be printed using good quality paper, ink, and with precise specifications so that forms are highly legible.
