Download PDF The National Board of Revenue (NBR) yesterday asked all commercial banks to suspend immediately all transactions of accounts of the 50 graft suspects listed by the Anti-Corruption Commission, and three others.
The NBR also asked the banks to inform it after suspending transactions with them.
The three others are former state minister for energy AKM Mosharraf Hossain, former lawmaker from Savar Dr Dewan Mohammad Salahuddin and businessman Niaz Rahman.
The NBR directive to the banks attached with it a list containing the names and addresses of the 53 persons, their tax identification numbers (TIN) and names of their family members.
The list mentions Niaz as son of Advocate Mokhlesur Rahman, and his address 219/220, Shantibagh, Dhaka.
Niaz is an ‘ordinary businessman’ and he is not on the ACC list of corruption suspects, NBR sources said.
The directive from the NBR said as the issue of tax evasion by these 53 persons is under investigation by different government agencies, all kinds of bank transactions with them and their family members will remain suspended until further notice.
The banks have to suspend all kinds of transactions including cash withdrawal from their accounts or transfer to other accounts or their joint accounts.
