The bank account of former FBCCI president Abdul Awal Mintu was opened. Apart from this, the suspension imposed on other members of his family as banks has been withdrawn. The Central Intelligence Cell (CIC) of the National Board of Revenue (NBR) has sent an order in this regard to the managing directors and chief executive officers of all banks and financial institutions last Thursday evening.
This information is known from the sources of National Board of Revenue (NBR).
In a letter to the managing directors of banks and financial institutions, it is said that all active and dormant bank accounts in the sole and joint names of Abdul Awal Mintu, Nasreen Fatema Awal and Tabith Awal under the powers conferred by Section 117 (4) of the Income Tax Ordinance 1984 for the preservation of public revenue interests (cont. Withdrawal and transfer of money from all types of accounts including accounts, savings accounts, term deposit accounts, loan accounts, foreign currency accounts, credit cards, vaults, lockers, savings certificates and other savings instruments) were suspended. Now this order has been withdrawn.
According to National Board of Revenue (NBR) sources, last Tuesday, Abdul Awal Mintu wrote to the NBR chairman through a lawyer, seeking the withdrawal of the suspension of bank accounts. After reviewing the legal aspects of that letter, it was ordered to withdraw the bank account freeze on him and his family members.
Note that on August 1, 2007, the bank accounts of Abdul Awal Mintu and his family members were suspended.
