After the resignation of the Sheikh Hasina government, there have been allegations that smugglers are taking huge amounts of money out of the country or are threatening to take them. In view of this, Bangladesh Bank has imposed the maximum limit of cash withdrawal from the bank on August 8 for the sake of security of money including stopping money laundering. On that day the customer of the bank could not withdraw more than one lakh cash from one account. Later, this withdrawal limit was increased to two lakhs from last August 11. After that, the withdrawal limit was further increased to three lakhs.
From Sunday (August 25), the withdrawal limit has been further increased. From today, bank customers will not be able to withdraw cash up to Tk 4 lakh from a single account. Money can be withdrawn under this rule until further instructions. This information was informed in a small message of Bangladesh Bank on Saturday (August 24) night.
According to Bangladesh Bank’s instructions, there is a problem in transferring money to branches due to security reasons. That is why from now on no more than four lakh rupees can be withdrawn from one account. However, a customer can transfer any amount and do digital transactions.
Last week, the limit has been increased from today, despite not being able to withdraw more than three lakhs in cash. From today and Sunday till further instructions no more than Tk 4 lakh cash can be withdrawn.
