In the banks of the country, a customer can withdraw a maximum of Tk 2 lakh from an account. No customer can withdraw more than 2 lakh rupees. Bangladesh Bank gave this instruction in an urgent message to the managing directors of the banks on Saturday night. The central bank said that this instruction will be applicable only for this week.
According to the instructions, a customer can transfer any amount of cash from bank to bank, from one account to another and do digital transactions even if he cannot withdraw cash of Tk 2 lakh. Besides, any businessmen can withdraw more money for payment of salaries and expatriates by ensuring security.
It is known that after the change of government, the pressure of cash withdrawal increased slightly. There is pressure to withdraw cash, especially from politicians and business families. Bangladesh Bank has decided to discourage the withdrawal of cash so that these funds are not used in any way for terrorist or illegal activities. In continuation of this, the central bank informed the MDs of the banking and financial institutions about this decision last night. Earlier last Thursday, Bangladesh Bank had instructed to withdraw a maximum of Tk 1 lakh.
