Four lakhs can be withdrawn from the bank

Up to four lakh taka can be withdrawn from the bank this week. Last week, up to three lakh rupees could be withdrawn. He had the opportunity to withdraw a maximum of two lakh rupees in the previous week. That means the withdrawal limit is increasing every week.

However, although there is a limit on cash withdrawal, customers can transfer any amount of money and do digital transactions.

This instruction has been given in an urgent message from Bangladesh Bank to the managing director or MD of the bank on Saturday (August 24) night. At the same time banks have been asked to comply with this directive citing 'security reasons'.

Bank officials say that after the fall of Sheikh Hasina's government on August 5, politicians, businessmen and officials of various categories started withdrawing more and more money from the bank. That is why the BRPD department of Bangladesh Bank gives this regulatory directive.

Although the journey of the interim government started on August 8, there are still security concerns in the transportation of cash. Apart from this, there is a fear that many may destabilize the banking sector by withdrawing more cash from banks. In this reality, the limit of withdrawing money from the bank is imposed. But every week that limit is increasing.

According to the instructions of Bangladesh Bank, there is a problem in transferring money to the branch due to security reasons. For that reason, not more than four lakh rupees can be withdrawn from one account. Transaction monitoring through checks should be strengthened and suspicious transactions should be stopped.

Now there is a limit on cash withdrawal but this limit will be withdrawn if the situation normalizes.
