The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has asked all scheduled banks to send information on bank accounts and other transactions of Destiny 2000 Ltd and its sister concerns within seven days.

NBR, the tax department, also sought account details of all directors of Destiny 2000 Ltd and its nine other sister concerns, NBR sources said.

“We have asked banks to furnish information on all types of accounts of these firms and their directors to see if the company has evaded tax or flouted any rules,” sources added.

The move comes two days after the NBR called for the tax files of Destiny and its sister concerns from the field offices to examine any possible tax dodging by the company.

Talking to daily sun Executive Director of Bangladesh Bank SM Monirujjaman said all concerned agencies like NBR, ACC are working to find out involvement of Destiny in illegal acts.

“We have already submitted report to the line ministries regarding Destiny,” Monirujjaman said adding if concerned agencies or ministries seek any support from Bangladesh Bank, then they are ready to provide those.”

Managing Director of NCC Bank Nurul Amin yesterday told daily sun that they received the letter from NBR. The bank has no business, financial transactions with Destiny 2000 Ltd and there is no account of Managing Director or directors of Destiny with the bank.
