The National Board of Revenue (NBR) on Monday suspended its official Jannatul Ferdous Mitu and placed her on special duty as an assistant tax commissioner of Tax Zone-5, Dhaka, following allegations of serious misconduct in handling confidential documents.
According to a notification issued by the Internal Resources Division, Mitu allegedly received Tk 3.8 million for handing over a significant portion of income tax records—including previous returns, order sheets, assessment orders, appellate tribunal orders, and other documents—to the nominated representative (income tax lawyer) of Salah Uddin Ahmed, a taxpayer under Circle-63 of Tax Zone-5, Dhaka.
In light of this, the authorities have decided to initiate departmental proceedings against her, the notification added.
As per the rules, she will remain entitled to subsistence allowance during the suspension period.
