The National Board of Revenue (NBR) on Monday suspended its official Jannatul Ferdous Mitu and made her an officer on special duty, as assistant tax commissioner of Tax Zone-5, Dhaka, following allegations of serious misconduct in handling over confidential documents.
An Internal Resources Division notification said Mitu allegedly received Tk 3.8 million over 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.
