In the presence of DSCC Mayor Barrister Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh and DCCI President Barrister Md Sameer Sattar, the MoU was inked at the DCCI auditorium in Dhaka city, said a press release.

Meanwhile, the "Trade Licence Service Booth" has been established at DCCI initially for two weeks to give online trade licence renewal services to the DCCI members in the South City Corporation area.

Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh inaugurated the online trade licence renewal process at DCCI and also handed over the renewed licences among the DCCI members on the spot.
 
Sheikh Fazle Noor Taposh, in his speech, said that the MoU signed between DCCI and DSCC is a milestone initiative of public-private partnership to steer the economic development of the country.

He said that from July 1 this year, businessmen, especially those under ten zones in the southern part of the city, will get a fully online trade licence renewal facility for one year up to five years.

He also said that without increasing any trade licence fees or holding tax, the DSCC made a profit of about Tk 5.24 billion in the last three years.

According to the MoU and under the joint initiative of DCCI and DSCC, a "Trade Licence Service Booth" has been established at DCCI initially for the next two weeks to give services to the members of DCCI who have their businesses in the South City Corporation area, he added.

He expressed his hope that the booth will be able to act as a one-stop service point for the DCCI members during this time.

He termed it a milestone initiative in public-private partnership, and this type of bondage will help strengthen the ease of doing business in the country.

CEO of Dhaka South City Corporation (Additional Secretary) Md Mijanur Rahman said that the MoU signed today (July 6) has created a platform to work jointly for the development of the economy.

This is a new beginning, and DSCC is committed to facilitating businessmen through digitalised services, he added.
