The National Board of Revenue (NBR) has introduced automated challan system to facilitate deposition of some 196 types of revenues and fees to national exchequer.
NBR Chairman Abu Hena Md Rahmatul Muneem and Finance Division Senior Secretary Abdur Rouf Talukder jointly inaugurated the automated challan System on Thursday morning virtually, reports BSS.
The ‘Improvement of Public Financial Services Delivery through Implementation of BACS and iBAS++Scheme’ under the ‘Strengthening Public Financial Management Programme to Enable Service Delivery (SPFMS)’ Programme of the Finance Division has innovated the system.
According to a press release, the newly-introduced system would ease the existing system of depositing money to the state coffer through treasury challans and would reduce sufferings of the clients. It would also check deposition of fake challans and avert the trend of tax evasion.
Under the system, anyone would be able to deposit the money of treasury challans at Bangladesh Bank or any other branch of the commercial banks in due time.
Besides, the clients will also be able to deposit the money of treasury challans through online banking and mobile financial system as well as through cash, cheques and account debit.
In case of depositing money through cash, online banking or mobile financial system, the clients will get copies of their challans immediately.
