BB asks banks to share data on defaulters with returning officials

Bangladesh Bank (BB) has asked all commercial banks to share the information of loan defaulters with the returning officers for ensuring the participation of qualified persons in the upcoming general election.

Bankers will have to share the information with the returning officers after November 28, the last day of nomination paper submission, said a BB circular issued here today.

Bankers must willingly collect the necessary information, like name, father’s name and mother’s name of the persons who will submit the nomination paper.

Bank officials can also provide the information of the loan default to the returning officers by attending at the time of the nomination paper.
