Dhaka: The central bank of Bangladesh has set a new cash withdrawal limit of 300,000 taka (2,542 U.S. dollars) via cheques per account per day starting from Sunday.

As per the latest circular from the Bangladesh Bank on Saturday, commercial banks in the country are now required to limit cash withdrawals to 300,000 taka per account daily, up from the previous limit of 200,000 taka.

On August 8, the Bangladeshi interim government imposed stricter controls, limiting cheque withdrawals to 100,000 taka.

The Bangladesh Bank also instructed banks to monitor transactions through cheques and block any suspicious transfer of funds.

The bank’s decision follows the Bangladeshi interim government’s directive for banking and financial sector reforms after the fall of the previous government on August 5.
