New NBR chairman appointed

The secretary of the Financial Institutions Division Md Abdur Rahman Khan has been appointed as the chairman of the National Board of Revenue (NBR).

The public administration ministry has issued a circular appointing him as the NBR chairman on Wednesday (August 14).

Earlier in a separate circular, the public administration ministry cancelled the contractual appointment of Abu Hena Md Rahmatul Muneem as the NBR chairman and relieved him from duty.

Although Muneem’s tenure as NBR chairman expired earlier this year, the government appointed him on a contractual basis for two more years.

“The remaining term of his (Abu Hena Md Rahmatul Muneem) contractual appointment as NBR chairman has been cancelled,” according to the circular.
