Sometimes exchange is drawn by one passenger on behalf of a group of persons travelling together. (b) In such cases if any member of the group cancels his/her booking, no refund of passage money should be made unless his/her quota of exchange has been refunded to or encashed with an AD and necessary evidence to this effect is produced to the airline/shipping company/travel agent. This requirement of encashment of unutilized foreign exchange applies in all cases. Refunds by the airline/shipping company/travel agent should invariably be made by cheques drawn on the official account of the airline/shipping company/travel agent concerned with a bank in Bangladesh. In all other cases, no refund should be granted against part or whole cancellation of ticket unless prior approval of Bangladesh Bank is obtained. (c) However, where a passenger once undertakes the foreign travel it should be construed that the foreign exchange released to him/her has been utilized for the purpose for which it was

released. Airlines /shipping companies/travel agents may, in such cases allow refund of the cost of the cancelled/unutilized portion of tickets without insisting on production of passport of the passenger concerned if it is otherwise evident that the passenger undertook the foreign travel and stayed back abroad for any reason.

In all such cases refunds should be made only in Bangladesh in Taka to the Bangladeshi nominee/authorized person of the passenger concerned. All tickets/vouchers etc., must be marked accordingly.
