Ref No.: O.O. Dir. Banking Regulation and Policy Dept-1 29 July 2026 BRPD-1 Circular Letter No.-25 Date: ------------------ 14 Sraban 1433 Managing Director / Chief Executive Officer All Scheduled Banks Operating in Bangladesh Dear Sir, Regarding the withdrawal of cases filed by customers in the context of receiving policy support.

1. To establish institutions and ensure sustainable economic development, the Bangladesh Bank has previously taken various steps to form a private investment-dependent economy by increasing credit flow to the productive sector. Under these steps, various incentives/policy supports are being provided through banks to borrowers in sectors such as agriculture, MSMEs, etc., including reopening export-oriented knitwear factories. However, it is observed that some customers, on one hand, are receiving incentives/policy support provided by the Bangladesh Bank, while on the other hand, they are continuing to file petitions and other cases against the government, the Bangladesh Bank, and the respective banks.

2. In this changing context, this directive is issued to resolve banking sector litigation in the country. It is directed that applications for any policy support, including incentives packages announced or to be announced by the government and the Bangladesh Bank, shall be considered only after the withdrawal of any pending petitions or cases filed by the applicant against the government, the Bangladesh Bank, and the respective banks. In this regard, an affidavit (sworn statement) must be obtained from the applicant confirming that no such cases are pending against the government, the Bangladesh Bank, and the respective banks, along with a list of the withdrawn cases.

3. This directive is issued under the powers conferred by Section 45 of the Bank Company Act, 1991, and shall take immediate effect.

Yours faithfully,
(Gazi Md. Mahfuzul Islam)
