Bangladesh Bank has instructed banks to resolve disciplinary cases against officers and employees within a maximum of two months. The central bank’s Banking Regulation and Policy Department, or BRPD, issued a circular on Sunday, according to a report published on July 26, 2026. Under the new instruction, any pending disciplinary case against a bank officer or employee must be concluded within two months in line with service rules.

The circular refers to a policy governing the recruitment of officers and employees from one bank to another, established under BRPD Circular Letter No. 6 issued on May 4, 2005. Bangladesh Bank said a provision of that earlier circular had been amended because disciplinary allegations at different banks were taking a long time to resolve.

The amendment was made to ensure consistency with the Bangladesh Labour Rules, 2015, the circular said. All other provisions of the 2005 instruction will remain unchanged, according to Bangladesh Bank.
