Bangladesh Bank has granted President Md. Shahabuddin special permission to withdraw Tk 2 million from his account at Global Islami Bank, exceeding the withdrawal limits set under the bank resolution scheme. The approval was given on June 16, 2026, following his application in late May through the bank’s Gulshan corporate branch, citing medical and family expenses.
Under the resolution scheme, depositors of five merged banks are generally allowed to withdraw up to Tk 200,000, with additional withdrawals of Tk 100,000 permitted every three months for larger deposits. In cases of serious illness, withdrawals of up to Tk 1 million per month may be approved. However, many depositors have complained about difficulties in accessing such special permissions despite medical needs.
Bangladesh Bank Executive Director and spokesperson Arif Hossain Khan confirmed the approval, stating that the President’s position and medical reasons were considered. He added that similar exceptions have been granted previously to other depositors facing critical health conditions.
