A person can now withdraw more than Tk4 lakh per account daily, according to an order by the Bangladesh Bank (BB).

Earlier, the limit was Tk3 lakh.

The central bank has hiked the limit once in each of the previous three weeks, which it imposed after the deterioration of the law and order and overall security situation in the country since the fall of the Awami League government on 5 August.

Initially, the BB slapped the restriction on withdrawal of over Tk1 lakh as banks were facing challenges in transferring cash from one place to another.

Earlier the central bank instructed commercial banks to monitor transactions through cheques and block any suspicious transfer of funds.
