National Board of Revenue (NBR) Chairman Abu Hena. Rahmatul Munim said that former Inspector General of Police Benazir Ahmed will not get a chance to make his black money white.

He said this in response to a question from reporters at the post-budget press conference at the Osmani Memorial Auditorium on Friday (June 7) afternoon.

In response to a question, the NBR chairman said that Benazir has fallen into the case of undisclosed money. A criminal case is now underway. How will Benazir's black money be white?

On the question of how ethical he considers the opportunity to whiten black money in the budget, he said, it is done mainly because there is some unexpected money, which is not shown in the return for some reason. Land becomes black without our knowledge in buying and selling. Validate the money that was not returned due to such reasons. Demands came from businessmen, demands came from common people.

He said, sometimes businessmen also want to show some undisclosed amount. Also want to show at individual level, new tax payers want to show. But they are not able to answer this undisclosed amount. That is why we have made it possible to legalize it with a 15 percent tax.

At this time, the Prime Minister's financial adviser. Mosiur Rahman said, you asked about the former official, no one said that he will not be tried. ACC will take action against him. It is not the case that we will imprison or hang him without collecting information against him. Because he is a man of this country. Benjir is abroad, seeking time from ACC.
