The government has appointed Financial Institutions Division secretary Md Abdur Rahman Khan as the chairman of the National Board of Revenue (NBR).
The public administration ministry issued a circular on Wednesday appointing Rahman as the new NBR chief.
Earlier in the day, a circular was issued cancelling the contractual appointment of Abu Hena Md Rahmatul Muneem as the NBR chairman and relieved him from duty.
Muneem’s tenure as NBR chairman expired earlier this year but the AL government had appointed him on a contractual basis for two more years.
“The remaining term of his (Abu Hena Md Rahmatul Muneem) contractual appointment as NBR chairman has been cancelled,” according to the circular.
