FE Circular No. 12 Date: April 02, 2017
Dear Sirs,
Declaration on Form-C for inward remittance
on account of ICT related services
Please refer to paragraph 23(b), chapter 8 of the Guidelines for Foreign Exchange
Transactions, read with FE Circular No. 6, dated May 30, 2011 in terms of which declaration
on Form-C is required for inward remittances on account of ICT related services. However,
declaration is not required for inward remittance upto USD 10,000 or equivalent as per FE
Circular No. 13, dated September 21, 2015. In the context of inward remittance upto USD
10,000, Authorized Dealers (ADs) shall satisfy themselves bonafide of the transactions with the
notation of the relevant SWIFT message. In case of non-availability of the purpose of inward
remittance, ADs shall contact the beneficiaries through e-mail about the purpose of
transactions.(cf. Circular Letter No. 25, dated November 01, 2015).
ICT related service is a fast growing sector of the country. Accuracy in recording
income of this sector from external sources is required to project its future trends. Hence, a
separate declaration Form-C (as per enclosure) against inward remittance on account of ICT
related services has been prepared for easy codification of the purpose and usual report to
Bangladesh Bank in relevant statement/schedule and online reporting module. ADs are
advised to guide their customers so that they can properly specify the purpose. For inward
remittance in small value upto USD 10,000 or equivalent, ADs shall follow the instructions of
Circular Letter No. 25, dated November 01, 2015 and/or in consultation with customer KYC
so that such inward remittances are properly codified and reported to Bangladesh Bank.
ADs are advised to extend all-out cooperations to exporters so that inward remittance
can be encashed/credited to the relevant accounts within reasonable time.
Please bring the above instructions, effective immediately, to the notice of all your
concerned constituents.
Yours faithfully,
Enclosure: Form - C (ICT)
