Budget 2026-27: Tk 826 crore. Follow the records from the budget line to the offices, contracts, places and contractors they reach, one hop at a time, each with its source and status. One taka is a way to follow the records, not a claim that a single taka can be tracked end to end.
The budget is one year, 2026-27. Award figures add up every award dated 15 June 2017 to 10 September 2026, unless marked as dated in 2026-27. The two are not the same quantity.
