From the registry of public bodies. A dissolution read from an act overrides the registry's status.
Registry structure
The registry of public bodies records the parent as National Board of Revenue (registry id 80). Provenance: registry structure (entities.parent_id), not a sourced row.
We have not yet found a published statement of what this body does.
We have not yet found the law or order that created this body.
We have not yet found who leads this body in a source we can cite.
What each source budgets for the year: a gross demand for grants, an allocation, or a state-owned enterprise's own budget (income, expenditure, net profit or deficit). The tag on each line says which. None of it is spending.

Budget line through the parent body1
Counted through a parent: this body has no budget line of its own, so readiness counts the nearest ancestor's own line (registry parent, or the Division its Allocation of Business entry or agency list names, or the parent two readers agreed). The line is the parent's budget, not this body's, and not spending.

Press coverage
Named in 5 articles since May 2017; number 135 among bodies in the last 12 months.
0 articles from October 2025 to September 2026, against 0 in the 12 months before.
Months with an article: July 2018 (1 article of 734), December 2020 (1 article of 681).
The total counts every outlet in the corpus. The 12-month comparison, shares and spikes use The Daily Star (business pages before 2026) and Prothom Alo English from 2018, so they measure attention within that corpus, not the whole press. Company press releases are left out throughout. A spike is a month at least three standard deviations above the body's previous 24 months. Bodies are matched by name or acronym in the headline and summary.
Dated facts: none held for this body. Only facts with a date printed in a primary document: the act date on bdlaws.minlaw.gov.bd, Bangladesh Gazette decisions published 2026-04-06 to 2026-09-17 (one parser's reading, not yet checked by a second), and, read by two readers, the amendment notes of Schedule I of the Rules of Business (revised up to February 2024) and the long title of the Act that establishes a body. Postings from Part II of the weekly Gazette 2015-2026 are one reader's reading (agy Gemini) checked by a code gate against the stored page; `readers` says whether a blind second reader agreed. No dated evidence is held for this body. State over time
