The office is attached by its registry domain. Posts only: no holder name or contact data.

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 body23
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.

None of the 118 published issues (21 May 2026 to 19 Sept 2026) names this body. Matched by the body's name (BIWTA, Bhola) printed in the issue.
The Daily Advisor is BPL's own AI-drafted policy writing, not evidence about this body.
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.
