Case filed over Tk 35.18cr VAT evasion
Administrator appointed to Delta Life Ins
The Insurance Development & Regulatory Authority (IDRA) yesterday appointed an administrator with immediate effect to one of the sector's leading entities, Delta Life Insurance Company, explaining that it was to protect policyholders' interests.
Meanwhile, the VAT Audit, Intelligence and Investigation Directorate filed a case against the Delta under the VAT act alleging that it had evaded paying Tk 35.18 crore in VAT.
The insurance regulator's logic behind appointing Sultan-ul-abedin Mollah, a former IDRA member, was the unearthing of many rule and regulation breaches, which came to light through special and investigative audits.
