Export Cash Incentive Services in Bangladesh

End-to-end advisory, BASIS certification, and AD Bank claim support for IT/ITES exporters — so you get the 6% subsidy without delays, rejections, or compliance surprises.


Stop Leaving Government Money on the Table

The Government of Bangladesh, through Bangladesh Bank’s FE Circular No. 28 (July 2025) and the latest January 2026 extension circular, continues to pay a 6% cash assistance on every confirmed inward remittance from IT/ITES exports — and 2.50% for individual freelancers. For a company exporting USD 500,000 a year, that is roughly BDT 36 lakh in legitimate, claimable subsidy.

Yet, in our work with software houses, BPO firms, and digital service exporters across Dhaka and Chattogram, we see the same pattern repeat: claims sit unclaimed for months, BASIS files get returned for missing Form-Ka, AD Banks reject the Format-A over a wrong PRC date, or the entire incentive is forfeited because the 12-month realization window quietly expired.

That is the gap we close.Our Export Cash Incentive Services in Bangladesh take the entire compliance burden off your finance team — from eligibility review to the day the subsidy lands in your bank account.


What We Do for You

Our Export Cash Incentive support covers the four stages where claims usually break down. We do not hand you a checklist and walk away — we run the file end-to-end, on your behalf, with BASIS, your AD Bank, and the external audit firm appointed by Bangladesh Bank.

1. Eligibility & Strategy Review

Before we touch a single form, we audit your export structure: invoicing pattern, contract terms, remittance currency, beneficiary names, and whether your services fall inside the IT/ITES definition under the latest Bangladesh Bank circular. This is also where we identify lost claims from prior periods that may still be recoverable.

2. BASIS Cash Incentive Certificate Filing

We prepare and submit the full BASIS application package — Forwarding Letter to the BASIS President, Form Ka & Kha, Commercial Invoices, Export Work Order or MoU, SWIFT/Advice copies, and Format A. We coordinate directly with the BASIS Service Officer for verification, respond to clarifications, and manage slab-wise certification fees so you never overpay.

3. AD Bank Documentation & Audit Liaison

This is where most in-house teams get stuck. We assemble all 17+ banking documents — Form Ka, Form Ga & Gha, ICT Form-C, Discount Certificate, Bank Calculation Rate, Beneficiary Certificate, Undertaking on Tk. 300 stamp, KYC, PRC, Acknowledgment Letter by Buyer — and walk them through your branch and the appointed external audit firm.

4. Claim Submission & Subsidy Recovery

We submit the final claim through your AD Bank to Bangladesh Bank, track it through the system, follow up at every escalation point, and stay engaged until the cash hits your operative account. We also handle the 10% source tax (Section 53BBBB equivalent under the Income Tax Act 2023) treatment so your books reconcile cleanly.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the full claim take? From document handover to subsidy credit, expect 3–6 months — BASIS certification takes 2–4 weeks, the AD Bank and Bangladesh Bank cycle takes the remainder.

What if my export proceeds came in over 12 months ago? Realization timelines are strict. Talk to us before assuming the claim is dead — in some cases, Bangladesh Bank permits regularization with proper justification.

Will the 6% rate continue after Bangladesh’s LDC graduation in November 2026? The government has signalled a gradual phase-out to align with WTO rules. Claims for current shipments remain fully valid — file them now while the framework is intact.

Do you work with non-BASIS members? Yes. Non-BASIS members are eligible to apply for the Cash Incentive Certificate; the BASIS fee slab is slightly different, and we handle the full process either way.
