Deadline for opinions extended

The ministry of finance has extended the deadline by seven more days for providing opinions on the formation of National Pension Authority.
People now can provide their opinions about the entity until April 19 using the finance ministry's website link, the ministry said in a release on Monday.
The finance division uploaded the draft act on its website on March 29, after a decision in this regard was made by the government for the benefit of a vast multitude of the population outside the post-retirement pension system in government services.
The long-awaited universal pension scheme, one of the pledges of the ruling party's 2008 election manifesto, will be executed under the Authority.
Any citizen aged between 18 and 50, including expatriate Bangladeshis, can enjoy the facility.
