“Chinese firms supplied fake stamps to Bangladesh”



DHAKA: Bangladesh authorities have revealed that ‘Digit Anti Fake Company Ltd’ (DAFC), a Chinese company, based in Shenzhen, had supplied counterfeit band rolls/stamps to Arafat Enterprise, the Asian Lite News reported.

Chinese firms which are infamous for violating corporate ethics have dealt another blow as some of them are allegedly involved in forgery in Bangladesh.

Meanwhile, Bangladesh authorities have found that some Chinese firms engaged in printing supplying counterfeit documents causing massive loss to the government, according to Bangladeshi media outlets.

The National Board of Revenue (NBR) is the only legal body responsible for selling these types of stamps and band rolls and no one is allowed to buy the stamps other than from NBR. Bandroll is a small thin ribbon wrapped on a packet of Bidi & Cigarettes.

Earlier in December 2020, the National Board of Revenue (NBR) launched an investigation into ZTE Bangladesh, a subsidiary of the Chinese ZTE Corporation with many business operations in different sectors of the country, on the suspicion of tax evasion, the news report said.
