The CIP status is given to NRBs for their outstanding contributions to the country's economy. This year, the government will award CIP status to five highest NRB investors, 75 highest remittance senders and top 10 importers of Bangladeshi products. Any NRB who has sent at least $1,00,000 to Bangladesh in the 2017-18 fiscal year can apply for CIP status, he said. Replying to a question, Saleheen said the government would announce names of 35 NRB CIPs for the 2016-17 fiscal within June. CIP (NRB) cardholders are entitled to a number of facilities for one year from the day of the issuance of gazette.
