SAFTA origin fraud in areca imports allegedly enabled improper duty exemption through false Bangladeshi-origin declarations.
SAFTA preferential duty treatment for areca-nut imports was allegedly misused by falsely declaring goods originating in South-East Asian countries as Bangladeshi origin. Since areca nuts normally attract 100% basic customs duty, the scheme sought to obtain the full SAFTA exemption reserved for qualifying Bangladeshi goods meeting Rules of Origin requirements. The alleged mechanism included routing goods through Bangladesh, changing containers and bags, using improperly obtained Certificates of Origin, and facilitating clearance through importers, Customs Brokers and IEC holders. Investigative findings also indicated cash proceeds, hawala channels and dummy entities.

If either life is diagnosed with a terminal illness, the Payor Accelerator Benefit ensures that 50% of the sum assured is paid and all future premiums are waived. If both lives survive the policy term, the Joint Life Promise Plus option returns 100% of the total premiums paid, provided all policy conditions are met. The Super Retirement Benefit allows policyholders to receive 100% of the premiums paid (excluding discounts) from the 30th policy year or upon reaching age 70, whichever comes first, but not during the last 10 policy years.
