M A Rahman: Like other commercial banks in country, loan scam allegations have now been brought against NRB Commercial Bank (NRBCB).

With beyond rules, the bank authorities have allegedly provided some Tk140 crore loans to a non-government organisation named, Ahsan Group.

The bank`s principal branch has given the loans to the organisation while the allegation has come to the light after an investigation from the Central Bank.

Principal branch of the bank has given the loans to Ahsan Group in two phases. In the first phase, the bank has provided Tk 31crore and Tk109 crore in the second phase.

But this group has a total of Tk301 crore outstanding loans from separate banks in the country in recent years.

A Bangladesh Bank report also alleged that the bank gave the loans without making any of the field operations to the group before providing the loans.

The central bank also warned the bank separate times in this connection.

One of the high officials of Anti-Corruption Commission (ACC), however, told risingbd.com in this regard that the ACC have asked documents over the allegations.

"And actions will be taken after getting the documents in this connection, says the ACC insider.

ACC`s Deputy Director, Md Mahbubul Alam, is investigating into the allegations of the bank`s loan irregularities.
