"I won't state that the issue has been settled totally, yet the circumstance has improved to a huge degree; presently merchants are getting licenses rapidly," Mr Yusuf said.

The south city organization propelled the venture in any event four months back with the target of improving the exchange permit system that really has no appropriate register in the genuine sense to be kept up in spite of the way that the related standards have stipulated that prerequisite.

That made space for various types of defilement.

Be that as it may, an insider working at the home office of the DSCC told the FE that this tedious work ought to have been done inside December last.

The south city enterprise zone has an enormous number of dealers because of the presence of the key business centers of Motijheel and Dilkusha and different business focuses in old Dhaka. It has now more than 240,000 such licenses.

Dealers register, on a normal, for 20,000 new exchange licenses every year in the DSCC region, as indicated by the individuals acquainted with the issue.

He, notwithstanding, couldn't state to what extent the merchants would persevere through the difficulty.

"On the off chance that individuals get fast administrations for beginning a business, it impacts on the pointer."

In any case, the Dhaka North City Corporation (DNCC) is yet to start any transition to give e-exchange licenses.
