Each sale must be meticulously recorded in the traveler's passport and air ticket, verified with the seal and signature of the money changer's authorized personnel. The fee is set at a maximum of Taka 300, which applies irrespective of the amount of foreign currency being purchased. Money changers are now required to clearly display the endorsement fee in a prominent location within their business premises. The circular, signed by Monoar Uddin Ahmed, Director of FEPD-2, clarified that all other relevant instructions regarding foreign exchange transactions remain unchanged.
