The 60-second version

Bangladesh exit needs employer tax certificate and visa surrender. I export WPPF member statement, close BDT/USD account, and map India RNOR for retained assets.

TIN closure and employer withholding certificate anchor the exit

Bangladesh taxes residents on worldwide income for prolonged stay — I obtain employer tax deduction certificate and confirm no open NBR assessments.

Work permit / visa cancel through sponsor; keep exit endorsement for India employment records.

WPPF (Workers Profit Participation Fund) and gratuity export — lump-sum rules depend on tenure and sector.
