Re: ITECL/BEPCL-PCR/Due.CSA/001/12/2023
I am writing in response to your request letter dated December 18, 2023 wherein you made
certain demands related to the due payment of CSA.
After reviewing the contents of your letter and discussing it with our legal consultant, I would
like to address the concerns and issues you have raised:
In your letter, you mentioned that you have defaulted in the repayment of the loan of BDT
154.06 million availed from Trust Bank Limited in due time and the bank has marked the
loan accounts as Bad Loan (BL) to CIB Database. You believe your default will affect CIB
Report, CAMELS Rating and operational procedures of BEPCL as well since you are still a
Director of BEPCL through Iso Tech Electrification Company Limited.
I would like to clarify that the loan of BDT 154.06 you availed against your another company
‘Intelli Engineering Limited’ has nothing to do with BEPCL as the loan you procured was for
a different entity not connected with BEPCL. The ‘Intelli Engineering Limited’ is neither a
shareholder nor a subsidiary company of BEPCL. Considering the above facts, we, at the
advice of our consultants, hold that BEPCL shall not bear any responsibility for the default of
a loan not availed by you in the capacity of BEPCL’s director.
We also completely disagree with your factual assessment that your default in the said loan
could influence our CIB Report, CAMELS Rating and operational procedures of BEPCL and
we hold them groundless.
2. Concerns over Trust Bank’s letter to RJSC, BIDA and Bangladesh Bank
You also mentioned that Trust Bank Limited has issued several Letters to RJSC, BIDA, The
Central Bank requesting not to convert any USD in favor of BEPCL until repayment of my
defaulted liabilities. As per the professional opinion of our Legal Counsel, such letters from
Trust Bank to RJSC, BIDA or BB do not have any legal effect and are outside the scope of
existing laws. As we mentioned earlier, you are only a minor shareholder director in BEPCL
who owns just 400 shares out of 144,535,666 shares of the company. Thus we understand that
the concerned authorities cannot take any punitive action against BEPCL for the personal
default of any of its minor shareholder directors in matters not related to BEPCL.
Please let me know your thoughts on my proposal. If you have further details or documents
that you believe I should consider, please forward them to my attention.
Thank you for your understanding, and I look forward to resolving this matter to our mutual
satisfaction.
Sincerely,
Mr. Zhao
