The NID cards of visitors who are going to the Parliament for various reasons, will be identified by the machine.

Without vat-tax fees, members of parliament will have to pay Tk 5 lakh for once and renewal fees Tk 1 lakh. Users of NID cards will have to pay Tk 1 each.

The decision was taken at a virtual meeting titled “ICT infrastructure of the Jatiya Sangsad Secretariat, and human resource and technology skills development” presided over by Sangsad secretary KM Abdus Salam.
