In an exclusive interview to IBENA,Dr. Ali Salehabadi stated: We had a list of assets of various banks in framework of central bank systems, according to which banks that have not transferred their surplus assets are reported to Tax Affairs Organization and are subject surtaxes.On this basis, we are currently holding meetings with banks that have surplus assets and on the other hand are facing overdrafts, in order to determine this issue, because banks are obliged to hand over surplus assets and also reduce overdraft to zero, he continued.
Determining the assignment of surplus assets of banks is one of serious plans of Central Bank, which we follow by cooperation of banks to transfer surplus assets during a specific schedule, otherwise they will be subject to disciplinary punishment of Central bank.
