The objective of the project is to create an electronic database for the RJSC by digitally archiving all manually kept files and digital entry of existing and newly registered companies, says a press release.

An agreement to this effect was signed between SEDF, the multi-donor funded facility managed by IFC (International Finance Corporation) and World Bank, and Australian high commission in Dhaka recently. Australian government will finance hardware while SEDF intends to finance software and training for the RJSC staff.

Moreover, the computerisation will also facilitate online registration, submission of documents and issuing of certificate of incorporation.

Besides, the project will develop an electronic network between RJSC's offices in Dhaka, Chittagong, Rajshahi, Khulna, Barisal and Sylhet.
