How much are the fees? +
Admission fees and annual subscriptions are fixed by the Executive Committee from time to time and shown on the Membership page and in your dashboard before you pay. Life membership is granted against a single prescribed subscription payment.
How do I pay? +
From your dashboard you can pay by bank transfer, bKash or Nagad. Record the transaction reference, and the secretariat confirms it against the account. A money receipt is issued automatically once the payment is verified.
