London, UK, April 27 -- There is a plan to introduce a "Remittance Award" for those who send maximum remittance through legal channels, State Minister for Expatriate Welfare Shofiqur Rahman Choudhury said on Friday.

Speaking at a remittance fair organised by the Bangladesh High Commission in London, he said, "The money sent by expatriates to Bangladesh through legal channels will be protected and there is an opportunity to earn more profit from this money than other countries through saving and investing with government incentives."
