12 Million Commercial Bank Accounts Identified so Far

The Central Bank of Iran's plan of action separating commercial bank accounts from personal accounts are moving ahead in cooperation with the tax authority, Hassan Mirzapour, the head of CBI's software department, said.
"In the last four months 12.3 million commercial accounts have been identified, of which 2.3 million belong to legal entities and 10 million to natural persons," IBENA quoted Mirzapour as saying. 
He stressed the need for accelerating the process of the remaining 15 banks joining the system of separating commercial and non-commercial accounts.
"So far 15 banks have yet to join the system. The delay has created difficulties in taxing commercial accounts.” He emphasized the need for such banks to join the system as soon as possible to ensure that the banking network in its entirety is in the a/c separation project.
