The commission took this decision in response to a time extension petition by Khaleda two days ago. The previous deadline expires on July 29.

The former premier now has to submit her wealth statement to the ACC head office at Shegunbagicha by August 7 in person or through her representative.

ACC Secretary Mokhlesur Rahman yesterday informed reporters about the ACC decision.

Asked by newsmen, Khaleda's lawyer Ahmed Aazam Khan said that according to estimates till now, she has wealth worth less than Tk 3 crore.

He also said Khaldea's wealth comprises money received from renting a house, fixed deposits, life insurance and savings from salary and benefits she received during her two terms as prime minister. The wealth was accumulated over a period of 40 years. The estimates are yet to be completed, he added.

She has no wealth, movable or immovable, outside the country, he added.

Meanwhile, detained former premier Sheikh Hasina is supposed to submit her wealth statement by July 29 -- the deadline for this.

The ACC secretary said no petition seeking extension of time on behalf of Hasina was received till yesterday.

If case of any time extension petition by Hasina by July 29, the deadline would be shifted, he added.

On July 18, the ACC asked both the former premiers to submit their wealth statements in a week. According to ACC act, the commission can extend the time limit by seven days if someone applies for it.
