会社清算人の選任の要件
→ 任意清算の場合の清算人には、特別な要件はございません。
清算後の会社書類の保管場所
→ 会社清算後の書類の保管場所については、会社法上明確な規定がございません。
ただし、会社法339条には、清算から3年後に、清算人が保管している会社清算時の書類は破棄可能とされています。
また税法によると、6年間は税務署が遡及して調査できることになっており、指摘事項が発生した場合の責務は、
当該事業年度の取締役になります。
上記より、保管場所という意味で、場所(バングラデシュ国内、海外等)は明確ではありませんが、
会社清算人もしくは取締役のいずれかが保管されているのが宜しいかと存じます。
清算後の指摘(主に税務)に関する責任範囲(株主及び取締役)とその遡及期間
→ 上述の通り、税法では6年間遡及し調査される可能性があります。
また取締役がその責務を負うことになります。
(実際は、会社清算後に税務番号をキャンセルするため、後に指摘されているケースは確認できません。)
清算前のローンの承認要否
→ 会社の任意清算自体は、ローンの承認なしでも進められると考えておりますが、
会社清算後に、残余財産を本国に送金する際、通常よりも時間を要することがリスクとして挙げられます。

Question- Do they need to get approval for the past loan which has not yet received approval from Bangladesh Bank? Or, can they remit back after winding up with the rest of company money?
Answer:
Yes. It needs to inform Bangladesh Bank for the past loan also. Because without the approval of Bangladesh Bank, the company cannot remit back the loan amount through Authorized Dealer (Commercial Bank of Ceylon).Even after winding up, to remit the rest loan amount with interest, it should be informed Bangladesh Bank.
So, Bangladesh Bank Approval is needed anyhow.
