On August 4, ACC had asked the couple to be present at the commission office on August 7.
But instead of showing up, Mahi and his wife sent an application to the ACC for time extension.
The ACC granted the application and set the new date.
The letter said there are allegations against Mahi B Chowdhury that he laundered money to the United States and amassed illegal wealth.
They have been called to reveal the source of the money, an ACC official said.
The ACC is also taking support and assistance from different banks and other institutions to obtain information about the wealth of Mahi and his wife.
Mahi is the son of former president AQM Badruddoza Chowdhury and also the joint secretary general of Bikalpadhara Bangladesh political party.
