The gold prices jumped again in the local market on Monday. The new prices came into effect at 10am the same day.
Under the revised structure, 21-carat gold is now priced at Tk213,043 per bhori, while 18-carat gold stands at Tk182,950 per bhori. Traditional gold has been set at Tk149,474 per bhori.
BAJUS said the revised rates will remain in effect at all jewellery outlets until further notice. However, making charges will continue to vary depending on the design of the jewellery.
The association also clarified that VAT is already included in the retail price of gold ornaments and therefore cannot be charged separately from customers. Existing rules regarding the exchange and purchase of jewellery, excluding specified VAT, labour charges and the value of stones, will remain unchanged.
