Under the new pricing, 22-carat gold will now be sold at Tk 151,282 per bhori, while 21-carat gold will cost Tk 144,400 per bhori. Meanwhile, the price for 18-carat gold has been set at Tk 123,767 per bhori, and gold of traditional quality will be sold at Tk 101,932 per bhori.<br>BAJUS further stated that buyers must pay an additional 5% government-mandated VAT and a minimum wage charge of 6% set by the association.
