The Bangladesh Jewellers Association (Bajus) has raised the price of gold in the local market, reversing three consecutive rounds of cuts, with a hike of Tk 1,050 per bhori.<\/p>\n
According to a notice issued by Bajus on Saturday morning, the new price of 22-carat gold, inclusive of VAT, has been fixed at Tk 232,930 per bhori, effective from 10 am the same day.<\/p>\n
The association said the adjustment was made in view of the overall market situation following a rise in the price of pure gold (tejabi gold) in the local market.<\/p>\n
Under the new pricing, per bhori (11.664 grams) of 21-carat gold will cost Tk 222,491, 18-carat gold Tk 191,056, and traditional (Sanatan) gold Tk 156,064, all inclusive of VAT.<\/p>\n
Bajus said the new rates will remain in effect at all jewellery shops until further notice, though making charges will apply depending on jewellery design.<\/p>\n
Since VAT is already included in the sale price of gold and silver ornaments, it cannot be collected separately from customers.<\/p>\n
The association’s existing rules for ornament exchange and purchase, excluding specified VAT, making charges and stone costs, will remain unchanged.<\/p>\n
Bajus had last adjusted gold prices in the morning of September 11, cutting the rate by Tk 2,158 per bhori to fix 22-carat gold at Tk 231,880 per bhori including VAT, effective from 10 am that day.<\/p>\n
At the time, 21-carat gold was priced at Tk 221,441, 18-carat at Tk 190,123, and Sanatan gold at Tk 155,306 per bhori.<\/p>\n
So far in 2026, gold prices have been adjusted 115 times in the local market, with 57 hikes, 57 cuts, and one VAT adjustment.<\/p>\n
Despite the rise in gold prices, silver prices remained unchanged. Currently, 22-carat silver, including VAT, is being sold at Tk 5,016 per bhori, while 21-carat silver is priced at Tk 4,782, 18-carat at Tk 4,082, and Sanatan silver at Tk 3,091 per bhori.<\/p>\n
Silver prices have been adjusted 69 times so far in 2026, with 35 hikes and 34 cuts.<\/p>\n
