BAJUS clarified that all jewelry establishments must adhere strictly to these published rates until further notice. Whilst statutory value-added tax (VAT) is included in the base pricing to prevent arbitrary overcharging, jewelers are authorised to apply separate making charges depending on the complexity of the craftsmanship and design. Standard guidelines regarding the exchange and purchase of pre-owned gold ornaments—excluding making charges, stone weights, and VAT—remain unchanged.

This latest adjustment follows a prior price hike on 15 August, when BAJUS raised 22-carat gold by BDT 2,158 to BDT 236,779 per bhori. At that time, 21-carat gold was fixed at BDT 226,165, 18-carat gold at BDT 194,206, and traditional gold at BDT 158,630 per bhori.
