- 2. Making Charges (Mojuri): Usually ৳500 - ৳2,000 per bhori depending on the design.
- 3. VAT: Currently 5% on the total value of the gold and making charges.
Investment Strategy: Gold vs Sanchayapatra
While Sanchayapatra gives you fixed monthly income, Gold offers Capital Appreciation and Portability. Over the last 5 years, gold has outperformed many fixed-income schemes in Bangladesh due to the devaluation of the Taka against the Dollar.
