This year's minimum Fitra has been set at Tk 115 per individual, with a maximum at Tk 2,640.
Fitra is an obligatory charity distributed to the poor at the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan.
The decision was made at a virtual meeting of the National Fitra Fixing Committee held on Sunday with its chairman and Baitul Mukarram National Mosque’s Khatib Hafez Maulana Mufti Mohammad Ruhul Amin in the chair.
The rate of Fitra is fixed on the basis of market prices of flour, dates, cheese, raisins and some other essentials.
Fitra is paid to the poor before the jamaat (congregation) of Eid-ul-Fitr.
