The government has fixed the minimum Fitra at Tk110 per person and the maximum at Tk2,805 for this year.
The decision was taken at a meeting of the National Fitra Determination Committee held on Wednesday morning at the conference hall of Baitul Mukarram National Mosque, according to a press release.
National Fitra Determination Committee President and Baitul Mukarram National Mosque Khatib Mufti Muhammad Abdul Malek presided over the meeting.
The committee unanimously decided that, in line with Islamic Shariah, Fitra may be paid in staple items including wheat, barley, raisins, dates or cheese.
The rates were fixed on the basis of market prices of the items collected from all divisions of the country.
Fitra is an obligatory charity distributed to the poor at the end of the holy month of Ramadan.
It must be paid before the Eid-ul-Fitr congregation.
