Currently, users have to recharge for Tk 133.25 to get a talktime of Tk 100. With the recent hike, the price will increase to Tk 139 for the same talktime.
In simple words, if someone recharges with 100 Taka then 28 Taka will be deducted as tax. The user will get talktime equal to the remaining amount.
Along with this, the cost of purchasing a new SIM card has also increased as the value added tax (VAT) has been increased from Tk 200 to Tk 300 in the proposed budget.
