Bondholders across the country are hoping to win the top cash prize as the draw date nears.

Under State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) policy, the first prize is Rs3 million.

Three second prizes of Rs1 million each will also be awarded. A total of 1,696 third prizes of Rs18,500 each will go to winners.

The full list of winners will be published here once the National Savings Centre announces the results.

Prize bonds are available to all Pakistani citizens through commercial banks and National Savings Centres nationwide.

Officials say the bonds remain a popular investment, as the principal is fully secure and can be encashed at face value at any time without deductions.

Tax on winnings

For the 2026 tax year, prize winnings will attract a 15 per cent withholding tax for filers on the Active Taxpayers List (ATL). Non-filers will pay 30 per cent.

Under Section 156 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, this tax is final. It cannot be refunded or adjusted against other taxable income.
