      <title>Rs100 prize bond draw: Winners to be announced on August 17</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330468013/rs100-prize-bond-draw-winners-to-be-announced-on-august-17</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The National Savings Centre in Multan will hold Draw No. 55 for the Rs100 prize bond on Monday, August 17, 2026.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bondholders across the country are hoping to win the top cash prize as the draw date nears.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under the announced prize structure, one winner will receive the first prize of &lt;strong&gt;Rs700,000.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Three second-prize winners will receive &lt;strong&gt;Rs200,000&lt;/strong&gt; each.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Multiple winners will also receive the third prize of &lt;strong&gt;Rs1,000&lt;/strong&gt; each.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The full list of winners will be published here once the National Savings Centre announces the results.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3&gt;&lt;a id="tax-on-winnings" href="#tax-on-winnings" class="heading-permalink" aria-hidden="true" title="Permalink"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;Tax on winnings&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;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.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Under Section 156 of the Income Tax Ordinance, 2001, this tax is final. It cannot be refunded or adjusted against other taxable income.&lt;/p&gt;
