Pakistan Prize Bond Draw Schedule 2026 — All Dates & Full Details You Must Know!
Prize bonds are a government‑backed savings instrument in Pakistan that give you a chance to win cash prizes through scheduled draws instead of earning interest. If you own or plan to buy prize bonds in 2026, it’s helpful to know when the draws will happen, which denominations are included, and where they will be held.
What Are Prize Bonds?
Prize bonds are issued by the National Savings of Pakistan under the supervision of the State Bank of Pakistan. You buy them at their face value and hold them — there is no expiry date, and you can encash them anytime. In scheduled prize draws, your bond number might be selected to win cash rewards.
Every bond, whether Rs. 100, 200, 750, 1,500, 25,000, or 40,000, has an equal chance to win in the draw as long as it is listed for that particular denomination’s draw.
