Prize bonds remain a popular savings option for many Pakistanis, offering a government-backed and secure way to preserve capital. Managed by the Central Directorate of National Savings (CDNS) in partnership with the central bank, the scheme has been running since the 1960s, providing citizens with a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation, as well as the chance to win substantial prizes.
Available in denominations ranging from Rs100 to Rs40,000, the prize bond system offers flexibility for individuals based on their investment capacities.
Winners can claim their prize money at designated banks or National Savings offices. Prize money is subject to tax, with income tax filers facing a 15% deduction, while non-filers will be taxed at a higher rate of 35%.
