ISLAMABAD: Prize bonds are one of the safest investment schemes in Pakistan. The biggest advantage of these bonds is that the principal loss can be rewarded. Cash prizes are awarded to the first, second, and third-place winners in result draws that take place every three months.
It is a fact that the chances of winning prize bonds are very low, but the prize is so high that people are willing to take the chance. Another major reason for the great interest of people is the regulation of prize bonds by National Savings which comes under the central bank.
National Savings Bank regularly announces the prize bond draw, usually held every three months. The 100 prize bond draw #45 was held today, February 17, 2025, at the National Savings Centre in Rawalpindi.

Tax on 1500 Prize Bond Money
To collect prize bond money, the winners submit their claim form at the respective counter of any offices of SBP Banking Services Corporation.
The SBP hands over prize money up to Rs20,000 on the counter (subject to clearance of bond) the same day, while the prize money over Rs20,000 is given through payment order on/after the dates given to claimants for collecting the prize money.
As per details, the State Bank of Pakistan deducts a 15 per cent income tax on the amount of prize money for the filer, while the non-filers are subjected to pay a 30 per cent tax on the amount.
For first prize of 3,000,000 would be taxed at 450,000 for a tax filer, while a non-filer would pay 900,000. The second prize of 1,000,000 would result in 150,000 in taxes for a tax filer and 300,000 for a non-filer.
The third prize of 18,500 is taxed at 2,775 for tax filers and 5,550 for non-filers. Essentially, tax filers pay a lower tax amount compared to non-filers, reflecting the different tax rates applied to them.
