The Rs. 25,000 prize bond is one of the savings instruments issued by the Central Directorate of National Savings (CDNS) and managed through the State Bank of Pakistan. It's popular because it does two things at once. It keeps your money completely safe, since the bond never loses its face value and can be cashed back any time, and it gives you a real chance at a cash prize at every draw. Your savings stay protected while you wait for the draw, which is why so many Pakistani families keep Rs. 25,000 bonds year after year.

Rs. 25,000 prize bond prize structure

Every Rs. 25,000 draw pays out a fixed set of prizes decided by the State Bank. Here's the full breakdown so you know exactly what your bond could win:

Prize	Winners per draw	Amount each
First prize	1	Rs. 50,000,000
Second prize	3	Rs. 15,000,000
Third prize	1,696	Rs. 312,000

Notice that the third prize has 1,696 winners in every single draw. That's the part people overlook. While the first prize of Rs. 50,000,000 grabs attention, your realistic chance of winning something sits with that long third-prize list. Plenty of Rs. 25,000 holders pick up a third prize over the years without ever landing the top amount, which is exactly why checking every draw matters.

When is the Rs. 25,000 prize bond draw held?

The Rs. 25,000 bond is drawn twice a year. Because it's a premium bond, it also pays a profit twice a year on top of the prize draw, which the regular bonds don't. That six-monthly profit has its own 10% withholding tax, separate from the tax on prize money. Premium bonds like the Rs. 25,000 are registered and fully documented, rather than bearer bonds. We publish the Rs. 25,000 result within minutes of the official State Bank announcement, so you can check your number on the same day the draw happens. You'll find every upcoming date on our draw schedule page.

What to do if your Rs. 25,000 bond wins

If your number is on the winning list, the first thing to do is keep the bond completely safe. A prize bond is a bearer instrument, which means whoever physically holds it is entitled to claim the prize. Treat a winning Rs. 25,000 bond exactly like cash, because if it's lost, whoever finds it can claim it. Here's how the claim works:

1. Keep the original winning bond safe. It's your only proof of ownership.
2. Take it to the nearest National Savings Centre or a designated State Bank of Pakistan office in your city.
3. Bring your original CNIC and sign the back of the bond.
4. Fill in the prize claim form. The office verifies your number against their official record.
5. Prizes up to Rs. 1,250 are paid in cash at the counter. Larger amounts come by demand draft or bank transfer, usually within three to four working days.

One thing people forget: you have six years from the draw date to claim. After that the prize is forfeited permanently. So don't leave a winning Rs. 25,000 bond sitting in a drawer. This is also why checking old draws matters, because an unclaimed win from a year or two ago might still be collectable.

Tax on Rs. 25,000 prize bond winnings

You won't get the full prize amount in your hand, because the government deducts withholding tax at the moment you claim, under Section 156 of the Income Tax Ordinance. The rate depends entirely on your tax filer status. An active filer with the FBR pays 15%. A non-filer pays 30%, which is exactly double. On a Rs. 50,000,000 first prize, that difference is enormous, and it's the same win either way. The single best thing you can do before a draw is register as a filer, because it cuts your prize tax in half and also helps you with loans and other financial paperwork. Remember that the Rs. 25,000 premium bond also pays a six-monthly profit, and that profit carries its own separate 10% withholding tax.
