The newly implemented Finance Act 2026–27 has kept tax rates on prize bond winnings unchanged, maintaining a 15 percent withholding tax for filers and a 30 percent rate for non-filers.
This clarification comes just ahead of the 107th draw for the Rs750 prize bond, scheduled for July 15, 2026, in Lahore.
The Finance Act came into effect on July 1 with the start of the new fiscal year, revising tax structures across several sectors. However, the federal government chose to leave the tax rates on prize bond winnings untouched.
As a result, active tax filers will continue to face a 15 percent deduction on their winnings, while non-filers will be penalized with a double rate of 30 percent.
Upcoming Rs750 Prize Bond Draw
The upcoming 107th draw in Lahore features the following prize breakdowns for the Rs750 denomination:
- First Prize: Rs1.5 million (awarded to 1 lucky winner)
- Second Prize: Rs500,000 each (awarded to 3 winners)
- Third Prize: Rs9,300 each (awarded to hundreds of participants)
Prize bonds remain a highly popular investment vehicle in Pakistan, particularly for citizens seeking interest-free returns.
Managed by the government, the scheme ensures that the principal investment remains entirely secure while giving holders the opportunity to win substantial cash prizes through quarterly draws.
Currently, National Savings offers these bonds in multiple denominations, including Rs100, Rs200, Rs750, Rs1,500, Rs7,500, Rs15,000, Rs25,000, and Rs40,000.
