Below is everything you need to know before the draw: when it happens, how much you can win, how much tax will be cut, which bonds qualify, and how to check your number once the results are out.
Rs. 750 Prize Bond Draw at a Glance
| Detail | Info |
|---|---|
| Prize Bond | Rs. 750 |
| Draw Date | Thursday, October 15, 2026 |
| City | Rawalpindi |
| Total Winning Numbers | 1,700 |
This draw is part of the annual prize bond schedule issued by the State Bank of Pakistan for 2026. It is the fourth Rs. 750 draw of the year. The earlier ones were held in Peshawar on January 15, Quetta on April 15 and Lahore on July 15.
How Many People Can Win?
Out of all the bonds in circulation, 1,700 numbers will be declared winners, split across three prize categories:
- First prize: 1 winning number
- Second prize: 3 winning numbers
- Third prize: 1,696 winning numbers
The third category is where most of the winners are, so even if you miss the top spot, your odds of landing some prize are far better than the headline numbers suggest.
Rs. 750 Prize Bond Prize Money
| Position | Number of Winners | Prize |
|---|---|---|
| 1st | 1 | Rs. 15 lac (Rs. 1,500,000) |
| 2nd | 3 | Rs. 5 lac each (Rs. 500,000) |
| 3rd | 1,696 | Rs. 9,300 each |
These amounts follow the official National Prize Bonds schedule.
Tax on Prize Money: What You Actually Receive
Here is the part many bondholders overlook. Prize money is subject to withholding tax. Tax filers are charged 15 percent, while non-filers are charged 30 percent. The gap between the two is large, and it grows with the size of the prize.
| Position | Prize | Filer Receives | Non-Filer Receives |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1st | Rs. 15 lac | Rs. 12.75 lac | Rs. 10.5 lac |
| 2nd | Rs. 5 lac | Rs. 4.25 lac | Rs. 3.5 lac |
| 3rd | Rs. 9,300 | Rs. 7,905 | Rs. 6,510 |
On the first prize alone, a non-filer takes home Rs. 2.25 lac less than a filer. If you hold bonds regularly, being on the filer list is worth considering.
Which Bonds Are Eligible for the October 15 Draw?
Only bonds issued at least 60 days before the draw date can take part. National Savings calls the two-month window before each draw the “shut period,” during which fresh bonds of that denomination are not sold.
So if you bought Rs. 750 bonds recently, check the purchase date. Bonds bought inside the shut period will not be included in the October 15 draw and will have to wait for the next one.
How to Check Rs. 750 Prize Bond Winning Numbers
Winning numbers are only available after the draw is held on October 15. Nothing published before that date is an official result, so be careful with unofficial lists circulating on social media.
Once the draw is done, you can check your bonds in these steps:
- Open the National Savings prize bond draw search.
- Select the Rs. 750 denomination and the relevant draw date.
- Enter your bond number to see whether it appears among the winners.
You can also download the complete Rs. 750 draw list published by National Savings and compare your numbers against it, which is handy if you hold many bonds.
How to Claim Your Prize
If your number is on the list, prize claims can generally be lodged three to four working days after the draw. Keep your bond safe and undamaged, and do not hand it over to anyone who approaches you offering to “claim it for a fee.”
