Holders of Rs. 100 prize bonds now have a date to mark on the calendar. The Central Directorate of National Savings has confirmed that Draw No. 56 for the Rs. 100 denomination will be held on Monday, November 16, 2026, in Faisalabad. The announcement, carried in the official prize bond draw schedule issued by National Savings, settles the one question every holder asks in the run-up to a draw: when and where the winning numbers will be picked. Until that day arrives, the result remains awaited, and no winning list for this draw exists yet.
Draw date and venue
National Savings has scheduled the November 2026 draw for Rs. 100 prize bonds in Faisalabad, continuing the scheme’s long-standing practice of rotating draws between cities across the country. The city named in the schedule is the venue for the ceremony, not a condition of winning: a bond bought anywhere in Pakistan stands exactly the same chance as one bought in Faisalabad itself. The draw number matters more than the venue. This is the fifty-sixth draw in the Rs. 100 series, and holders should make sure they are checking the list for Draw No. 56 rather than an older list from a previous quarter.
Draws for the standard denominations are held four times a year, once every quarter, and National Savings publishes the full annual schedule at the start of each calendar year. The Rs. 100 bond follows the same quarterly rhythm as the Rs. 200, Rs. 750 and Rs. 1,500 bonds, while the registered Premium Prize Bonds of Rs. 25,000 and Rs. 40,000 run on their own separate schedule, and each denomination has its own independent draw sequence.
How to check the results
Once the draw has taken place, holders can check their numbers through the official National Savings website at savings.gov.pk. The results are published as a complete draw list, and the site’s prize bond section allows holders to select the Rs. 100 denomination and open the list for the relevant draw. The straightforward way to check is to compare the six-digit number printed on the bond, together with its series code, against the winning numbers in that official list, and holders who prefer to keep a copy can download the full list from the same official source rather than relying on forwarded messages that may be incomplete or out of date.
It is worth being careful about where results are checked, because prize bonds attract fraudsters. National Savings and the State Bank of Pakistan do not telephone holders or send WhatsApp messages to tell them they have won, and for ordinary bearer bonds there is not even a registered phone number against the bond for anyone to call. Any caller claiming a win and asking for a fee or personal details should be treated as a fraudster; only the official lists count.
Prize money and claim rules
The Rs. 100 scheme offers prizes in three tiers, with one first prize, a smaller set of second prizes and a large number of third prizes in each draw. Published prize tables for the denomination list the first prize at Rs. 700,000, the second prizes at Rs. 200,000 each and the third prizes at Rs. 1,000 each, with more than a thousand third prizes on offer. Those are gross figures, because National Savings applies withholding tax to prize winnings at the time of payment. The stated rates are 15 per cent for filers appearing on the Active Taxpayers List and 30 per cent for non-filers, so the amount actually received is the prize minus the applicable tax.
Not every bond in circulation can win in a given draw. National Savings requires that a bond must have been issued at least 60 days before the draw date to qualify, a rule that also creates a shut period before each draw during which sales of that denomination are stopped. A bond bought too close to the draw simply waits for the next one. Winners have plenty of time to come forward: prize money can be claimed within six years of the relevant draw, with smaller amounts payable through National Savings centres and participating banks and larger amounts handled through State Bank offices. Winners need the original bond and the required documents, and the official claim form itself carries no charge.
When the results will be available
For now, holders can only wait. The draw is scheduled for November 16, 2026, in Faisalabad, and the winning numbers will not be announced before that day. Once the ceremony is complete, the results will be available through the official National Savings website, where holders can check their numbers and download the complete list. For most holders it will end in disappointment, as it always does, but the bond itself remains intact and ready for the next quarterly draw. In a country where small savers value safety above speculation, that is precisely the point: the money is never lost, the chance comes round every three months, and on November 16 the Rs. 100 holders will find out whether this is finally their draw.
