The Central Directorate of National Savings has confirmed the date and venue for the next Rs. 1,500 prize bond draw, giving millions of bondholders across Pakistan a date to mark in their diaries. Draw No. 108 will be held on Monday, November 16, 2026, in Hyderabad, and it will be the fourth and final scheduled Rs. 1,500 draw of the year. For people who hold bonds of this denomination, the announcement ends the waiting and sets the timetable for checking results, claiming any prize, and planning what comes next.
Prize bonds occupy a distinctive place in Pakistan’s savings culture. Unlike a bank deposit, which earns interest, a prize bond offers its holder a chance to win a cash prize in a public draw while the original investment remains intact and can be redeemed. That combination of safety and excitement has made prize bonds popular for generations, and National Savings draws are followed closely by holders who check their numbers with hope and, often, with family gathered around. The Rs. 1,500 denomination sits in the middle of the range: affordable enough for ordinary savers, yet carrying a first prize large enough to change a household’s fortunes.
Rs. 1,500 Prize Bond Draw No. 108 Date and Venue
According to the official National Savings draw schedule, the November 2026 draw will take place in Hyderabad, where the winning numbers will be selected under the national prize bond scheme. The first prize for Draw No. 108 is Rs. 3,000,000, a sum that explains why the draw attracts such close attention. Until the draw is held, the result status remains awaited, and bondholders are advised to wait for the official announcement rather than trust unofficial lists circulating online or on social media.
How to Check Rs. 1,500 Prize Bond Draw No. 108 Results
Once the draw has taken place on November 16, bondholders will be able to check their winning numbers through the official National Savings website at www.savings.gov.pk. After the draw, applicants can open the Prize Bonds section, select the Rs. 1,500 denomination, and access the latest available draw results. They can download the complete winning numbers list and compare their own bond numbers with the officially announced results.
National Savings also provides an online search facility for checking winning numbers. Holders should use only the official website and official lists, since unofficial results circulating online can contain errors.
Which Rs. 1,500 Prize Bonds Are Eligible for the Draw
Not every Rs. 1,500 bond in circulation will qualify for Draw No. 108, and National Savings has set out the eligibility rule clearly. Prize bonds must have been issued at least 60 days before the relevant draw date to qualify for prize money. The authority also observes a 60-day shut period before a draw, during which it stops selling prize bonds of the relevant denomination through its authorised outlets.
The rule exists to keep the draw fair and orderly. Holders should check the issue date of their bonds before checking results; a bond bought too recently will simply have to wait for a later draw, since the bond itself remains valid and redeemable.
How to Claim Rs. 1,500 Prize Bond Winnings
Successful bondholders must follow the official prize claim procedure after National Savings announces the winning numbers. According to the authority, claimants must complete the prescribed prize claim form and provide their original winning prize bond, a copy of their valid Computerised National Identity Card, and a signed photocopy of the winning bond. These requirements are designed to verify that the person claiming the prize is genuinely entitled to it, and to prevent fraudulent claims.
Bondholders can obtain the prescribed claim form and further instructions through the official National Savings website. They should also note that the authority allows winners to claim prize money within six years of the relevant draw date. That is a generous window, but it is not indefinite, and a winning bond tucked away in a drawer and forgotten could eventually lose its value as a prize claim. Checking promptly and claiming in good time remains the wise approach.
Tax Deduction on Rs. 1,500 Prize Bond Winnings
National Savings applies withholding tax to prize bond winnings according to the holder’s tax status. Under the rates published by the authority, filers face a 15 per cent withholding tax, while non-filers face a 30 per cent deduction. The applicable tax will be deducted from the prize amount when the authorities process the payment, so the sum a winner actually receives will be less than the headline prize figure.
The difference between the two rates is large on a first prize of Rs. 3,000,000, and it is one more reason for citizens to maintain filer status. Winners should factor the deduction into their expectations.
What Happens Next
For now, the message to holders is straightforward. Note the date, Monday, November 16, 2026, and the venue, Hyderabad. Check only the official National Savings website after the draw, confirm that your bonds meet the 60-day eligibility rule, and if you are fortunate enough to hold a winning number, claim promptly with the correct documents and an understanding of the tax that will apply. For millions of savers, that single draw in Hyderabad could turn an ordinary November day into a memorable one.
