Which bond should you buy?
Rs. 100 and Rs. 200 — starting small
The cheapest way to take part. The prize money is smaller, but so is the outlay, and the third prize list is long, so small wins are relatively common. Popular as gifts and for children's savings.
Rs. 750 and Rs. 1,500 — the most widely held
These two are the sweet spot for most families: affordable enough to buy several, with a first prize of Rs. 1.5 million and Rs. 3 million respectively. The Rs. 750 bond in particular is the most traded bond in Pakistan.
Rs. 25,000 and Rs. 40,000 Premium — for larger savings
Premium bonds are registered: they are tied to your CNIC and a bank account, so they cannot be lost, stolen or used by anyone else, and prize money is credited automatically. With a first prize of Rs. 30 million and Rs. 80 million, they are the serious end of the market. They require a CNIC and a bank account to buy.
Bearer vs premium — the practical difference
| Bearer (100–1,500) | Premium (25,000 / 40,000) | |
|---|---|---|
| Registered to you | No | Yes, against your CNIC |
| If lost or stolen | Whoever holds it can encash it | Can be reported and replaced |
| Buying | Cash over the counter | CNIC + bank account required |
| Prize payment | Claimed in person | Credited to your bank account |
| Best for | Small and medium holdings | Large holdings |
Discontinued bonds
Rs. 7,500, Rs. 15,000, Rs. 25,000 and Rs. 40,000 bearer bonds have been withdrawn from circulation and no longer take part in any draw. If you still hold them, take them to a National Savings Centre to encash or convert them — they cannot win a prize.
