Prize Bond Tax on Winnings
Under the current National Savings policy, withholding tax is deducted from prize money at source according to the winner’s Active Taxpayers List status.
15% of the prize value is currently deducted at source for filers.
30% of the prize value is currently deducted at source for non-filers.
Tax rates can change through government policy or tax legislation. Check the latest official rate before claiming a large prize or making a financial decision.
Premium Prize Bonds Are Registered
The active Rs.25,000 and Rs.40,000 Premium Prize Bonds are registered in the investor’s name. National Savings states that Premium Prize Bonds have quarterly prize draws, and their prize money and profit are handled through the registered banking arrangement. They should never be presented as the old bearer Rs.25,000 or Rs.40,000 bonds.
Discontinued Prize Bonds
The following National Prize Bonds were bearer instruments and have been withdrawn from circulation. They are listed only for historical clarity.
