Central Directorate of National Savings (CDNS) is the owner of this scheme and decides in all
policy related matters with regard to this scheme. Prize Bonds are printed by PSPC. State bank of
Pakistan issued the prize bond on behalf of the government. Generation of funds and the usage of
funds in the productive manner is the main reason behind the issuance of prize bond. Sale and
purchase of bonds occurs in open period (duration of 1 month after draw) and is carried out
through the 16 Field offices of State bank of Pakistan. The bonds can be en-cashed at any time at
the cash counter of SBP BSC or any commercial bank, after checking that bond is genuine or
not. The draw is held by manual system as per Draw Schedule issued by CDNS every year and
proper Draw committee is arranged. Draw of bonds of each denomination is held once in a
quarter in a year. To be included in draw it is necessary to purchase prize bond at least 2 months
before draw.
