How Prize Bond Works

Preface

KaliaGroup has played an important role in enhancing the sale of Prize Bonds nation wide. More over, they have also given many useful suggestions and feedbacks to the Government to run this scheme in a profitable and successful manner. In fact, the recent withdrawal of the series-wise draw system was solely due to Kalia Group’s tireless efforts. And this Group is also persuading the Govt. to increase the number of prizes in a series, which hopefully, like in the past on Group's demand, would be implemented in the near future. How To Check Prize Bonds.

Step 1: First of all select the denomination of the Prize Bonds.
Step 2: Enter your email and click the next button.
Step 3: Once you accept the terms of service, a new page opens. Write your PB's number in the 'To' and 'From' boxes. If you have only one prize bond, write the same number in both the boxes, then click the Add button.
Step 4: Select the draw number which you want to check from the combo box provided there.
Step 5: Finally click on the Check button. The system will inform you if there is a win or not.
Tips

Only that Prize Bond whose date of issuance is at least 60 days prior to the draw date, is entitled for a win.
There was a series wise draw before 15th November 2000. Therefore, to claim for those prize(s) which were announced in the draws held before 15th November 2000, the prize bond's series should also match with that of draw result. From the draws held after 15th November 2000, you don’t have to match the series but the Numbers only.
As validity of a prize is six years, so you may claim your prize(s) till six years from the date of that particular draw.
Some of the Prize Bonds are withdrawn by the Government of Pakistan and now no more can be encashed from any authorized Government body. However prizes announced on them can be claimed. As validity of a prize is six years, so you may claim your prize(s) till six years from the date of that particular draw.
