প্রাইজবন্ড কিনবেন কীভাবে?

Buying a 100 BDT prize bond approved by the Government of Bangladesh is very simple. Any adult citizen of the country can purchase one without a bank account or any special eligibility. The complete process is described step by step below.

Where to Buy?

• Bangladesh Bank: Prize bonds can be purchased directly from any branch of Bangladesh Bank in Dhaka and other divisional cities.
• Scheduled Commercial Banks: Any branch of public and private scheduled banks (e.g., Sonali, Agrani, Janata, Rupali, BRAC, Dutch-Bangla, etc.) sells prize bonds.
• Post Offices: Prize bonds can be purchased from any branch of Bangladesh Post Office.
• National Savings Bureau: Prize bonds are also available at branches of the National Savings Directorate.

What Do You Need?

• National ID (NID): A photocopy of your National ID card or passport may be required at the time of purchase.
• Cash: Each bond costs 100 BDT. Prepare cash or a cheque according to how many bonds you wish to buy.
• Form Submission: A simple purchase form must be filled out at the bank or post office, with your name, address, and ID number.

What to Do After Purchase?

After buying the bond, store it in a safe place. Note down the bond number in a separate notebook or on your phone. Remember, the bond becomes eligible for the draw only after a minimum of 2 months from the date of purchase. A draw is held every three months — after the results are published, come to this site and check your number immediately.

What If the Bond Is Lost?

A prize bond is a bearer instrument — whoever holds it can claim the prize. If lost, contact the relevant bank or Bangladesh Bank and file a GD (General Diary) at the nearest police station. However, since there is no guaranteed method of recovering a lost bond, you should always store it with care.
