Prize bonds

Published October 22, 2014

THE winners of prize bonds have to go to the State Bank of Pakistan to cash their prizes.

This is troublesome for the prize winners as they have to travel from all over the city to go to the bank which is situated at Tower.

I suggest that either the State Bank open its branches in various parts of the city or authorise all National Bank branches to disburse prizes. It will disburden not only the prize winners but also the staff of the State Bank who can be put to some other important work.
