Spend more than Rs 100 on something for yourself, keep the bill, and every qualifying transaction becomes one entry in a twice-monthly government draw. Pay with Khalti and you're entered automatically.
The idea is simple: get into the habit of giving and taking invoices, so real transactions get recorded — and prizes reward the people who do.
One transaction worth more than Rs 100, for your own personal use, to a seller who has a PAN.
Khalti and other registered payment providers enter you automatically. Paid in cash? Enter the bill yourself on the IRD portal.
Winners are picked automatically on the 1st and 16th — one for every day in the period, plus a fortnightly bumper.
You're contacted by phone and email. Bring your documents to the nearest IRD office within 15 days to collect.
Any final consumer buying goods or services in Nepal for their own use can take part. No entry fee, no sign-up, and no cap on how many separate bills you enter.
Not every Khalti payment is eligible. Utilities like electricity, internet and telephone, plus fuel and air tickets, fall inside the excluded list. But everyday retail payments above Rs 100 to a PAN-registered seller qualify — and they're entered for you automatically.
Prizes are announced at a gross figure, then a 25% windfall gain tax is deducted under Section 88Ka of the Income Tax Act, 2058. The daily amount is calculated backwards from a clean Rs 1 lakh payout.
No. There's no entry fee and no subscription — you simply need a qualifying payment.
No. Payments for business purposes are excluded. The program is for personal consumption only.
No. A bill from a seller without a PAN isn't eligible — encouraging sellers to register is part of the point of the program.
No. Utility payments like these are on the excluded list, along with telephone and internet services, fuel, vehicles, and air tickets.
No. If you pay with Khalti — or any registered payment service provider — your payment is entered automatically. There's nothing to fill in.
You enter the bill yourself through the IRD web portal, mobile app, or other electronic system, with these details:
The system runs an automated check before accepting the entry.
One. Each eligible invoice, and each Khalti payment, earns exactly one gift ticket. A single invoice can be entered only once — no duplicates — but there's no cap on the number of separate qualifying payments.
Within the period covered by the upcoming draw. Bills entered between the 1st and the last day of a month go into that month's program.
Twice a month, chosen automatically by the system:
Each period produces one winner for every day in it, plus one fortnightly bumper winner.
You'll be contacted on your mobile number and email. Winner names are also published on the Inland Revenue Department's website and social media.
15 days from the date the gift is announced. Apply at your nearest Inland Revenue Office in person or through an authorized representative.
The original invoice; a copy of an official identity document (national ID, citizenship certificate, passport, or driving licence); your bank account details; and your PAN.
The prize money is deposited into the Prime Minister's Natural Disaster Relief Fund. An unclaimed win is a lost win — so act quickly, and keep your bills until the draw for that period has passed.
You're notified by phone and email; names are published by the IRD.
Take your documents to the nearest Inland Revenue Office.
Once documents check out, the gift lands directly in your bank account.
Unclaimed prizes go to the PM's Natural Disaster Relief Fund.
