Do you ask for a bill after you shop? If not, this is your sign to start. The Government of Nepal now pays you for it.
The Inland Revenue Department (IRD) runs the Taxpayer Incentive Prize Program, 2083. Take a bill, register it online, and you get a real chance to win cash. Some winners take home Rs. 10 lakh. This guide breaks the whole thing down in plain, simple steps.
What Is the Taxpayer Incentive Prize Program?
Taxpayer Incentive Prize Program is a government scheme that rewards you for taking a bill after you buy something. The IRD wants shopkeepers and buyers to record real sales. More bills mean more accurate tax records. So instead of just asking people to do it, the government now pays for it.
Who Can Join?
You are eligible if:
- You are an individual buying for personal use, not for business.
- Your purchase is worth more than Rs. 100 in one transaction.
- The purchase is made inside Nepal.
- You get a genuine PAN or VAT bill from a seller who is registered with a PAN.
Which Bills Are NOT Eligible?
A few purchases don’t qualify, even if you have a bill:
- Bills used for business or commercial purposes.
- Bills issued to a government office or public body.
- Telephone, internet, and electricity bills.
- Vehicle purchases and air ticket purchases.
- Purchases from a seller who has no PAN.
Also, one bill or one digital payment can only be used once. You can’t register the same bill twice.
Two Ways to Enter: Cash or Digital Payment
1. If You Pay in Cash
Follow these steps:
- Keep your original bill safe right after you buy something.
- Go to the official website: prize.ird.gov.np.
- Enter the bill number, the seller’s PAN, and the total amount. The bill date is generated of the particular date.
- Add Payer Details, your Name, and your Mobile Number.
- Click Generate Prize Coupon.

6. Wait till the Prize Coupon is generated. Keep the receipt of the prize coupon safe with you. The receipt of the coupon can be downloaded as an image or pdf.

2. If You Pay Digitally
This is the easiest way to join. If you pay more than Rs. 100 through a digital payment service, mobile banking, a QR code, or a card, your purchase is added to the program automatically. No form, no typing, no waiting.
This is where digital banking pays off twice. An app like Global Smart Plus lets you scan a QR code or tap your card in seconds.

How Much Money Can You Win?
Here are the real prize amounts, straight from the official program:
- Daily prize: One winner is picked every single day. The prize is Rs. 1,33,334.
- Fortnightly bumper prize: Winners are picked twice a month, on the 1st and the 16th. Each round has one bumper winner, who gets Rs. 10,00,000. That’s two Rs. 10 lakh winners every month.
Keep in mind: a 25% withholding tax applies on windfall gains, so this amount is deducted before the prize reaches your account.
How Are Winners Chosen?
The IRD uses an automated system for the draw. Here’s the timeline:
- The draw on the 1st of the month covers purchases from the 16th to the end of the previous month.
- The draw on the 16th of the month covers purchases from the 1st to the 15th of that month.
Winner names go up on the IRD website and social media. Winners also get a message on their mobile number and email.
How to Claim Your Prize If You Win
Winning is only half the job. Here’s what to do next:
- Apply at your nearest Inland Revenue Office within 5 days of the announcement. You or an authorized person can do this.
- Carry your original bill.
- Bring an ID document: citizenship certificate, national ID, passport, or driving license.
- Give your PAN and your bank account details.
- The IRD verifies everything and transfers the prize to your bank account within 10 days.
If you miss the 5-day window, the prize money goes to the Prime Minister Disaster Relief Fund instead. So don’t sit on good news.
One quick tip: make sure the bank account you give is active and ready to receive funds fast. If you don’t have one yet, opening a Global IME Bank account online takes just a few minutes, so you’re not scrambling to set one up after you win.
Why the Government Started This Program
A lot of small purchases in Nepal happen without any bill. This hurts tax collection and hides real business income. So the IRD built this program to:
- Build a habit of asking for a bill at every purchase.
- Increase honest tax reporting from sellers.
- Reward regular consumers, not just businesses.
Quick Tips to Remember
- Register your cash bills within the time the IRD sets. Don’t delay.
- Never throw away an original bill before you register it.
- Pay digitally when you can. It’s faster and it enters you automatically.
- One bill, one entry. Duplicate entries don’t count.
- Keep the official policy handy: Taxpayer Incentive Gift Program Operating Procedures, 2083.
Taking a bill takes a few seconds. Registering it takes a minute. But it can turn an ordinary purchase into a real cash prize. So the next time you shop, ask for your bill, register it, or better yet, pay digitally and skip a step.
