Bank of Ceylon (BOC) recently concluded the latest season of its esteemed ‘Pita Pita Rata Thegi’ programme with the handover of a luxurious house to the fortunate winner, marking itself as a pioneering bank to award a house under a programme designed for 
migrant workers.


This milestone event marks the culmination of a campaign aimed at incentivising Sri Lankan expatriates to remit their hard-earned foreign currency securely back to their families and loved ones.


The third edition of BOC’s Pita Pita Rata Thegi promotion offered expatriates the opportunity to win valuable gifts in daily, weekly and monthly draws, including the grand prize a house worth Rs.30 million. With multiple chances to win, participants eagerly awaited the announcement of the lucky recipient of the coveted house.


Following a rigorous selection process, BOC announced K.K. Ruwan Chinthaka as the recipient of the grand prize a fully-furnished house valued at Rs.30 million. The handing over ceremony took place recently at Millennium City - River View in Katunayake where Chinthaka received the keys to their new home.


“At BOC, we prioritise our customers with utmost care. Recognising the aspirations of those working abroad to own a home, we’ve taken a special initiative to fulfil our loyal customers’ dream by gifting them a house. This embodies our commitment to realising our customers’ aspirations, a testament to the deep appreciation we hold for their loyalty,” elucidated BOC General Manager 
W.P. Russel Fonseka. 


Situated in the serene setting of Katunayake, the luxurious house promises a life of comfort and tranquillity for Chinthaka and his family. Complete with modern amenities and landscaped gardens, the house aims to tick off one of the main reasons why most Sri Lankans migrate for job 
opportunities overseas. 


Expressing their gratitude, Chinthaka thanked BOC for the life-changing opportunity and reiterated the importance of responsible 
financial management.
“I am truly honoured and grateful to BOC for this precious gift. Winning this house is a dream come true for me and my family,” said Chinthaka.
