How to Check Your Electricity Bill Online in Pakistan (2026)

Why one number works for eleven companies

All eleven WAPDA-descended distribution companies — LESCO, GEPCO, FESCO, IESCO, PESCO, HAZECO, MEPCO, HESCO, SEPCO, QESCO and TESCO — route consumer billing through a single government system operated by PITC, the Pakistan Information Technology Company. That is why one reference number format works across all of them, and why a single lookup can reach any of their bills.

K-Electric is the exception. It runs its own billing platform outside the PITC network because it is a vertically integrated private utility rather than a distribution-only company, so Karachi bills are looked up separately.

Finding your reference number

The reference number is printed at the top of any paper bill, usually beside your name and address. Depending on your company and when the meter was installed, it runs to roughly 10 to 14 digits.

If you have no bill to hand, the number can also appear on your meter installation card. Failing that, your local sub-division office can retrieve it from your address and CNIC — this is routine and does not require an appointment.

Checking the bill

1. 1

   Enter the number

   Type the reference number into the box at the top of any page on this site. The company is detected automatically from the number itself, so there is no dropdown to pick from.

2. 2

   Open the official bill

   You are taken to the official billing system rather than shown a copy. The figures you see are the ones on record, not a cached or reconstructed version.

3. 3

   Check the reading first

   Before the amount, look at the current meter reading and whether it is marked actual or estimated. Everything else on the bill is derived from that number.

4. 4

   Download or print

   The official portal provides a printable duplicate, which banks and payment counters accept in place of the posted bill.

When the lookup does not work

Number not found

Usually a typo, or a number entered with spaces. Re-check digit by digit against the printed bill before assuming the connection is the problem.

New connection

It can take several weeks after a new connection is energised before the first bill is generated and appears in the system. There is nothing to look up until the first billing cycle completes.

Recently replaced meter

A meter change sometimes issues a new reference number. If an old number stops working shortly after a replacement, ask your sub-division office to confirm the current one.

Portal slow or down

The official systems are government-run and occasionally unavailable, particularly at month end when everyone checks at once. This is a timing problem rather than an account problem — try again later.
