How to Check Your LESCO Bill Online

To check your LESCO bill online here, you need the reference number from a recent bill, so keep one near you. The rest takes only a few seconds.

  1. 1 Find the 14-digit reference number on a recent LESCO bill. It is printed at the top, and the image in the next section shows exactly where.
  2. 2 Type the number into the box above. You can paste it with spaces or dashes, and the form cleans it up for you.
  3. 3 Tap Check Bill, and your official LESCO bill opens in a new tab on the PITC portal, with the current amount and due date.
  4. 4 Save a copy from there if you need one. Your browser's print option can save the page as a PDF or send it to a printer.

The box at the top takes the reference number only, because that is the number that opens LESCO bills on the PITC portal. If the 7 digit customer ID is all you have, the customer ID section below shows the official ways to use it.

How to Find Your LESCO Reference Number

Your LESCO reference number is usually 14 digits long, printed at the top of every paper bill near your name and address. On most bills it is written as Reference No or Ref No, and it is sometimes printed with a gap in the middle, like 1234 5678 901234. Type it here with no spaces between the numbers.

Be careful not to confuse the reference number with the customer ID or the meter number. The customer ID is shorter, and the meter number is the number printed on the meter itself. The long number at the top is the one the PITC portal asks for.

If you cannot find it: official help

If the number is not on anything you have, LESCO has an official lookup on its own website that finds it with your CNIC or your 7 digit customer ID. It takes a minute:

  1. Go to lesco.gov.pk, open the Customer Services menu, and click CNIC Registration.
    CNIC Registration sits in the Customer Services menu on lesco.gov.pk.
    LESCO website navigation with the Customer Services menu highlighted

    CNIC Registration sits in the Customer Services menu on lesco.gov.pk.
  2. On the CNIC Registration Record page, choose Search by CNIC to find your reference number with your CNIC, or choose Search by Customer ID or Reference Number to use your 7 digit customer ID.
    Both search options sit on the CNIC Registration Record page.
    LESCO CNIC Registration Record page with the two search links highlighted

    Both search options sit on the CNIC Registration Record page.
  3. Enter your number and tap Fetch Records. Your record opens, and the reference number is shown in it.
    Enter the CNIC and tap Fetch Records, and the record shows your reference number.
    LESCO search form with the CNIC field and Fetch Records button highlighted

    Enter the CNIC and tap Fetch Records, and the record shows your reference number.

Your LESCO subdivision office can also find the number for you, take your CNIC and proof that the connection is yours. Once you have the number, it is also worth registering it at the official PITC portal at mnr.pitc.com.pk. You enter your reference number, then your CNIC and mobile number, and confirm with a code sent to your phone. After that, your account is properly linked to you.

LESCO Bill Check by Customer ID or Serial Number

Many people search for a LESCO bill check by customer ID, by serial number, or by meter number, so it helps to know what each one means. The customer ID, also called the consumer ID, is a 7 digit number that names your account, and it is printed on the bill near the reference number. People often say serial number for the same number on the bill, so it usually points back to the reference number. The meter number is the number printed on your electricity meter, and it identifies the meter itself, not your bill.

For a hassle free check, use the 14 digit reference number in the box at the top of this page. It opens your bill straight from the PITC portal, with no captcha and nothing extra to type.

If the customer ID is the only number you have, LESCO's own official bill page accepts it. Open LESCO's bill page, enter your 7 digit customer ID and the captcha code shown there, and your bill comes up.

If you want to find your reference number from your CNIC or customer ID, the step by step guide with pictures is in the reference number section above.

The reference number stays the same every month, so once you find it you can use it every time you check. If a website promises to show your LESCO bill from your meter number alone, be careful, because the official portal does not work that way.

Find Your LESCO Consumer ID (Customer ID)

The consumer ID, also called the customer ID, is the shorter number that names your account with LESCO. On LESCO bills it is 7 digits, and it sits on the bill near the reference number. The image shows the exact spot.

This number does not work on the PITC portal that this page uses, so for the box at the top, the 14 digit reference number is the number to enter. The customer ID has two official uses instead: it opens your bill on LESCO's own bill page, with a captcha, and it works in LESCO's CNIC Registration lookup to show your reference number. The step by step guide with pictures is in the reference number section above.

Do not mix it up with the meter number, which is printed on the meter itself. The meter number does not open bills.

LESCO Bill Check by SMS

The official way to get your LESCO bill by SMS is to register your mobile number against your reference number. You can do that at the PITC registration portal at mnr.pitc.com.pk. Enter your reference number, then your CNIC and mobile number, and confirm with the code sent to your phone. Your LESCO subdivision office can also register your number for you.

Once your number is registered, the monthly bill alert arrives on your phone by SMS, so you see each new bill without asking for it.

Check LESCO Bill Without Reference Number

If you do not have your reference number, LESCO gives you two other official ways. The first is your customer ID, the 7 digit number printed on your bill near the reference number. It does not work on the PITC portal, but it opens your bill on LESCO's own official bill page, with a captcha. The second is the CNIC Registration lookup on lesco.gov.pk, where a search by CNIC or by customer ID shows your reference number, and the step by step guide with pictures above walks through it. These are LESCO's official tools. Third party websites that promise a bill check from your CNIC or your name are a different story, and you should not trust them with your CNIC.

The reference number itself is also easy to find again. A few places to look:

  • Any older LESCO bill, on paper or as a PDF. The reference number stays the same every month, so an older bill will have the same number.
  • The CNIC Registration lookup on lesco.gov.pk. Open the Customer Services menu, click CNIC Registration, and search by CNIC or by customer ID to see the reference number on your record.
  • A bill alert SMS or email, if you signed up for one.
  • Your payment history. If you paid through a bank app or a wallet like Easypaisa or JazzCash, the saved biller or the payment receipt usually shows the reference number.
  • Your LESCO subdivision office. If you cannot find it anywhere, they can look it up for you once you prove the connection belongs to you. Take your CNIC, and the meter address if you know it.

Once you have the number, scroll back up and check your bill.

LESCO Bill by Month (January to December)

Many people search for a single month by name, like a LESCO bill for May or for June, and expect to choose the month somewhere on the page. There is no month picker, and no place to type a month. Your reference number shows the bill that is currently active on PITC, which is usually the newest bill from LESCO.

The month simply follows the calendar. If you check in June, you see the June bill, and if you check in August, you see the August bill. Once a billing month has passed, the reference number cannot show you an older bill.

If you want to keep older months, the best way is to save each bill as a PDF when you check it, so you slowly build your own record over the year. For a month you forgot to save, your LESCO subdivision office can reprint it as a duplicate bill, and any month you paid through a bank or wallet app will be in that app's history.

LESCO Duplicate Bill and Old Bills

A LESCO duplicate bill is just another copy of your bill. Many people search for it after losing the paper bill, or when they need a copy for a bank, an office, or their own record. The good news is that checking your bill here is the same as getting a duplicate, and it is free.

What a duplicate bill is

A duplicate bill is a copy of your official bill, with the same reference number, name, address, amount, and due date as the original. It is not a different or unofficial bill. A bank or an office can accept it the same way they accept the paper bill.

Get your current duplicate bill here

Enter your reference number in the box above and your official current bill opens on the PITC portal. From there you can view it on screen, print it, or save it as a PDF, so you have your own copy in seconds. You do not need to visit any office for a copy of your current bill, and there is no fee for viewing or saving it.

Your reference number stays the same

The reference number does not change from month to month, so once you find it you can use the same number every time you want a duplicate. Keep it saved somewhere, for example in a note on your phone, so you can open your bill whenever you need it.

Getting older months

This check shows the bill that is currently active on PITC, which is usually the latest month, so it does not open older months on its own. If you saved an earlier bill as a PDF, you already have it. If you paid through a bank app or a wallet like Easypaisa or JazzCash, that month may be in the app's payment history. For an older month you did not save, your LESCO subdivision office can print an official copy for you.

So for your current bill, this page is the quickest way to get a duplicate, and for past months, your saved PDFs, your payment app history, or the LESCO office are the places to look.

Understanding Your LESCO Bill

Your LESCO bill has many lines, but most of them are simple once you know what they mean. Here is what each main part is for.

Reference number

This is the long number that names your connection, usually 14 digits at the top of the bill. It stays the same every month, and it is the number you use to check or pay your bill.

Units consumed

This is the number of electricity units you used during the month, taken from your meter reading. The more units you use, the higher this part of the bill.

Cost of electricity (energy charges)

This is the main charge, the price of the units you used. Pakistan uses a slab system, so the price for each unit goes up as your monthly use crosses certain levels. NEPRA sets these rates, not LESCO.

Fixed charges and meter rent

These are small monthly charges for the connection and the meter. You pay them even in a month when you use very little electricity.

Arrears

Arrears are any amount left unpaid from earlier bills. If you see arrears on your bill, a past amount has been added to this month's total.

Payable amount and due date

The payable amount is how much you have to pay, and the due date is the last day to pay it. The bill usually shows a slightly higher amount for payment after the due date, so it is better to pay on time.

Detection bill

A detection bill is not your normal monthly reading. LESCO adds it when it finds a problem such as meter tampering or an illegal connection, and the amount is an estimate of the units it believes were not recorded. If you get a detection bill and you think it is wrong, you can file a complaint at your LESCO subdivision office and ask them to review it.

N.J. surcharge (Neelum-Jhelum)

The N.J. surcharge is the Neelum-Jhelum surcharge. It is a charge added to electricity bills across Pakistan to help fund the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project. The government and the regulator set it, not LESCO, and the exact amount for the month is shown on your bill.

Slab rates

Pakistan uses a slab system for electricity, so the price for each unit is not flat. As your total units for the month cross certain levels, a higher price per unit can apply. This is why using more units can raise both your total and the rate charged on the units themselves. NEPRA sets the slabs and the rates, and they change from time to time, so the slabs and prices that apply to you are shown on your bill and in NEPRA's notifications.

Peak and off-peak hours

Some meters, called time-of-use meters, record when you use electricity, not only how much. With these, electricity used during peak hours, which are usually the busy evening hours, is charged at a higher rate than electricity used during off-peak hours. Many home meters are not time-of-use, so they do not split the day this way. The exact peak and off-peak hours and the rates are set by NEPRA and can change with the season, so check your bill or NEPRA for the current times and rates.

The peak hours for each season are usually these evening hours:

  • December to February: 5pm to 9pm
  • March to May: 6pm to 10pm
  • June to August: 7pm to 11pm
  • September to November: 6pm to 10pm

All other hours are off-peak. NEPRA sets these timings and can revise them, so confirm the current timings on your own bill.

The taxes and the monthly adjustments are explained in the next section. For the exact figures, read your own bill, where every line is listed with its amount.

LESCO Taxes, FPA and Surcharges

After the cost of electricity, your bill adds some taxes and adjustments. These are set by the government and by NEPRA, not by LESCO, and a few of them change through the year.

FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment)

FPA covers the difference between the fuel cost assumed in your tariff and the actual fuel cost that month. It changes every month because fuel prices and the mix of power plants change from month to month. Most months it is a charge, but in some months it can be a small credit that lowers your bill. NEPRA sets the rate each month.

QTR (Quarterly Tariff Adjustment)

QTR is a similar adjustment, but it is added once every three months instead of every month. It covers changes in costs such as fuel and the exchange rate.

GST

GST is a federal sales tax added to the bill. Consumers who use very little electricity are usually in a protected category and pay no GST. Others pay GST added to their charges, and the rate and the amount are printed on the bill.

Electricity duty

Electricity duty is a smaller tax that is collected for the provincial government. The amount is shown on your bill.

N.J. surcharge (Neelum-Jhelum)

The N.J. surcharge helps fund the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project. It appears on electricity bills across Pakistan, and the government and the regulator set it, not LESCO. The exact amount is listed on your bill.

PTV fee

The PTV fee was a small fixed monthly charge collected for Pakistan Television. The government decided to remove it from electricity bills, so you may not see it on a recent bill.

Income tax (withholding tax)

Income tax, also called withholding tax, applies mainly to larger bills, and many homes with smaller bills do not pay it. If it applies to you and you file a tax return, you can adjust this amount in your return. The figure is on your bill.

Surcharges

Some bills also include a surcharge, such as a financing cost surcharge, that helps cover costs in the power sector. As with the other items here, the exact amount is listed on your bill.

Because FPA changes every month and QTR changes every three months, your total can move up or down even when your electricity use stays the same. The clearest way to see your exact charges is to open your own bill, where each tax and adjustment is listed with its amount.

How to Reduce Your LESCO Bill

You cannot change the tariff, but you can change how much electricity you use and when you use it. These habits help on any connection.

Run heavy appliances outside peak hours

Heavy appliances like the washing machine, the iron, and the water pump pull the most power. If you have a time-of-use meter, running them in the evening peak hours costs more, so run them earlier in the day instead. The peak timings are listed in the section above.

Watch your monthly units

Pakistan uses a slab system, so when your total units for the month cross into a higher slab, the rate on your units goes up too. Keeping the monthly total down saves you twice: fewer units, and a lower rate on them.

Choose efficient appliances

Appliances with good energy ratings and inverter ACs do the same work with less electricity. When an old appliance needs replacing, the efficient model costs less to run every month.

Cut standby power

A TV, a charger, or a microwave on standby keeps drawing a small amount of power all day. Switch devices off at the plug when you are not using them.

Service the AC and set it moderately

The AC is the heaviest load in most homes. A serviced AC with clean filters cools more easily, and a moderate thermostat setting uses less power than a very low one.

Use daylight and LED bulbs

LED bulbs give the same light for much less power than old bulbs. And during the day, sunlight is free.

Check for leakage

Switch everything in the house off and look at the meter. If it is still moving, power is leaking somewhere or the meter has a fault. An electrician can trace a leak, and a suspected meter fault is something to report to LESCO.

How to Pay Your LESCO Bill

This page only shows your bill, and it does not take payments. To pay, you can use any of the usual ways to pay a LESCO bill in Pakistan. You will need your reference number for almost all of them, so keep it ready.

Bank app or internet banking

Open your bank app or internet banking and look for the bill payment or utility section. Choose your electricity company, enter your reference number, and pay from your account. Most banks in Pakistan support this, including HBL, UBL, MCB, Meezan and many others.

Easypaisa and JazzCash

These mobile wallet apps have a section for electricity bills. Pick your company, enter your reference number, and the app shows the amount due so you can pay from your wallet balance. The payment is usually quick and you get a confirmation message.

NayaPay and SadaPay

These newer digital banking apps also support electricity bill payment. The steps are the same, you go to the bill or utility section, enter your reference number, and pay from your balance.

ATM

Many bank ATMs have a bill payment menu. Insert your card, choose bill payment, then electricity, and enter your reference number to pay. This works through the 1LINK network that connects most banks in Pakistan.

Over the counter at a bank or agent

You can also pay in person at a bank branch, an authorized payment agent, or a post office that collects utility bills. Take a printed copy of your bill or your reference number with you.

After you pay, it can take some time for the payment to show in the system. If you check your bill again later, it will show that it is paid.

How to check LESCO bill with meter number?
You cannot check your LESCO bill with the meter number, because the meter number identifies the meter itself, not your bill.

To find your reference number itself, see the step by step guide with pictures in the reference number section above.
Where is the consumer ID on a LESCO bill?
The consumer ID is printed near the reference number, and the image in the consumer ID section above shows the exact spot. On LESCO bills it is 7 digits. It works on LESCO's own official bill page, and in the CNIC Registration lookup on lesco.gov.pk that shows your reference number. For the box at the top of this page, use the 14 digit reference number.
How to check LESCO bill by SMS?
Register your mobile number against your reference number, either at the PITC portal at mnr.pitc.com.pk or at your LESCO subdivision office. Registration takes your reference number, your CNIC, and your mobile number, with a confirmation code sent to your phone. After that, the monthly bill alert comes to your phone by SMS.
How can I check if my LESCO bill is paid or not?
Open your bill on the PITC portal using your reference number. A paid bill shows that the payment has been received, while an unpaid bill still shows the amount due and the due date. After you pay, the status can take a day or two to update, so check again later if it still shows as due.
What is the consumer number on a LESCO bill?
The consumer number, also called the consumer ID or customer ID, is the number that names your account with LESCO. On LESCO bills it is 7 digits, printed near the long reference number. It works on LESCO's own official bill page and in the CNIC Registration lookup on lesco.gov.pk. The reference number, the long number at the top, is the one that opens your bill right here.
How do I get an old or duplicate LESCO bill?
The check on this page gives you a LESCO duplicate bill, which is a copy of your current bill, and you can save or print it. It shows the current bill only, not older months. To keep past bills, save each one as a PDF when you check it, and for an older month you did not save, your LESCO subdivision office can print it for you.
What is FPA in my LESCO bill?
FPA stands for Fuel Price Adjustment. It covers the difference between the fuel cost assumed in your tariff and the actual fuel cost for that month, and NEPRA sets it every month. This is why your bill can change a little even when your usage stays the same.
What is N.J. surcharge in LESCO bill?
N.J. surcharge stands for the Neelum-Jhelum surcharge. It is a charge added to electricity bills across Pakistan to help fund the Neelum-Jhelum Hydropower Project. It is set by the government and the regulator, not by LESCO, and the exact amount is shown on your bill. To see what you were charged, check the surcharge line on your own bill.
What are slab rates in LESCO bill?
Slab rates mean the price for each unit is not flat. Pakistan uses a slab system, so as your total units for the month cross certain levels, a higher price per unit can apply. This is why using more units can raise both your total and the rate charged on the units themselves. NEPRA sets the slabs and the rates, and they change from time to time, so the slabs and prices that apply to you are shown on your bill.
What are peak and off-peak hours in LESCO bill?
Peak and off-peak hours apply if you have a time-of-use meter, which records when you use electricity, not only how much. Electricity used during peak hours, usually the busy evening hours, is charged at a higher rate than electricity used during off-peak hours. Many home meters are not time-of-use, so they do not split the day this way. NEPRA sets the exact hours and rates, and they can change with the season, so check your bill or NEPRA for the current times.
How do I pay my LESCO bill?
You can pay a LESCO bill through a bank app or internet banking, a mobile wallet such as Easypaisa or JazzCash, an ATM, or in person at a bank or an authorized agent. You will need your reference number for almost all of these. This page does not take payments, it only opens your bill so you can see the amount and the due date.
Are these LESCO bills official and original?
Yes. Your bill opens directly on the official PITC portal, which is the same system LESCO uses, so it is the real bill. We do not change or create bills, we only open the official one for you. You can save it as a PDF or print it, and it is valid wherever the original bill is accepted.
Does this site store my LESCO bill data?
No. We do not store your bill or your reference number on our servers. Your reference number is saved only in your own browser, so you do not have to type it again next time, and you can clear it by clearing your browser data. The bill itself always opens on the PITC portal, not on this site.
Why is my LESCO bill so high this month?
A higher bill usually means you used more units, which is common in summer when fans and air conditioners run more. Crossing into a higher slab also raises the price of every unit, and monthly changes in FPA and taxes can add to the total. Check the units consumed on your bill first, because that is the main reason most bills go up.
How do I complain about LESCO billing or an outage?
The official channels are the complaint portal at ccms.pitc.com.pk/complaint, calling 118, or sending an SMS to 8118. Your local LESCO subdivision office also takes complaints in person, and its details are printed on your bill. For a billing problem such as a wrong detection bill, the subdivision office can review your case and correct it if needed.
What is a detection bill in LESCO?
A detection bill is an extra bill for units LESCO believes were used but never recorded, for example after meter tampering or a meter fault is found. Under NEPRA's consumer service rules there are limits: for homes and shops a detection bill normally covers up to three billing cycles, and it cannot go back more than six months for a registered consumer. You can contest it, and you have the right to a personal hearing before LESCO's review committee. Your subdivision office is the place to start.
Can my electricity be disconnected for one unpaid bill?
No. Under NEPRA's consumer service rules, LESCO cannot disconnect your supply for a single month's unpaid bill. A notice giving you seven days comes with the second month's bill, and only if that passes unpaid can the supply be cut, with equipment removal only after the third bill. Paying what is due, or agreeing on installments with LESCO, keeps your connection safe.
Can I pay my LESCO bill in installments?
Yes, LESCO can allow installments on a current bill. Under NEPRA's consumer service rules there is no extra charge if you pay the first installment by the due date, and a markup applies on the later ones. For old unpaid amounts, called arrears, the limits depend on the amount and the approving officer and differ between companies, so ask at your LESCO subdivision office.
