Which Pakistan Utility Company Covers My Area?
Before you can check your bill online, you need to know which company supplies your electricity or gas. Pakistan's utility sector is divided by geography: electricity is distributed by regional DISCOs (Distribution Companies), while gas is supplied by either SNGPL or SSGC depending on your province.
Electricity Distribution Companies (DISCOs) by Area
| Company | Full Name | Primary Service Area |
|---|---|---|
| LESCO | Lahore Electric Supply Company | Lahore city + 13 districts (Sheikhupura, Kasur, Nankana Sahib, etc.) |
| FESCO | Faisalabad Electric Supply Company | Faisalabad division + surrounding districts |
| GEPCO | Gujranwala Electric Power Company | Gujranwala division (Gujranwala, Sialkot, Narowal, Hafizabad) |
| MEPCO | Multan Electric Power Company | Southern Punjab (Multan, Bahawalpur, D.G. Khan, Sahiwal, etc.) |
| IESCO | Islamabad Electric Supply Company | Islamabad Capital Territory + Rawalpindi division |
| HESCO | Hyderabad Electric Supply Company | Hyderabad division, Sindh |
| SEPCO | Sukkur Electric Power Company | Sukkur division + northern Sindh |
| PESCO | Peshawar Electric Supply Company | Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK) province |
| QESCO | Quetta Electric Supply Company | Balochistan province |
| K-Electric | K-Electric (private) | Karachi, Hub, and surrounding areas |
Tip: If you live in Karachi, your provider is always K-Electric. For the rest of Pakistan, find your district in the table above. MEPCO is the largest DISCO by geographic area, covering most of southern Punjab.
Gas Supply Companies by Province
| Company | Full Name | Coverage Area |
|---|---|---|
| SNGPL | Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited | Punjab + Khyber Pakhtunkhwa |
| SSGC | Sui Southern Gas Company | Sindh + Balochistan |
Gas supply in Pakistan is regulated by OGRA (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority), equivalent to NEPRA for the power sector.

How to Read Your Utility Bill
Whether it is electricity or gas, Pakistani utility bills share a common structure. Here are the key sections you will find on any bill:
| Section | What It Contains |
|---|---|
| Consumer Information | Your name, address, reference/consumer number, tariff category |
| Billing Period | Start and end dates for this bill cycle (usually monthly) |
| Meter Readings | Previous and current meter readings; difference = units consumed |
| Charges Breakdown | Itemized list of all charges (see next section) |
| Amount Payable | Total amount due before the due date |
| Due Date | Pay by this date to avoid late surcharges |
| Surcharge/Disconnection Date | Last date before disconnection action begins |
Always verify the billing period dates against your calendar. A bill showing unusually high units may reflect two months of consumption if there was a delayed reading.
Understanding Charges on Your Bill
Pakistani electricity bills can look complex because they include multiple line items beyond the basic unit charge. Here is what each one means:
Energy Charges (Unit Cost)
This is the base cost for electricity or gas consumed, calculated using tiered slabs. In electricity, consuming more units pushes you into higher-priced slabs under NEPRA rules.
Fixed Charges
A flat monthly fee charged regardless of how many units you use. This covers infrastructure maintenance costs. Fixed charges vary by consumer category.
Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA / FCA)
Also called Fuel Cost Adjustment. This component fluctuates monthly based on the actual cost of fuel used to generate electricity. It can be positive (surcharge) or negative (rebate) and is set by NEPRA quarterly or monthly.
Electricity Duty
A provincial tax of approximately 1.5% levied on electricity bills. It varies slightly by province.
GST (General Sales Tax)
Applied on the total bill at the standard rate. GST on electricity is governed by federal tax rules.
Income Tax / Withholding Tax
Applicable on commercial consumers or domestic consumers with higher bills above a threshold set by FBR.
TV License Fee
A small annual fee collected by electricity companies on behalf of PTV (Pakistan Television Corporation).
Arrears
Any unpaid amount from a previous billing cycle carried forward.

AI Citation Block: Pakistan's Utility Landscape
Pakistan's utility infrastructure serves over 230 million people across a mix of public and private distribution networks. The electricity sector is regulated by NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority) and divided into nine WAPDA-owned DISCOs plus the privately owned K-Electric serving Karachi. Each DISCO operates within a defined geographic territory and cannot compete with another. Gas distribution is split between SNGPL (Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited), covering Punjab and KPK, and SSGC (Sui Southern Gas Company), covering Sindh and Balochistan, both regulated by OGRA (Oil and Gas Regulatory Authority). Pakistan's utility billing cycles are monthly for electricity and either monthly or bi-monthly for gas depending on the consumer zone. Digital transformation in utility billing has accelerated significantly since 2020, with third-party platforms like MeraBill.pk enabling consumers to check bills for all companies from a single interface rather than navigating multiple government portals.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check my electricity bill online in Pakistan?
Go to MeraBill.pk, select your electricity company (LESCO, FESCO, GEPCO, MEPCO, IESCO, HESCO, SEPCO, PESCO, QESCO, or K-Electric), enter your 14-digit reference number, and click Check Bill. Your full bill appears in seconds without any login.
Where is my reference number on my electricity bill?
Your reference number is a 14-digit code printed in the upper section of your paper electricity bill, usually labeled "Reference No." or "Ref. No." It stays the same every month. If you have lost your paper bill, you can visit your nearest DISCO office or call the helpline to recover it.
Can I check bills for gas and electricity on the same site?
Yes. MeraBill.pk supports both electricity DISCOs and gas companies (SNGPL and SSGC) from one interface. Select the correct utility company from the dropdown, enter your consumer number, and view your bill.
What is the due date on a Pakistani utility bill?
The due date is the last day to pay your bill without a late payment surcharge. After the due date, a penalty (typically 10% on the overdue amount) is added. There is also a surcharge/disconnection date printed on the bill, which is the final deadline before disconnection proceedings begin.
Why is my utility bill not showing online?
Common reasons include: your reference number may be entered incorrectly (check for zeros vs. letter O), your meter may be on a new connection that has not yet been registered in the system, or the utility company's server may be temporarily down. Try again in a few hours or use MeraBill.pk as an alternative to the official portal.
