What Is the FESCO Reference Number?
The FESCO reference number is a unique 14-digit identifier assigned to every electricity connection in FESCO's service area. It is your account's permanent code โ it does not change from month to month or when a new bill is issued.
This number is how FESCO's system identifies your specific connection (meter, address, and consumer name) among millions of accounts. Whenever you check a bill online, make a payment, or contact customer support, the reference number is the primary piece of information you need.
Is the Reference Number the Same as the Consumer Number?
These two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but they can refer to slightly different things depending on context:
- Reference Number โ the 14-digit number used for online bill inquiry and payment systems. This is what MeraBill.pk, JazzCash, Easypaisa, and the FESCO website use.
- Consumer Number (or Account Number) โ sometimes a shorter code used in internal FESCO records.
For all practical purposes โ checking bills, paying online, contacting support โ use the 14-digit reference number printed on your bill. If you are ever asked for a "consumer number" in a payment app and are unsure, enter the same reference number.
Where to Find Your FESCO Reference Number
On Your Paper Bill
Your paper FESCO electricity bill has the reference number printed in a clearly labeled box near the top of the bill, usually on the right side. Look for the label:
- "Reference No."
- "Ref. No."
- "Reference Number"
The number itself is 14 digits with no spaces or dashes โ for example: 12345678901234.
Reading your paper bill โ key area descriptions:
- Top section: Consumer name, address, reference number, tariff category
- Middle section: Meter readings (previous and current), units consumed, billing period
- Lower section: Charges breakdown โ tariff, FPA, fixed charges, taxes
- Bottom section: Amount payable, due date, surcharge date, payment barcode
On Your Meter Reading Card
When a FESCO meter reader visits your property, they leave behind a small meter reading card (sometimes called a reading slip). This card also carries your reference number, current meter reading, and bill amount. If you still have last month's card, the reference number is on it.
On the Meter Itself
Some FESCO meters have a sticker or label affixed by FESCO that includes the account reference number. Check the front or side of your meter box.

FAQ
Is the FESCO reference number the same as the consumer number?
They often refer to the same thing, but the 14-digit reference number is the standard format used across all digital channels โ MeraBill.pk, JazzCash, Easypaisa, and the FESCO website. If an app asks for a "consumer number" and you are unsure, enter your 14-digit reference number. In most cases it will match.
Can I check my FESCO bill by address?
FESCO's online systems are primarily reference-number based, not address based. There is no public-facing portal that lets you search by street address. However, if you contact FESCO directly at 041-9220070 and provide a verified address, they can locate the associated reference number for you.
My FESCO reference number is not working โ what could be wrong?
Common reasons a reference number lookup fails:
- Incorrect number entered โ double check all 14 digits
- Billing cycle not yet updated โ new bills may take a day or two to appear in online systems after the meter reading cycle
- System outage โ try again after a few hours or use MeraBill.pk as an alternative
If none of these apply, contact FESCO at 041-9220070 for account verification.
Can I use the same reference number to pay FESCO bill at any bank?
Yes. Your FESCO reference number is universal across all payment channels โ any bank, any ATM, any mobile wallet. The reference number uniquely identifies your FESCO account in the national 1Link payment infrastructure, so payments made through any channel are linked to your account automatically.
