Payment Deadlines: What You Must Know
Your FESCO bill has two critical payment dates:
| Date Type | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Due Date | Pay by this date to avoid any surcharge. Typically 14โ15 days after the bill is issued. |
| Surcharge Date | Final date before surcharge and disconnection action. |
What happens if you miss the due date?
- A late payment surcharge (a percentage determined by NEPRA) is added to your next bill automatically.
- This surcharge accrues on the outstanding amount.
What happens after the surcharge date?
- FESCO can initiate disconnection proceedings.
- To get reconnected after disconnection, you must pay all outstanding dues plus a reconnection fee.
- Extended non-payment can result in FESCO pursuing recovery through legal or enforcement channels under NEPRA regulations.
Always pay by the Due Date โ not the Surcharge Date โ to avoid extra charges.
FAQ
Can I pay my FESCO bill in advance?
Yes, you can pay your FESCO bill before it is due and even before the current bill is generated. If you overpay, the excess amount is typically credited to your next bill automatically. However, for advance payments, it is best to use the internet banking or visit a FESCO office directly to ensure the credit is properly recorded against your account.
My FESCO payment is not reflecting on the bill after 2 days โ what should I do?
Online payments (JazzCash, Easypaisa, internet banking) normally reflect within 24โ48 hours. If your payment is still not showing after 48 hours, collect your payment proof (SMS receipt, ATM slip, or bank transaction record) and:
- Visit the nearest FESCO subdivision office with your proof.
- Or call FESCO helpline: 041-9220070 and report the transaction details.
Do not make a second payment until you have confirmed the original was not processed.
Is there a service charge for paying FESCO bill through JazzCash or Easypaisa?
Mobile wallets in Pakistan generally do not charge extra fees for utility bill payments, but policies can change. Always check the final confirmation screen before approving the payment โ it shows the total amount being deducted. If the amount exactly matches your bill, there is no additional service charge.
Can FESCO disconnect electricity without notice?
Under NEPRA's consumer protection regulations, FESCO is required to follow proper notice procedures before disconnecting a connection for non-payment. Typically, a disconnection notice is issued and you are given time to pay. However, once the surcharge date passes and formal non-payment is confirmed, disconnection can proceed. If you receive a disconnection notice, pay immediately or contact FESCO at 041-9220070 to arrange a payment plan.
