What Is GEPCO?
GEPCO (Gujranwala Electric Power Company) is a public electricity distribution company serving the Gujranwala division and eight surrounding districts in Punjab, Pakistan. The districts under GEPCO's coverage include Gujranwala, Sialkot, Gujrat, Hafizabad, Narowal, Mandi Bahauddin, and adjacent areas. GEPCO distributes electricity generated through the national grid and supplied by NTDC (National Transmission and Despatch Company). The company operates under the regulatory framework of NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority), which approves all tariff structures, consumer protection rules, and service standards applicable to GEPCO and all other DISCOs (Distribution Companies) across Pakistan. GEPCO serves millions of domestic, commercial, agricultural, and industrial consumers. Like other DISCOs inherited from the former WAPDA (Water and Power Development Authority) structure, GEPCO issues monthly electricity bills based on meter readings taken by its field staff. Consumers can check, download, and pay these bills through multiple digital channels.
How to Check Your GEPCO Bill Online
There are three main methods to check your GEPCO bill online. Method 1 is the fastest.
Method 1: Check GEPCO Bill on MeraBill.pk (Recommended)
MeraBill.pk retrieves your GEPCO bill data directly and displays it in a clean, mobile-friendly format. Here is the exact process:
- Open MeraBill.pk in any browser — Chrome, Safari, or the default browser on your phone.
- Select GEPCO from the electricity provider list on the homepage.
- Type your 14-digit GEPCO reference number into the search box. The reference number is printed at the top-right area of your paper bill.
- Tap or click Check Bill.
- Your complete bill summary loads in seconds — current amount, previous arrears, due date, surcharge date, units consumed, and billing period.
You can also tap Download PDF to save the bill on your phone or computer. No registration is required.
Method 2: Check GEPCO Bill via Official Website
GEPCO maintains a consumer portal at gepco.com.pk. Follow these steps:
- Navigate to gepco.com.pk in your browser.
- Find the Online Bill or Consumer Services section in the main menu.
- Enter your 14-digit reference number and submit.
- Your current bill details will display on screen.
The official GEPCO portal is accurate but can be slow during peak billing periods (usually the first two weeks of each month when bills roll out). MeraBill.pk is often faster and more mobile-friendly for daily use.
Method 3: Check GEPCO Bill via SMS
GEPCO offers a basic SMS inquiry service:
- Send your 14-digit reference number to 8009.
- You will receive an SMS reply with your bill amount and due date.
This method is useful when you have limited internet access. Standard SMS charges apply based on your mobile network (Jazz, Telenor, Ufone, Zong).
Where Is the GEPCO Reference Number?
Finding your reference number is the most common question among new consumers. Here is where to look:
- On your paper bill: Look at the top-right section of the printed bill. The reference number is a 14-digit numeric code displayed prominently above your consumer name and address.
- On your meter connection card: The connection registration card issued when electricity was first installed also carries your reference number.
- Via GEPCO helpline: Call GEPCO's UAN at 041-111-000-786 and provide your name and address. A customer service agent can confirm your reference number.
- At your local GEPCO sub-division office: Bring a copy of your CNIC and the address of the property to get your reference number retrieved.
Important: Do not confuse the reference number with the consumer number or meter number. The reference number is the 14-digit code used for all online bill inquiries. The consumer number is a shorter account identifier used internally.
Understanding Your GEPCO Bill Summary
When you check your GEPCO bill online, you will see several line items. Here is what each one means:
- Current Charges: The cost of electricity consumed during the current billing month, calculated according to NEPRA-approved domestic or commercial tariff slabs.
- Previous Arrears: Any unpaid balance from earlier months.
- Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA): A monthly surcharge or rebate reflecting changes in fuel costs used for power generation. This amount fluctuates each month and is approved by NEPRA.
- GST (General Sales Tax): Currently levied at 17% on electricity consumption above the lifeline threshold.
- Electricity Duty: A provincial levy of approximately 1.5%.
- TV License Fee: A fixed charge of PKR 35 per month added to all domestic bills by the government.
- Total Payable: The sum of all the above, which you must pay by the due date to avoid a late payment surcharge.
See our GEPCO Bill Calculation guide for a detailed breakdown of how tariff slabs work.
What Is the GEPCO Due Date?
GEPCO bills typically carry a due date around the 20th of the billing month. After the due date, a surcharge window of approximately 10 additional days is allowed before the surcharge is formally applied. After that grace window, a late payment surcharge of 1.5% per month is added to your outstanding balance.
If payment is delayed significantly, GEPCO issues a disconnection notice. Reconnection after disconnection requires paying all outstanding dues plus a reconnection fee at the GEPCO sub-division office.
See our GEPCO Bill Payment guide for all available payment methods including JazzCash, Easypaisa, and ATM.
Can I Check My GEPCO Bill Without the Reference Number?
Yes, but it requires one extra step. Without the reference number, you need to retrieve it first:
- Call GEPCO: Dial 041-111-000-786 (GEPCO UAN), provide your address and CNIC, and they will give you your reference number over the phone.
- Visit Sub-Division Office: Bring your CNIC and property address to your nearest GEPCO sub-division office.
- Check Old Bills: If you have any previous paper bills, the reference number is the same 14-digit code on all of them.
Once you have the reference number, you can use MeraBill.pk or any method above to check future bills instantly.
FAQ: What Is a GEPCO Reference Number?
A GEPCO reference number is a unique 14-digit numeric code assigned to each electricity connection. It is printed at the top-right of every GEPCO paper bill. You need this number to check your bill online, pay via JazzCash or Easypaisa, or contact GEPCO customer service about your account.
FAQ: How Do I Check My GEPCO Bill Without a Reference Number?
Without a reference number, call GEPCO's UAN 041-111-000-786 with your CNIC and address ready. They will retrieve your reference number. Alternatively, visit your local GEPCO sub-division office in person. Once retrieved, the number stays the same for the lifetime of your connection.
FAQ: Why Is My GEPCO Bill So High This Month?
High GEPCO bills are usually caused by one or more of these factors: increased electricity consumption (especially in summer due to air conditioners), a higher tariff slab triggered by crossing a unit threshold, accumulated arrears from previous months, a high Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA) charge, or an incorrect meter reading. See our GEPCO Duplicate Bill guide to download your bill and review each charge line by line.

Yes. MeraBill.pk only requires your 14-digit reference number, which is printed on your public-facing bill. No personal identification, bank details, or login credentials are required. The service simply retrieves publicly available bill data from GEPCO's systems.
