- Charges breakdown (tariff, fuel price adjustment, taxes)
- Amount payable
- Due date and surcharge date
- Reference number and consumer ID

Can You Pay Using a Duplicate Bill?
Yes, absolutely. A LESCO duplicate bill is fully valid for payment. You can use it at:
- LESCO payment centers and subdivision offices
- Bank branches (HBL, MCB, UBL, etc.) â show the duplicate bill at the counter
- Franchise collection points â any authorized LESCO payment franchise
- ATMs (1Link network) â you only need the reference number, not the physical bill
- JazzCash and Easypaisa â enter your reference number directly in the app
In practice, most digital payment methods (JazzCash, Easypaisa, internet banking) only require your reference number â they do not ask you to present any bill at all. The duplicate bill is most useful when paying at a bank counter or LESCO office in person.

FAQ
Is a LESCO duplicate bill the same as the original?
Yes. A duplicate bill contains the same information as the original bill issued by LESCO. The word "duplicate" only means it is a reprinted or re-generated copy â it is not a new bill or a second charge. You pay the same amount as shown, only once.
How many times can I download a LESCO duplicate bill?
You can download your LESCO duplicate bill as many times as you need. There is no limit. The bill data remains accessible online throughout the billing cycle, and typically for some time after the due date as well.
What if my LESCO duplicate bill shows a different amount than expected?
If the amount on your duplicate bill seems too high or unusually different from previous months, check whether the bill is based on an actual meter reading or an estimated one. Estimated bills are marked on the bill itself. If you believe the reading is incorrect, visit your nearest LESCO subdivision office with your duplicate bill and request a meter recheck. You can also call LESCO at 111-000-118.
Can I use a duplicate bill for a bank loan or government document verification?
A duplicate bill can serve as proof of address for many purposes. However, for formal government or financial documentation, some institutions may require an original bill with LESCO's official stamp. Check with the institution asking for it â in most practical cases, a printed duplicate bill is accepted.
