What Is MEPCO?
MEPCO (Multan Electric Power Company) is Pakistan's largest electricity distribution company by geographic coverage. It serves southern Punjab across Multan, Bahawalpur, DG Khan, Rahim Yar Khan, and Sahiwal divisions, covering 13 districts and a vast rural and agricultural landscape. As the DISCO (Distribution Company) with the largest service area in Pakistan, MEPCO supplies electricity to millions of domestic, commercial, industrial, and agricultural tube-well consumers. The company distributes power received from NTDC (National Transmission and Despatch Company) and operates under the regulation of NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority), which sets tariff structures and consumer rights standards. MEPCO was separated from the legacy WAPDA (Water and Power Development Authority) structure as part of Pakistan's power sector unbundling. Its official consumer portal is at mepco.com.pk and its customer helpline can be reached at 061-111-000-786. MEPCO issues monthly bills based on bimonthly or monthly meter readings depending on the consumer category and location.

Method 2: Check MEPCO Bill on Official Website (mepco.com.pk)
MEPCO operates a consumer self-service portal at mepco.com.pk:
- Go to mepco.com.pk in your browser.
- Click on Online Bill or Consumer Portal in the navigation.
- Enter your 14-digit reference number.
- Click Submit to view your bill.
The official site provides the same data and is a reliable backup. It can be slower during peak billing periods when millions of consumers across 13 districts are accessing the portal simultaneously.
Method 3: Check MEPCO Bill via SMS
MEPCO consumers can use an SMS-based bill inquiry:
- Send your 14-digit reference number as a text message to 8009.
- You will receive a reply SMS with your bill amount and due date.
This is useful in areas with limited internet connectivity — common in some rural parts of DG Khan, Rahim Yar Khan, and Sahiwal divisions where mobile data can be unreliable.
Where Is the MEPCO Reference Number?
The MEPCO reference number is a 14-digit numeric code that uniquely identifies your electricity connection. Here is exactly where to find it:
- On your paper bill: Look at the top-right corner of the printed MEPCO bill. The reference number is printed clearly, typically labeled "Reference No." or "Ref #", positioned above your consumer name and connection address.
- On your meter connection registration card: The original card issued when the connection was installed shows the reference number.
- Via MEPCO helpline: Call 061-111-000-786, provide your CNIC and property address, and a MEPCO representative will confirm your number.
- At a MEPCO sub-division office: Bring your CNIC and address details for same-day retrieval.
The reference number is the same every month. It does not change with each new bill. Once you know your reference number, save it on your phone for instant access every billing cycle.
Understanding Your MEPCO Bill
When you check your MEPCO bill on MeraBill.pk, you will see these key fields:
Billing Period and Reading Dates
- Reading Date: The date MEPCO's meter reader visited your property.
- Billing Period: The number of days covered by this bill (usually 30 days for monthly consumers).
Current Charges
The main electricity charge, calculated based on your units consumed and the applicable NEPRA tariff slab for your consumer category. Domestic consumers have protected lower slabs for moderate usage.
Arrears
Any balance unpaid from previous billing cycles is added to the current bill as arrears. Persistent arrears can lead to disconnection.
Due Date and Surcharge Date
- Due Date: The deadline for payment without any surcharge, usually around the 20th of the billing month.
- Surcharge Date: A few days after the due date (sometimes 10 days). After this date, a 1.5% per month late payment surcharge is applied.
Other Charges
- Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA): Monthly variable charge approved by NEPRA reflecting fuel cost changes.
- GST: 17% General Sales Tax on applicable consumption.
- Electricity Duty, TV License Fee, Meter Rent.
See our MEPCO Bill Calculation guide for a full breakdown of how tariff slabs are applied to calculate your final bill amount.
Can I Check MEPCO Bill by CNIC?
MEPCO's online systems (mepco.com.pk and MeraBill.pk) currently require the 14-digit reference number for bill lookup — not a CNIC directly. However, your CNIC is used as identity verification when calling MEPCO's helpline to retrieve your reference number. Once you have the reference number, all future checks are instant.
Is There a MEPCO Bill Check App?
MEPCO does not have a standalone official mobile app with full functionality as of 2026. The best mobile experience is through:
- MeraBill.pk — works in any mobile browser without download
- JazzCash app — shows bill before you pay
- Easypaisa app — shows bill amount when you enter reference number
For a dedicated app-like experience on Android, you can add MeraBill.pk to your home screen as a Progressive Web App (PWA) using your browser's "Add to Home Screen" option.
