Where Exactly Is the Reference Number on a MEPCO Bill?
Many consumers ask about the exact location of the reference number on their paper bill. Here is a precise description:
- The reference number is found in the top-right section of the bill, typically within the first few lines of printed information in the header block.
- It is labeled clearly as "Reference No.", "Ref No.", or similar.
- It sits above your consumer name in most MEPCO bill formats.
- It is a sequence of 14 consecutive digits โ for example:
12345678901234.
If you see a shorter number nearby (8โ10 digits), that is the consumer number or meter number โ different identifiers used for internal MEPCO records. The reference number for online bill checks is specifically the 14-digit code.
Can I Check MEPCO Bill by CNIC Number?
Currently, MEPCO's online platforms (including mepco.com.pk and MeraBill.pk) require the 14-digit reference number for bill lookup. Direct lookup by CNIC is not supported in the consumer-facing online portal.
However, your CNIC is used as a secondary verification tool:
- When calling MEPCO's helpline (061-111-000-786), the agent will ask for your CNIC to verify identity before sharing your reference number.
- When visiting a MEPCO sub-division office, your CNIC is the primary document needed to retrieve account details.
Once you have your reference number (retrieved using your CNIC via the helpline), you can use MeraBill.pk for all future checks instantly.
How to Check MEPCO Bill Without Reference Number
If you do not have your reference number at hand, there are several ways to retrieve it:
Option 1: Call MEPCO Helpline
Dial 061-111-000-786. Have your CNIC and property address ready. The MEPCO representative will look up your account and provide your reference number.
Option 2: Visit MEPCO Sub-Division Office
Take your original CNIC to your nearest MEPCO sub-division office. Staff can retrieve your reference number from their system immediately.
Option 3: Check an Old Paper Bill
If you have received any MEPCO bill in the past, the same reference number is printed on every single one. Check old bills, any receipts you may have from past payments, or ask your landlord if you are a tenant.
Option 4: Check JazzCash or Easypaisa Transaction History
If you have previously paid your MEPCO bill via JazzCash or Easypaisa, the reference number used in that transaction is stored in your payment history. Open the app and review past utility payment transactions.
