Dig up any old bill
You only need one previous MEPCO bill — paper or a saved photo. The 'Reference No' box sits in the top-left, just above your name and billing address.
Reference-Number Lookup
Check Your MEPCO Electricity Bill Online
Your reference number pulls the same billing data MEPCO's own system holds. Enter it below to see this cycle's units consumed, the FPA line, and your exact due date before you pay anything.

Quick Guide
How to Retrieve Your Duplicate Bill
Lost your paper bill, or it just hasn't arrived yet? This is the whole process, start to finish.
Enter the 14 digits
Type the reference number exactly as printed, with no spaces or dashes. A single wrong digit pulls up someone else's connection, so read it back once before submitting.
Read the breakdown, not just the total
Once it loads, check units consumed, the FPA line, and the due date separately — the total alone won't tell you whether this month's jump came from usage or from an adjustment.
Finding Your Details
Where is the 14-Digit Reference Number?
Every MEPCO connection gets one fixed 14-digit reference number, printed in the top-left block of every bill you've ever received — it doesn't change month to month, so any old copy works.
The lookup only accepts the reference number or the 10-digit Consumer ID printed just above it. There's no CNIC or phone-number search — that's a deliberate design choice by PITC, not a limitation of this site.
Read Your Bill Like a Pro
What to Check Before You Pay
The total payable figure hides a lot. These four checks take under a minute and catch most billing surprises.
Match the name on the bill
Before paying anything, confirm the consumer name and address on screen actually match your connection — not just a similar-looking one nearby.
Watch the 200-unit line
Crossing 200 units in one month reclassifies your entire bill at non-protected rates, not just the units past 200 — and an AC registered on the meter removes protected pricing regardless of usage.
Read the FPA and arrears separately
The total payable figure blends several line items together. Pull apart taxes, FPA, and any carried-over arrears so you know which part actually changed from last month.
Note the due date, not the issue date
The bill issue date and the payment due date are different fields. Paying based on the wrong one is the single most common way people trigger a Late Payment Surcharge.
Payment Options
How to Pay Your MEPCO Bill Easily
Whatever's already on your phone is usually the fastest option — here's what each one actually involves.
Easypaisa & JazzCash
In-app: Bill Payment → Electricity → MEPCO. Enter your 14-digit reference number and the app pulls the live payable amount before you confirm.
Bank Apps (HBL, Meezan, Alfalah)
Add MEPCO as a payee under utility bills in your banking app, enter the reference number once, and future months are just a repeat payment.
e-Sahulat, Omni Agents & ATMs
For cash payments, any NADRA e-Sahulat franchise or 1Link ATM near you will accept either the physical bill or just the reference number written down.

Tips to Lower Your Monthly Charges
Tariffs are set by NEPRA, not by MEPCO — the one thing actually within your control is which side of the 200-unit line you land on each month.
- Treat 200 units as a hard ceiling, not a target — crossing it even once for a single month can push your whole bill onto non-protected rates for the next six.
- If you're on a three-phase TOU meter, shift ACs, water pumps, and irons outside the evening peak window rather than cutting total usage.
- The FPA line reflects fuel costs from roughly a month ago — don't assume a spike means you used more electricity this cycle.
- Inverter ACs and LED fixtures cut consumption enough, in most households, to matter for staying under the 200-unit line near month-end.
Answers to Your Concerns
Frequently Asked Questions
Last reviewed September 2026, cross-checked against NEPRA's published tariff notification.
What does FPA mean on my MEPCO bill?
FPA is the Fuel Price Adjustment — a separate line NEPRA notifies roughly a month in arrears, based on what fuel (furnace oil, gas, coal, LNG) actually cost the power plants that generated your electricity two billing cycles ago. It can add to your bill or, occasionally, subtract from it. Because it's retroactive, your FPA charge often doesn't match how much electricity you're using right now — it's settling last month's fuel bill, not this month's.
What are MEPCO's peak billing hours?
Peak-hour pricing only applies if you're on a Time-of-Use (TOU) tariff, which generally means a three-phase connection with a sanctioned load above 5kW. For those meters, summer peak hours (April–October) typically run 6:30 PM–10:30 PM, shifting to 6:00 PM–10:00 PM in winter (November–March). Standard single-phase household meters are billed at flat slab rates and aren't affected by this window at all.
Why did my electricity bill suddenly double this month?
Almost always it's the 200-unit threshold. Cross 200 units in a single billing month and NEPRA reclassifies the entire bill — not just the units above 200 — at non-protected slab rates, and that status typically carries forward for six months even if usage drops back down. Separately, if an air conditioner is registered on your connection, you're billed as non-protected regardless of how few units you actually used that month.
Can I check my bill using my CNIC or name?
No. The PITC billing system that MEPCO and every other DISCO run on only accepts a 14-digit reference number or a 10-digit Consumer ID — it has no CNIC or name-based lookup at all. Treat any site or app that asks for your CNIC, OTP, or banking password to 'check a bill' as suspicious; a legitimate lookup never needs them.
What happens if I pay my MEPCO bill after the due date?
A Late Payment Surcharge (LPS) gets added automatically to your next bill — it's calculated as a percentage of the amount you owed, so the exact rupee figure depends on your unpaid balance. Beyond the surcharge, bills left unpaid past a second notice can lead to disconnection, so it's worth paying even a partial amount before the due date if you're short on funds, rather than letting it lapse entirely.
Can I check my MEPCO bill without internet access?
Yes — PITC runs an SMS lookup that works on any basic phone. Type PITC, a space, then your 14-digit reference number, and text it to 8334. You'll get your current bill amount and due date back by SMS within a few minutes, no app or browser needed.
How do I check my MEPCO bill online?
Take an old physical bill and find the 14-digit box labelled 'Reference No,' usually printed above your name and address. Enter those digits into the checker above with no spaces or dashes, then submit. If you'd rather use your Consumer ID instead, that's the shorter 10-digit number printed just above the reference number on the same bill.
