Easy Steps to Check Your MEPCO Online Bill

You can check your MEPCO bill using your 14-digit reference number, your customer ID, or via SMS. Here’s how each method works.

Where to Find Your Reference Number

Your reference number is a 14-digit code printed near the top of your MEPCO bill (see the highlighted section in the image below). It’s the fastest way to pull up your bill since it’s unique to that specific billing month.

Check Your mepco Bill Using Customer ID

Enter your 10-digit customer ID in the box above and click “View Full Bill” to instantly see your latest bill, which you can then download or print.

Reference Number vs Customer ID: What's the Difference?

A lot of people get confused between these two, so here’s the simple difference: your customer ID (10 digits) is permanently tied to your electricity connection and never changes. Your reference number (14 digits) changes every month with each new bill. If you only have an old bill, the reference number on it won’t pull up your current bill  use your customer ID instead for that.

Lost Your Bill? Here's How to Still Check It

If you don’t have your paper bill and don’t remember either number, you have three options:

(1) check your banking app’s transaction history if you’ve paid a MEPCO bill online before most apps save the reference number there,

(2) visit your nearest MEPCO sub-divisional office with your CNIC to retrieve your customer ID, or

(3) use the MEPCO MIS portal, if you’ve registered here previously.

Check Your MEPCO Bill via SMS

No internet? No problem. Type PITC followed by your 14-digit reference number with no spaces (e.g., PITC12345678901234) and send it to 8334. You’ll receive your bill details by SMS, usually within a couple of minutes.

Why Your Bill Might Not Be Showing or Updating

If your bill isn’t appearing when you check, it’s usually because: the billing cycle hasn’t closed yet for the current month (bills are typically generated in the first week), your reference number belongs to a previous month, or there’s a temporary delay on MEPCO’s end. If it’s been more than a week past your usual billing date with nothing showing, contact your district’s MEPCO helpline directly.

Checking Your Bill by CNIC

MEPCO does not currently support checking your bill using your CNIC number directly. Your reference number or customer ID is required both are printed on any previous bill copy.

Who Runs Your Electricity, A Quick Look at MEPCO

If you live in Multan, Bahawalpur, Dera Ghazi Khan, or anywhere else in South Punjab, MEPCO (Multan Electric Power Company) is the company sending you your monthly bill. It’s been running since 1998, and today it’s responsible for keeping the lights on for around 34 million people across the region which makes it one of the busiest power distributors in Pakistan.

Here’s what that actually means for you as a consumer: MEPCO handles everything from meter readings and bill generation to complaint resolution and new connections. It draws power from a mix of sources WAPDA’s hydel plants, Hub Power Company, and several independent power producers which is part of why your tariff rate can shift depending on government-set fuel adjustments each quarter.

Not sure if you’re actually a MEPCO consumer? If your last bill’s letterhead says “MEPCO” or your area falls in South Punjab, you’re covered. Not sure which company serves your area? [check your MEPCO area coverage below] to confirm before trying to check your bill here.

MEPCO Map & Areas

MEPCO manages electricity supply across South Punjab through 8 operation circles: Multan, Sahiwal, Bahawalpur, Bahawalnagar, Muzaffargarh, Dera Ghazi Khan, Rahim Yar Khan, and Vehari. If you live in a town or tehsil under any of these circles, MEPCO is your electricity provider.

 

MEPCO Map

Where MEPCO's territory ends and who takes over:

This matters because if you’re near a district border, you might actually be served by a neighboring company instead. MEPCO’s coverage area touches five other distribution companies at these boundary points:

  • HESCO (Sindh): near Sadiqabad
  • PESCO (KPK): near Vahova
  • QESCO (Balochistan): near Fort Munro
  • FESCO: near Bhakkar
  • LESCO: near Sahiwal

MEPCO’s territory also touches the India border near Minchinabad, Bahawalnagar making it the only Pakistani distribution company whose service area spans three provinces.

Quick way to check: If your last bill’s letterhead says “MEPCO,” you’re confirmed. If you’re unsure and live near one of the boundary towns listed above, check your bill carefully a neighboring company might actually be serving you instead.

What Are the Extra Charges on Your MEPCO Bill?

Your MEPCO bill is not just the price of the electricity you used. The government adds a few extra charges too. This part explains what each charge means, in simple words no confusing terms.

MEPCO Bill Charges, Taxes & Surcharges​

FC Surcharge

FC means “Financing Cost.” This is a small extra charge, 43 paisa for every unit you use. This money helps pay off old debts in Pakistan’s power sector. Every consumer pays this, and it stays the same each month.

QTR Tariff Adjustment

This is a small extra charge added once every three months (in March, June, September, and December). The government adds this to balance out changes in electricity costs. You will only see this charge on your bill four times a year.

GST (General Sales Tax)

GST is a tax the government adds on almost everything you buy, including electricity. For most homes, this is around 17% of your bill. This money goes toward public services like roads, schools, and hospitals.

TV FEE

This is a small, fixed charge of Rs. 35 every month. It goes toward Pakistan Television (PTV), even if you don’t own a TV. Every electricity user pays this same amount.

Deferred Amount

If you didn’t pay your full bill last month, the leftover amount is added to this month’s bill as “Deferred Amount.” You don’t have to pay it all at once you can pay it along with your next bill.

💡 A Simple Example, Let's Say You Used 300 Units

Here’s how these charges would look on a real bill:

Charge Amount (Example)

Electricity cost (300 units)

Rs. 8,340

ContentFC Surcharge (43 paisa × 300 units)

Rs. 129

GST (17%)

Rs. 1,418

TV Fee

Rs. 35

Total Bill (approx.)

Rs. 9,922

(Note: This is just an example to show how charges are added. Your actual bill may be different depending on your tariff category, and QTR adjustment only appears every 3 months.)

Knowing what each charge means helps you check your bill properly and notice if something looks wrong.

MEPCO Peak Hours, What They Are and Who Pays More

Peak hours are the evening hours when everyone uses electricity at the same time people come home, turn on the AC, start cooking, and switch on the TV. This sudden rush puts pressure on the power grid, so the price per unit goes up during these hours.

Do You Actually Pay More During Peak Hours?

Here’s something most people don’t know: peak-hour pricing only applies if you have a TOU (Time of Use) or TOD (Time of Day) meter. These special meters are mostly found in industrial connections, factories, and large commercial setups. If you’re a normal residential customer with a regular meter, your rate stays the same all day, peak hours don’t directly change your bill.

That said, MEPCO still encourages everyone to reduce usage during peak hours, since it helps keep the whole grid stable, and can prevent area-wide load shedding.

MEPCO Peak Hours Schedule (2026)

MEPCO Peak Hours in Multan​

If You Do Have a TOU Meter; Here's What It Costs You

During peak hours, your per-unit rate can nearly double compared to off-peak hours. For example, running one air conditioner for 4 hours during peak time can add roughly Rs. 180–220 to your bill that day alone, which adds up to thousands over a month.

Simple tip: If you have a TOU meter, try running heavy appliances, washing machines, geysers, ironing, either before 5 PM or after 10/11 PM depending on the season. Small shifts in timing can meaningfully lower your bill.

How MEPCO Creates Your Monthly Bill

Your MEPCO bill doesn’t just appear out of nowhere, it goes through a few clear steps every month. Here’s exactly what happens, step by step.

Step 1: Someone Reads Your Meter

Once a month, a MEPCO worker visits your area and checks the number on your electricity meter. In some areas, this is done automatically through a smart meter instead.

Step 2: Your Usage Is Calculated

MEPCO compares this month’s meter number with last month’s number. The difference tells them how many units you used.

Step 3: Your Bill Amount Is Worked Out

Based on your units used, MEPCO applies your tariff rate (residential, commercial, or industrial), then adds taxes and extra charges like GST, FC Surcharge, and TV Fee.

Step 4: Your Bill Goes Online

This is the part most people want to know: your bill usually appears online within 2 to 3 days after your meter is read. So if you check online and see nothing yet, it likely just hasn’t been processed yet, try again in a day or two.

Step 5: Your Paper Bill Arrives

The printed copy is sent to your home too, but this takes longer, usually 5 to 7 days after the meter reading. In some rural areas, it can take even longer, sometimes arriving just a couple of days before the due date.

Step 6: You Get Time to Pay

Your due date is normally 15 to 20 days after your bill is generated. This gives you a fair window to pay before any late fee is added.

Quick Tip: If it’s been more than 5 days since your meter was read and your bill still isn’t showing online, something may be delayed it’s worth checking with your local MEPCO office.

MEPCO Meter Reading

A MEPCO worker checks your meter once a month, and that reading decides your bill. If your bill ever looks too high, checking your own meter reading is the easiest way to spot a mistake, and it gives you proof if you need to file a complaint.

MEPCO Meter Reading​

What Does MEPCO Actually Do?

MEPCO isn’t just the company that sends you a bill every month. It handles a lot more behind the scenes to keep your electricity running smoothly. Here’s what MEPCO actually takes care of:

If any of these services affect you directly, like a wrong bill or a lost meter reading, you can reach MEPCO through their helpline or your nearest sub-division office.

MEPCO Online Bill Payment

MEPCO provides support and various payment options to its customers regarding paying mepco electricity bills. This electric power company has introduced online bill payment through mobile applications. In addition, you can get your electricity bills paid at bank outlets if you want to go the conventional way.

Let’s talk about both the online and offline mechanism of mepco login payment in better details so you can assess which method suits you best.

MEPCO Electricity Bill Payment Methods

The online method of paying the MEPCO bill is the most convenient and time-efficient way to do so. With this online technique, you can pay the bills from anywhere even if you are out of the city. This digital method enhances the user experience of various billing options.

While the real MEPCO online billing has not been launched yet, some banking apps such as Easy paisa and Jazz cash have included this service in their apps.

To use online billing services, make sure that you have enough money in your bank account. Let us now take a look at some of the methods of bill payments online.

MEPCO Bill Payment Using Online Banking

Paid bills through the online banking service will be explained as follows:-

Through JazzCash

The JazzCash app provides a fast and safe bill transaction process. If you have installed this app, this method is going to make it easy to pay online bills. 

Through EasyPaisa

EasyPasia is one more option for MEPCO online bill payments. Furthermore, it has the option to make payments through a EasyPaisa agent.

Through Daraz Wallet

The Daraz Wallet allows users to pay bills. There are some steps you need to follow to make use of this method.

You have to select the Daraz wallet as your payment method. Once you press the “Pay” button, your payment will be made using the funds in your Daraz Wallet.

If a person does not have the required mobile applications or sufficient balance in their account, they can try looking for banks nearby to pay their Mepco bill. Alternatively, they can also head to any convenience outlets or mepco customer service center to make their payment. The following are some banks that allow bill payments:

Muslim Commercial Bank (mcb.com.pk)
Faysal Bank Limited (faysalbank.com)
Habib Bank Limited (hbl.com)
United Bank Limited (ubldigital.com)
Standard Chartered Bank (sc.com/pk/)
It is recommended to pay your bill before the deadline to avoid having to pay any further fee, and make sure to take a hard copy of your mepco bill with you to the bank.

MEPCO Bill Installment: Can't Pay in Full? Here's What to Do

If your electricity bill is too high to pay all at once, MEPCO lets you split it into smaller monthly payments instead. This is meant to help you avoid disconnection when money is tight.

Let us explore the installment plan options available to MEPCO users in more detail.

Important: This Is Only for Old, Unpaid Bills

A common mistake people make is thinking they can split this month’s bill. You can’t installments are only for past dues you haven’t paid yet, not your current bill. If you’re approved, you’ll still need to pay your regular monthly bill on top of your installment amount.

Who Is More Likely to Get Approved

How Much You Owe Decides Who Approves It

Different MEPCO officers can approve different amounts:

Officer Who Approves If You Owe Installment Payment of Bills
Sub-Divisional Officer
Up to Rs. 50,000
3 monthly payments
Executive Engineer
Up to Rs. 200,000
3 monthly payments
Superintending Engineer
Up to Rs. 500,000
4 monthly payments
Director Commercial
Up to Rs. 1,000,000
5 monthly payments
Customer Services Directorate
Up to Rs. 20,000,000
12 monthly payments

MEPCO Bill Payment Due Date Extension

Sometimes you just need a little more time to pay maybe your salary is delayed, or an emergency came up. MEPCO allows you to request a short extension on your due date, without having to split your bill into installments.

This is not the same as splitting your bill into installments. A due date extension simply gives you more days to pay your full bill in one go it doesn’t reduce or divide the amount. If you need to pay in parts instead, that’s a separate request (see our installment guide above).

Officer Who Approves If Your Bill Is Installment Payment of Bills
Sub-Divisional Officer
Up to Rs. 50,000
Up to 3 days
Executive Engineer
Up to Rs. 200,000
Up to 3 days
Superintending Engineer
Up to Rs. 500,000
Up to 5 days
Director Commercial
Up to Rs. 1,000,000
Up to 5 days
Customer Services Directorate
Up to Rs. 20,000,000
Up to 7 days

How to Request an Extension

What Happens If You Still Miss the New Deadline?

If you don’t pay even after your extended date, your bill will carry a late payment charge, and in some cases, your connection could be disconnected. If you genuinely can’t pay the full amount even with extra time, it’s better to ask about an installment plan instead of letting the extended date pass too.

MEPCO Tariff Rates 2026: Protected vs Non-Protected

MEPCO updates its electricity rates from time to time, based on government policy and fuel costs. These new rates affect how much you pay so it’s worth understanding where you stand.

What Does "Protected" Actually Mean?

If your household has used 200 units or less per month, on average over the last 6 months, MEPCO puts you in the “Protected” category. This means you pay a much lower rate per unit it’s a subsidy meant to help low-usage households.

If you regularly use more than 200 units, you’re “Non-Protected,” and you pay a higher rate closer to the real market cost of electricity.

⚠️ The Part Most People Don't Know

Here’s the important bit: if you cross 200 units even just once, it’s not just the extra units that cost more. Your entire bill for that month gets charged at the higher, non-protected rate including the first 50 units, which would normally be cheap. And once this happens, you often stay in the non-protected category for the next several months, even if your usage drops back down.

This is why one hot summer month with the AC running extra hours can end up costing far more than you’d expect not just for that month, but for months after.

How the Rates Are Structured (Approximate)

Consumer Type Consumption What You Pay
Protected
0–200 units/month
Lower, subsidized rate increases slightly per slab
Non-Protected
Above 200 units/month
Higher flat/market rate on your full usage

(Exact rupee amounts change with government updates check your latest bill or MEPCO’s official notice for the current rate per unit.)

How to Stay Protected

If lowering your bill matters to you, try to keep your monthly usage at or under 200 units especially in summer. Small changes like using fans instead of AC when possible, or running heavy appliances at night, can help you stay under the limit and avoid the much higher non-protected rate.

Getting a New MEPCO Connection

Building a new house, need a separate meter, or your old connection was disconnected? Here’s exactly how to apply, step by step.

Step 1: Go to MEPCO’s connection portal at enc.com.pk and click “Apply.” Choose Single-Phase or Three-Phase, and Domestic or Commercial.

Step 2: Enter your details and your closest neighbor’s electricity reference number this simply confirms your exact location.

Step 3: Upload these documents (each under 300 KB): your CNIC, proof of property ownership (or NOC if renting), your neighbor’s bill copy, and a Wiring Contractor’s Test Report.

Step 4: Save your tracking ID you’ll need it later to check status and print your form.

Step 5 (Important most people miss this): Applying online isn’t the final step. Print your form, attach hard copies of your documents, and submit them at your nearest MEPCO office, usually within a week.

Step 6: Once verified, MEPCO issues a “demand notice” your connection fee. Pay it at the bank, then submit the paid slip back to your office to complete the process.

Which Meter Do You Need?

Meter Type Best For What You Should Know
Single-Phase
Regular homes, small apartments
Standard for most households under 5 kW load
3-Phase
Larger homes, small shops
Required by law for houses bigger than 5 marla
Industrial/Commercial
Factories, large businesses
Built for continuous, heavy demand

What's a "Green Meter"?

 MEPCO’s smart meter read remotely, so you’re less likely to get a wrongly “estimated” bill. Ask if it’s available in your area when applying.

What Does It Actually Cost?

Connection Type Rural (Approx.) Urban (Approx.)
Domestic Single-Phase
Rs. 9,000 – 15,000
Rs. 14,000 – 20,000
Domestic Three-Phase
Rs. 90,000 – 110,000
Rs. 90,000 – 110,000
Commercial Single-Phase
Rs. 22,000 – 25,000
Rs. 25,000+
Commercial Three-Phase
Rs. 100,000 – 160,000
Rs. 150,000 – 160,000

(Approximate always treat your official demand notice as the final number.)

Your fee includes a refundable security deposit, a one-time processing charge, and usually the meter cost itself. If your property needs a new pole or transformer upgrade, that gets added too this is the most common reason two similar homes get different fees.

Tracking it: Use your application number or CNIC on the ENC portal. Once paid, installation is usually scheduled within a couple of weeks.

Need to Update an Existing Connection Instead?

If you’ve bought a property, need more power, or want to move your meter, you don’t need a brand-new connection just an update request.

Change When You'd Need It How Long It Takes
Owner’s Name
After buying/inheriting a property
Fastest, mostly paperwork
Load Extension
Adding AC, machinery, etc.
+1-2 weeks (needs grid check)
Meter Relocation
Moving meter on same property
Depends on wiring needed
Category Change
Residential → commercial, etc.
+1-2 weeks (needs inspection)

What you’ll need: CNIC, proof of ownership/rent agreement (+NOC if tenant), current bill, and a completed application form. Submit everything together in one visit a missing document is the most common cause of delay.

MEPCO Demand Notice: Fee, Payment & How to Track It

Once your new connection application is approved, MEPCO sends you a demand notice this is the fee you must pay before your meter gets installed. (For fee amounts by connection type, check the fee table in the New Connection section above.)

What This Fee Covers

Your demand notice usually includes three things: a security deposit (refundable later if you close the connection), a one-time processing charge, and the meter cost itself. If your property needs extra wiring, a new pole, or a transformer nearby, that gets added on top which is why your fee might be higher than a neighbor’s, even for the same type of meter.

How to Pay

Take your demand notice to any authorized bank and pay the exact amount shown. Always keep your paid receipt you’ll need it for tracking and in case of any dispute later.

How to Track Your Application, Step by Step

A Few Things Worth Knowing

  1. You cannot get your meter installed until this fee is paid there’s no way around this step
  2. Save every receipt and copy of your demand notice until your connection is fully active, in case anything needs to be reconfirmed later
  3. Tracking online saves you a trip to the office, but if your status hasn’t updated in over two weeks, it’s worth calling your local MEPCO office directly instead of waiting indefinitely

How to File a Complaint with MEPCO Online

MEPCO has launched a great feature called complaint registration, which enhances its customer service. If something’s wrong with your bill, meter, or connection, you can file a complaint online without visiting an office. Here’s how:

Your complaint goes straight to MEPCO’s Customer Complaint Management Department. Processing usually starts within 24 hours, and most complaints get resolved within 14 days.

Tracking Your Complaint

What If It's Not Resolved After 14 Days?

If your complaint is still open after two weeks, don’t just keep waiting. You can escalate it directly by emailing the Quality and Assurance department this is a separate channel specifically for complaints that weren’t handled properly the first time. Mention your original complaint number when you write in.

 Other Ways to Reach MEPCO

1.  Call the Contact Centre at 118

2.  Send SMS at 8118

3.  Email ccms@pitc.com.pk

A Quick Safety Note

Creating a CCMS account only needs your basic details and reference number. You should never be asked for your ATM PIN, OTP, or bank password to register a complaint if any site or call asks for this, it’s not legitimate.

MEPCO Load Shedding Schedule

A lot of people search for “load shedding schedule in Multan” or “load shedding in Bahawalpur,” expecting one single timetable for their whole city. But that’s not really how it works.

Your Schedule Depends on Your Feeder, Not Your City

MEPCO’s load shedding is organized by feeder, a specific power line serving a group of homes. Two streets right next to each other can be on completely different feeders, which means completely different shutdown times. This is why a schedule your neighbor shares on WhatsApp might not match what actually happens at your house.

How to Check Your Exact Schedule

This takes less than a minute and gives you the actual schedule for your house not a general area guess

Still stuck on something specific? Use the helpline numbers above, or check the FAQs below for quick answers to common questions.

Frequently asked Questions

How will I deal with the erroneous meter readings?

You can utilize the complaint service if you are facing an erroneous reading. Besides, you can use the nearest sub-division office or visit mepco.com.pk.

What do I do when the voltage is lower than normal?

If you are facing lower voltages at your place, get in touch with the S.D.O complaint office without delay.

Is it possible to obtain an extension on the due date for the bill payment?

Under most circumstances, the due date for the payment of MEPCO electricity bills cannot be postponed; although, in some instances, MEPCO wishes to grant a few days of leniency in this regard.

Why is my MEPCO bill higher than usual this month?

The most common reasons are: increased usage (especially AC or heater use), crossing the 200-unit protected limit, a quarterly tariff adjustment, or a fuel price adjustment (FPA) added that month. Compare your units used with last month's bill to spot the difference.

What happens if I pay my MEPCO bill after the due date?

A late payment surcharge gets added, usually shown as a higher "Payable After Due Date" amount right on your bill. Repeated late payments can eventually lead to disconnection.

Is a duplicate MEPCO bill valid for payment?

Yes. A duplicate bill has the exact same information as your original — amount, due date, units, and reference number. You can pay with it just like the original.

How many months of old MEPCO bills can I check online?

Most online tools show your most recent billing cycle. For bills older than a few months, you'll need to visit your MEPCO sub-division office or contact the helpline.

Is checking my MEPCO bill online free?

Yes, completely free — no charges apply for checking, viewing, or downloading your bill.

Can I pay only part of my MEPCO bill?

Not by default — MEPCO expects full payment to avoid penalties. If you're facing genuine financial difficulty, you can request an installment plan at your sub-division office instead.

What is a detection bill?

A detection bill is issued separately from your regular bill when MEPCO finds signs of meter tampering or unauthorized electricity use at a connection.
