Tip: Enter digits only. Do not use spaces, dashes, or extra characters.
FESCO duplicate bill
A FESCO duplicate bill is useful when you have lost the original copy, need a digital record, or want to confirm the latest payable amount before making payment. The process for FESCO online bill download is the same as viewing the bill.
Pro tip: Keep the last few monthly FESCO bills saved in one folder so you can quickly compare usage, due dates, and charges. You can also check old FESCO bills using the same reference number.
FESCO bill reference number
Your 14-digit FESCO bill reference number is the key detail required to retrieve your bill online. Without it, you cannot check your bill through the official portal. Here is where to find it:
Look for the field labelled 'Reference No.' near the top of your printed FESCO electricity bill.
The same reference number is reused each month unless your connection details change.
Check a saved photo or PDF of an earlier FESCO bill for quick access to the reference number.
If you cannot locate any previous bill, visit or call your local FESCO subdivision office for assistance.
If you are a new connection holder and do not yet have a previous bill, keep your connection details and application records ready before contacting your local FESCO office.
By Name: The official PITC billing portal does not support bill lookup by consumer name. You must use the 14-digit reference number.
By CNIC: CNIC-based bill search is not available for standard DISCO bills including FESCO. The reference number is mandatory.
By Meter Number: Meter numbers are not used for online bill lookup. Your meter number is linked to the reference number in FESCO's system, but only the reference number works on the PITC portal.
FESCO bill charges
Many FESCO consumers pay the bill without checking what each charge means. Understanding the main line items can help you spot unusual increases and compare bills more confidently.
| Term | Meaning | What to Know |
|---|---|---|
| Energy Charges | Main electricity usage charge | Based on units consumed under your applicable tariff category |
| Fixed Charges | Base charges even when usage is low | Not the same as per-unit energy charges |
| FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment) | Adjustment for fuel cost changes | Can increase or decrease the bill depending on notified monthly adjustments |
| GST | General Sales Tax | Tax applied as per prevailing government rules |
| Electricity Duty | Provincial duty or levy | May appear as a separate line item on your bill |
| Arrears / Previous Balance | Any unpaid amount carried forward | Check this if your bill looks higher than expected |
| Credit / Adjustment | Correction or prior payment adjustment | This may reduce the current payable amount |
FPA stands for Fuel Price Adjustment. It is a monthly adjustment applied by NEPRA to account for changes in fuel costs used for electricity generation. FPA can increase or decrease your bill depending on whether fuel costs went up or down in that billing cycle. It appears as a separate line item on your bill.
Want to estimate your FESCO bill including FPA? Use the FESCO bill calculator.
FESCO bill rates
Residential electricity billing in Pakistan uses slab-based charging set by NEPRA. Your FESCO bill does not increase only because of more units — it can also change because your usage moves into a higher rate bracket.
Practical example: A home in Faisalabad that stays just below a slab boundary during winter may see noticeably lower bills than a similar home that crosses that threshold during summer AC usage.
Tip: If your monthly usage is close to a slab boundary, even a small reduction in consumption can help control the final FESCO bill.
For detailed tariff rates and unit calculations, see the FESCO bill calculator and tariff guide.
Peak hours affect commercial and time-of-use billing consumers. Published peak timings vary by season:
| Season | Peak Timing | Off-Peak Timing |
|---|---|---|
| December to February | 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM | Remaining hours |
| March to May | 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM | Remaining hours |
| June to August | 7:00 PM – 11:00 PM | Remaining hours |
| September to November | 6:00 PM – 10:00 PM | Remaining hours |
