Reference number

Finding Your LESCO Reference Number

Your reference number is the key detail used to retrieve your bill online. It is usually available in more than one place.

On a printed bill

Look for the field labelled 'Reference No.' near the top of your printed LESCO electricity bill.

On an older duplicate bill

The same reference number is usually used again unless your connection details change.

From your utility records

Some users keep a saved photo or PDF of an earlier bill for quick access.

From your local LESCO office

If you cannot locate any previous bill, visit or contact your local LESCO subdivision office for guidance.

Can I check LESCO bill by name, CNIC, or meter number?

No. The PITC billing portal requires a 14-digit reference number. You cannot search by name, CNIC, or meter number. If you cannot locate your reference number, contact your local LESCO subdivision office with your CNIC and address details.

Bill charges

Understanding Your LESCO Bill Charges

Understanding what each charge on your LESCO bill means can help you spot unusual increases and compare bills more confidently.

Common Charges on Your LESCO Bill

TermMeaningWhat to Know
Energy ChargesMain electricity usage chargeLinked to units consumed and the applicable tariff slab
Fixed ChargesBase charges applied even at low usageNot the same as per-unit energy charges
FPAFuel Price AdjustmentMonthly surcharge or credit based on fuel cost changes notified by NEPRA
GSTGeneral Sales TaxTax component applied as per prevailing government rules
Electricity DutyProvincial duty or related levyMay appear as a separate line item on your bill
Arrears / Previous BalanceUnpaid amount carried forwardCheck this if your bill looks higher than expected
Credit / AdjustmentCorrection in your favourMay reduce the current payable amount

What is FPA in LESCO Bill?

FPA (Fuel Price Adjustment) is a monthly surcharge or credit applied by NEPRA based on changes in fuel costs for power generation. It can increase or decrease your bill amount each month independently of your consumption.

Tariff education

LESCO Slab Billing: Why Your Bill Amount Changes

Residential electricity billing uses slab-based charging. This means your bill does not increase only because of more units; it can also change because your usage moves into a higher bracket with higher per-unit rates.

  • Low-usage households fall into a lower-cost tariff category
  • Higher monthly consumption moves a connection into a more expensive slab
  • Crossing a slab threshold can make the total bill rise faster than expected
  • Summer usage spikes are the most common reason Lahore residents see higher bills

Practical example: A Lahore home using 290 units in winter might see a bill of around PKR 5,000. The same home using 450 units in summer could see PKR 12,000+ because higher slabs carry significantly higher per-unit rates.

For Commercial and Industrial Users

Commercial and industrial consumers may have additional billing concepts such as demand-related charges, connected load, maximum demand indicators, or time-of-use billing. These users should check the applicable tariff category and NEPRA-notified terms for their connection type.

Peak hours

LESCO Peak Hours and Off-Peak Timing

Peak hours matter most where time-of-use billing or demand management applies. Published peak timings vary by season.

June to August7:00 PM – 11:00 PMRemaining hours
September to November6:00 PM – 10:00 PMRemaining hours

How to Save on Peak-Hour Electricity

  • Shift heavy appliance use away from the evening peak where possible
  • Run washing machines, dishwashers, or similar high-load appliances later at night
  • Use timers and efficient temperature settings for air conditioners
  • Reduce unnecessary lighting and standby loads during high-usage hours
  • Lahore summers see extreme AC usage — consider inverter technology to reduce peak-hour costs
