PESCO Duplicate Bill — What It Is and Why You Need One

A PESCO duplicate bill is an exact digital copy of the official bill issued for your electricity connection — generated from the same PITC billing system as the paper bill delivered to your home. It carries your reference number, meter readings, units consumed, taxes, payable amount and due date, exactly as printed.

There is no “duplicate” watermark and no difference in validity: banks, schools, government offices and landlords accept it everywhere the original is accepted.

Why you might need a duplicate bill

How to Read Your PESCO Bill

Every PESCO bill follows the same layout. Here is what each section means:

Reference No.

Your 14-digit billing identifier, printed at the top. On newer bills it ends with a letter — U for urban, R for rural connections.

Consumer ID

A 10-digit account number printed next to the reference number. It stays the same month after month, even if your reference format changes.

Billing month

The month this bill covers, plus the bill date and the payment due date. Pay by the due date to avoid the surcharge.

Meter readings

Your previous and present meter readings. The difference between them is your consumption for the month.

Units consumed (kWh)

Total electricity used. Domestic tariffs rise in slabs — the more units, the higher the per-unit rate.

FPA

Fuel Price Adjustment — a variable charge that reflects changes in fuel costs since the base tariff was set. It can be positive or negative.

Taxes & surcharges

Government levies itemised on the bill, such as GST, income tax and financing-cost surcharges.

Payable amounts

Two figures: the amount within the due date and the higher amount after the due date, which includes the late-payment surcharge (10% of the billed amount, excluding government taxes).

Arrears

Any unpaid balance carried over from previous months. Clear it to avoid compounding surcharges.

How to Check Your PESCO Electricity Bill Online

You can view your latest PESCO bill in under a minute — no account or login required.

1. Find your bill number. Locate the 14-digit Reference Number (or 10-digit Consumer ID) printed at the top of any previous PESCO electricity bill.
2. Enter the number above. Select “Reference Number” or “Consumer ID” and type the digits into the search box.
3. Click “Check Bill”. Your latest PESCO bill loads instantly in the viewer on this page — no login needed.
4. Print or save the bill. Use the “Print / Save as PDF” button to print a hard copy or download the bill as a PDF for your records.

Lost Your Reference Number?

You cannot look up a bill by name or CNIC alone — but recovering your number is straightforward:

1. Call 118 (toll-free, 24/7). Give your name, CNIC number and address — the representative will read your reference number back to you.
2. Send an SMS to 8118 with your complaint or request; PESCO responds with guidance for your connection.
3. Visit a customer service center in your area with your original CNIC. Staff will retrieve your reference number and Consumer ID on the spot.

Tip: once you have it, save the 10-digit Consumer ID in your phone contacts — it is shorter, never changes, and works with the checker above.

PESCO Peak Hours

Under Time-of-Use (ToU) metering, electricity consumed during peak hours is billed at a higher per-unit rate. Shifting heavy appliances — air conditioners, water pumps, irons, washing machines — outside these hours directly lowers your bill.

Peak-hour billing applies only to Time-of-Use (ToU) meters — typically three-phase and high-load connections. Standard domestic meters are billed on a single tariff whatever the time of day.

Areas Served by PESCO

PESCO supplies electricity to over 3.74 million consumers across Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — a service territory of about 51,800 km², the largest of any DISCO in Pakistan. In January 2023 the Hazara circles were split off into the new HAZECO (HQ Abbottabad); bills for Hazara are still fetched through the same PITC portal. If your connection falls in one of these districts, this checker is for you:

PESCO was incorporated in April 1998 after WAPDA’s unbundling. In January 2023 the federal government bifurcated PESCO — the two Hazara circles became the new HAZECO (Hazara Electric Supply Company, HQ Abbottabad), while PESCO kept six circles and operates under NEPRA regulation. If your bill is issued by a different DISCO, use that company’s checker instead.

PESCO Tariff Snapshot (Domestic)

Domestic (A-1) tariffs are set by NEPRA in slabs — the more units you consume, the higher the per-unit rate. Protected consumers (6-month average ≤ 200 units) pay subsidised rates; everyone else pays non-protected rates plus fixed charges.

Rates change with NEPRA notifications — treat this table as a guide and read the exact per-unit rate printed on your bill. Taxes, FPA, fixed charges and surcharges sit on top of these base rates.

Download and Print Your Bill

Once your bill is open in the viewer, click Print / Save as PDF in the viewer header. In the print dialog, choose “Save as PDF” to download a copy, or select your printer for a hard copy.

1. Save as PDF if you want to email the bill, keep digital records, or print it later from any device.
2. Print on white A4 paper. Black-and-white printing is perfectly fine — colour is not required.
3. Do not crop or edit the bill. Use the full page as-is with margins intact, so every institution accepts it.
4. Print two copies when submitting to a bank, school or office — submit one, keep one for your records.
