How to Check Electricity Bill Online in Pakistan — Complete 2026 Guide

Checking your bijli bill online used to require a visit to a DISCO office or a call to the helpline. Today, with the official PITC portal and tools like iBill.pk, you can view your full duplicate bill quickly from any device. The portal is generally fast outside of peak billing periods — in the final week of the month, when due dates cluster and millions of consumers check simultaneously, it can be slow or temporarily unresponsive. If it fails on first attempt, try again after a few minutes or use iBill.pk as the entry point. Here is how.

What You Need

One thing: your 14-digit Reference Number. It is printed on any previous physical electricity bill in the top-left section, inside a box labeled "Reference No" or "Ref No." The format looks like: 01 11223 1234567 U — you only need the 14 digits, not the trailing letter.

If you have never received a physical bill — you recently moved in, for example — contact your DISCO's helpline (118 for most DISCOs) with your meter number and address. They can look up your Reference Number over the phone after verifying your identity.

How to Check Your Bill on iBill.pk

  1. Go to the iBill.pk checker for your DISCO — for example, LESCO, MEPCO, IESCO, FESCO, or GEPCO
  2. Enter your 14-digit Reference Number — numbers only, no spaces or dashes
  3. Click Continue to bill details
  4. The official PITC bill for your account opens in a new tab

The page that loads is the actual PITC billing portal — the same government system all DISCOs use. iBill.pk connects you directly to it without requiring registration or a login.

Checking the Bill Directly on the PITC Portal

If you prefer to go directly to the source:

  1. Open bill.pitc.com.pk in your browser
  2. Select your DISCO from the dropdown
  3. Enter your Reference Number
  4. Click Submit

The PITC portal is the authoritative billing system. The bill it shows is the official record — used for payment, address verification, and billing dispute purposes.

What the Online Bill Shows

Your duplicate bill includes:
- Consumer name and registered address
- Tariff type (A-1P protected or A-1 unprotected — this matters significantly for your per-unit rates)
- Units consumed and meter readings for the current billing cycle
- Current charges, previous balance, and total amount payable
- Due date and after-due-date amount (includes a late payment surcharge if you pay after the due date)
- 6-month billing history showing unit consumption by month

Once you have the bill in front of you, paying it takes under two minutes. See How to Pay Your Electricity Bill Online in Pakistan for every available payment method.

Saving or Printing Your Duplicate Bill

To save the bill as a PDF:
1. Press Ctrl+P on Windows or Cmd+P on Mac when the bill is open
2. Select Save as PDF from the printer options
3. Click Save

The saved PDF is the official duplicate bill — accepted by banks for address verification and by landlords or tenants as proof of utility registration.

Finding Your Reference Number If You Lost the Bill

From the PITC portal itself: If you remember your 10-digit Customer ID (also on old bills, labeled "Application No"), the PITC portal accepts this as an alternative lookup.

From your DISCO helpline: Call 118 with your meter number and registered address. Most DISCO helplines can provide your Reference Number after verifying your identity.

From the DISCO office: Any sub-divisional office can look up your Reference Number with your CNIC and address.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I check my electricity bill by CNIC or name?
No. The PITC portal only accepts a 14-digit Reference Number or 10-digit Customer ID. There is no lookup by CNIC or name — this is intentional for account privacy.

What does "Not Found" mean when I check my bill?
Usually one of three things: you selected the wrong DISCO for your area, entered the wrong Reference Number, or the PITC system is temporarily down for maintenance. Verify that you have chosen the DISCO that actually serves your location, then double-check all 14 digits.

Can I check my bill from outside Pakistan?
Yes. The PITC portal and iBill.pk are accessible from any location worldwide. Enter your Reference Number and your bill will load regardless of where you are.

Is the online duplicate bill valid for bank address verification?
Yes. The bill generated from the PITC portal is an official document and is widely accepted by Pakistani banks as proof of address for account opening, loan applications, and KYC requirements.

How often does the portal update?
The PITC portal always shows your most recent bill. New bills become available within a few days of the meter reading date. Payments typically reflect within 24–48 hours of being processed.

What if my bill has not been generated yet for this month?
The portal shows your last available bill. If the current month's bill has not been issued yet, you will see last month's record. Bills are generated on a rolling schedule and different consumers have different meter reading dates within the month.
