Where is the reference number?

  1. 1Reference No — use this. Usually 14 digits printed in groups. Type the digits only; if a letter such as U follows them, leave it out.
  2. 2Consumer ID — not this. A separate, shorter number. The checker and the PITC bill page need the Reference No.
  3. 3Meter No — not this. Identifies the meter on your wall. Use it to confirm the bill belongs to your meter.

Your bill, explained

Know what you are paying for.

Every bill has the same eight blocks, whichever company sends it. Read them in this order and you will know whether the total is right before you pay.

  1. 1Account details. Reference No, tariff and load. Match them with an older bill before you pay.
  2. 2Dates. Bill month is the period billed, reading date is when the meter was read, and due date is the payment deadline.
  3. 3Meter readings. Present reading minus previous reading, times the multiplier (MF), gives the units billed.
  4. 4Company charges. The cost of those units, plus per-unit adjustments such as the fuel price adjustment.
  5. 5Government charges. Duty, fees and taxes collected through the bill, mostly worked out from the charges above.
  6. 6Arrears and adjustments. Unpaid amounts carried forward, or credits. A higher total can come from here rather than from more use.
  7. 7Amount payable. Pay the within-due-date amount on time. The after-due-date amount includes the late payment surcharge.
  8. 8Bill history. Units and amounts for past months. Compare with the same month last year, not only last month.

Plan ahead

Estimate your next bill before it arrives.

Your last bill already contains your rate, your taxes and your adjustments. Add today's meter reading and five short sums give you a realistic estimate, and warn you if you are about to cross into a higher band.

Finding a billWhere is the reference number on an electricity bill?

Look in the account-details area near the top of a previous bill for Reference No. Copy every digit, including zeroes at the beginning.

Finding a billIs Customer ID the same as the reference number?

No. They are separate identifiers. This checker uses the Reference No field; some official provider pages offer a separate Customer ID search.

Finding a billCan I find a bill using a name, CNIC or phone number?

No. This site does not search personal identity records. Ask the account holder or provider for the current reference number.

Finding a billCan I use the reference number from an old bill?

Usually yes because it often remains stable. Use the newest bill available if the meter, connection or account holder has changed.

Finding a billHow do I know which electricity company to choose?

Match the full company name or acronym printed at the top of the bill. A city alone may cross more than one service area.

Lookup problemsWhy does the official portal say the bill was not found?
