WAPDA Bill — Check Any DISCO Electricity Bill

The Water and Power Development Authority (WAPDA) was Pakistan's monolithic power utility from 1958 until the sector was unbundled in the late 1990s. Under sweeping reforms, WAPDA was split into three functions: Generation (GENCOs and IPPs), Transmission (NTDC), and Distribution (10 regional DISCOs). WAPDA itself was retained purely as the authority responsible for water resources and hydel-power generation — Tarbela, Mangla, Neelum-Jhelum, Diamer-Bhasha and so on.

When people say "WAPDA bill", they almost always mean their monthly electricity bill from one of the ten DISCOs: MEPCO, LESCO, IESCO, GEPCO, FESCO, PESCO, QESCO, SEPCO, HESCO or TESCO. All ten share the same PITC (Power Information Technology Company) billing portal — which is exactly what our universal checker queries. That's why you can enter any 14-digit reference number from any DISCO and it works.

1. Grab any past electricity bill from any DISCO. Look at the top-left corner for a 14-digit reference number printed above the barcode.
2. Click Open universal checker above (or use any of the DISCO cards below).
3. Paste the reference number. Our system auto-detects which DISCO it belongs to based on the region prefix.
4. Press Check bill. A new tab opens on bill.pitc.com.pk with your current month's bill loaded.
5. Print, save as PDF, and pay at any bank, JazzCash, Easypaisa or bank app using the same reference number.

If you're unsure which DISCO you're on, check any past electricity bill — the company name is printed at the very top. Or match your city against this list:

• MEPCO — Multan, Bahawalpur, DG Khan, Sahiwal & surrounding South Punjab
• LESCO — Lahore, Kasur, Sheikhupura & Nankana Sahib
• GEPCO — Gujranwala, Sialkot, Gujrat, Hafizabad, Narowal & Mandi Bahauddin
• FESCO — Faisalabad, Jhang, Sargodha, Bhakkar, Mianwali, Khushab, Chiniot & Toba Tek Singh
• IESCO — Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal & Jhelum
• PESCO — Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — Peshawar, Mardan, Kohat, Bannu, DI Khan, Swat & more
• QESCO — All of Balochistan
• SEPCO — Northern Sindh — Sukkur, Larkana, Khairpur, Jacobabad, Ghotki & more
• HESCO — Southern Sindh — Hyderabad, Mirpurkhas, Badin, Thatta, Sanghar & more
• TESCO — Merged tribal districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

Karachi is served by K-Electric, which is not part of the WAPDA / DISCO network — it's a separately-privatised utility with its own 13-digit account number format. See our K-Electric bill checker.

Modern WAPDA is a lean, hydel-focused authority. It owns and operates most of the country's major dams and hydel power stations — around 9,400 MW of installed capacity, roughly 25% of Pakistan's total. Its Water Wing manages the Indus Basin Irrigation System, Tarbela and Mangla reservoirs, and ongoing megaprojects like Diamer-Bhasha (4,500 MW) and Mohmand (800 MW). None of that involves billing consumers directly.

The DISCOs handle every consumer-facing responsibility: meter reading, billing, complaints, new connections, load extension, disconnection and reconnection. Tariff is set by NEPRA (uniformly for all DISCOs except K-Electric) and notified by the Federal Government. So while you may still call it a "WAPDA bill" out of habit, the actual name printed on it is your DISCO's.

Regardless of which DISCO issues the bill, the format is standardised by NEPRA. Every bill has these blocks:

• Consumer particulars — 14-digit reference, name, address, tariff category, sanctioned load, meter serial.
• Reading & consumption — Previous / Current reading, units consumed, multiplication factor, days billed.
• Slab charges — variable energy split by slab (1-100, 101-200, 201-300, etc. for residential).
• Fuel Price Adjustment — per-unit fuel cost variance, notified monthly by NEPRA.
• Quarterly Tariff Adjustment — three-monthly capacity + transmission cost adjustment.
• Taxes & fees — 1.5% Electricity Duty, 18% GST, Rs. 35 PTV fee, 7.5% income tax on bills above Rs. 25,000, plus Financing Cost Surcharge.
• Payable within / after due date — miss the due date and a Late Payment Surcharge (~10%) applies.
