What Is a LESCO Duplicate Bill?
A LESCO duplicate bill is an online copy of the monthly electricity bill issued by Lahore Electric Supply Company. It carries the same reference number, units, amount and due date as the paper bill the meter reader leaves at your door. The data comes straight from the official billing system run by PITC (Power Information Technology Company), so the copy is reliable for checking your dues and for paying them.
People usually need a duplicate copy when:
- the paper bill was not delivered, got wet or was thrown away by mistake;
- they want to pay early, before the paper bill arrives;
- they need a recent utility bill for a rent agreement, school admission, bank account or visa file;
- a family member or tenant living in another city has to pay on their behalf.
What You Need Before You Check
You need only one of these two numbers. Both are printed in the top-left part of every LESCO bill.
| Number | What it looks like | Where to find it |
|---|---|---|
| Reference number | 14 digits plus a letter (U or R), in the pattern 12 34567 1234567 U | “Reference No” box at the top of the bill |
| Customer ID | A separate, shorter consumer number | “Consumer ID” row, close to the reference number |
Type the reference number as 14 digits only. Do not add spaces, dashes or the U/R letter at the end. If you prefer the customer ID, follow our guide on LESCO bill check by customer ID.
How to Check Your LESCO Duplicate Bill Online (Step by Step)
- Open the official bill page. Go to the PITC LESCO bill portal at bill.pitc.com.pk/lescobill, or use the free checker on our homepage.
- Pick your search type. If the page asks, choose whether you are searching by reference number or by customer ID.
- Enter the number. Type the 14 digits carefully. A single wrong digit opens someone else’s bill or shows an error.
- Press Search. Your latest LESCO duplicate bill opens on screen within a few seconds.
- Verify the details. Match the name, address, billing month and amount with an old bill before you pay.
Tip: bookmark the bill page on your phone. Next month you only have to open the bookmark and type the number again.
How to Download a LESCO Duplicate Bill as PDF
The bill opens inside your browser, so the easiest way to keep a copy is the browser’s own print option. It works on every device and needs no app.
On a computer (Chrome, Edge or Firefox)
- Open your bill as shown above.
- Press Ctrl + P on Windows or Cmd + P on a Mac.
- Under “Destination”, choose Save as PDF.
- Keep paper size A4 and layout Portrait, then click Save.
On an Android phone
- Open the bill in Chrome.
- Tap the three-dot menu, then Share and Print.
- Select Save as PDF at the top and tap the PDF icon.
On an iPhone
- Open the bill in Safari and tap the Share icon.
- Choose Print.
- In the print preview, tap the Share icon again and pick Save to Files.
Give the file a clear name such as “LESCO-bill-October-2026.pdf” so you can find it later. A folder with twelve monthly PDFs also makes it easy to spot a sudden jump in units.
How to Print a LESCO Duplicate Bill
- Use A4 paper and keep the scale at 100% or “Fit to page” so no part of the bill is cut.
- Turn on Background graphics in the print settings so shaded boxes and QR codes come out clearly.
- Black-and-white printing is enough; colour is not required for payment.
- Check that the QR codes are sharp. A blurred code cannot be scanned.
What Information Does a LESCO Duplicate Bill Show?
The online copy shows the same details as your paper bill:
- consumer name and address;
- reference number and customer ID;
- tariff (for example, residential) and sanctioned load;
- previous and present meter readings and the units used;
- bill month, reading date, issue date and due date;
- amount payable within the due date and after the due date (with the late payment surcharge);
- billing history for the last 12 months, including payments. NEPRA’s Consumer Service Manual requires every bill to show this history.
New in 2026: Since June 2026, LESCO bills use a simpler layout with QR codes. One QR code shows the full breakdown of taxes and adjustments, one is for protected-consumer subsidy registration, and one lets you pay through a banking app. If your copy shows these codes, make sure they print clearly.
Want to know if the amount is fair? Enter your units in our LESCO bill calculator or compare them with the current LESCO unit rate slabs.
Why Is This Month’s Amount Different?
Even when your units stay the same, the bill can change because of monthly and quarterly adjustments decided by NEPRA. For example, October 2026 bills include a fuel charge adjustment of Rs1.11 per unit for August 2026, and September to November 2026 bills carry a quarterly adjustment of about 52 paisa per unit. Lifeline consumers are exempt from both. Crossing a slab limit, such as going above 200 units, can also raise the per-unit rate for the whole month.
Can You Pay With a LESCO Duplicate Bill?
Yes. NEPRA’s manual says bills must be available on the company website for downloading and payment, so you can pay with a LESCO duplicate bill. Your options include:
- Banking apps and internet banking: choose Utility or Electricity, then LESCO, enter the reference number and confirm.
- Mobile wallets: JazzCash, Easypaisa and similar apps under Bill Payments, Electricity, LESCO.
- QR code: scan the payment QR code on the bill with a banking app that supports QR payments. LESCO introduced QR bill payment in October 2025.
- Bank branches and ATMs: show the printed copy at the counter, or enter the reference number at the ATM.
Post offices stopped collecting LESCO bills on 1 April 2026, so use a bank, an app or another authorised channel instead. Pay before the due date to avoid the late payment surcharge.

No Reference Number? Other Ways to Get Your LESCO Duplicate Bill
- Look at any old bill. The reference number stays the same for the same meter.
- Check bank, ATM, JazzCash or Easypaisa receipts and the billers saved in your app.
- Ask your landlord or the property owner.
- Call the Power Division helpline 118, or visit your LESCO sub-division office with your CNIC and address.
Some websites claim to find a bill by name or CNIC. The official portal works with the reference number or customer ID, so never type your CNIC, OTP or bank PIN on a site that only promises to show your bill.
Stay Safe: Use Official Sources Only
- Open the bill only on the official PITC page, the official LESCO Light app, or a trusted checker that asks for nothing except the reference number.
- In May 2026 the Power Division warned about fake QR codes and subsidy links. Scan only the QR code printed on your own bill.
- Pay only through banks, licensed wallets and other authorised channels.
