TESCO Bill Online Check September 2026 – View & Download

To check your TESCO bill online, enter your 14-digit reference number or 10-digit consumer ID in the box below and open your latest bill straight from the official PITC system. TESCO stands for Tribal Areas Electric Supply Company, the government power distributor for Pakistan’s merged tribal districts — not Tesco, the UK supermarket. Your bill shows the current amount, due date, units used and the full charge breakdown, and you can view, print or save it as a PDF within seconds. No account or registration is needed.

Check Your TESCO Bill

Have your Reference Number or Consumer ID handy? Type it in and your current TESCO bill loads straight from PITC — quick, free, no account needed.

Straight From PITC

Reference No. 14 digits Consumer ID 10 digits

Your 14-digit Reference No.

Look for the REFERENCE NO box near the top of an old TESCO bill — the leading digits there identify your sub-division.

This widget only forwards you to the official PITC page for a live bill — nothing else. It is an independent tool, not run by TESCO, PITC, WAPDA or NEPRA, and the number you enter never leaves your browser.

How to check your TESCO bill online (step by step)

There are two ways to open your bill, depending on what you have on hand.

• Pick your tab. Choose Reference No. (14 digits) if you have a recent bill, or Consumer ID (10 digits) if that is what you kept.
• Type your number. Enter it exactly as printed, for example 12 34567 8901234. The spacing on the bill is only there for reading; the digits are what count.
• Press “Check My Bill.” The tool sends your number to the official PITC bill page, where your live bill loads in your browser. This site does not create, store or change the bill — it opens the same official copy you would get from PITC directly.

On the bill page you can read the full statement, print it, or save it as a PDF. There is also a Tax Certificate tab if you need proof of paid electricity charges for your tax return.

If you check the same connection often, tick “Keep this number saved on this device.” It stores the number only on your own phone or computer, so you do not have to type it next time. Nothing is sent anywhere else.

Where to find your reference number and consumer ID

Both numbers sit at the top of every TESCO bill.

• The Reference No. is a 14-digit number inside a labelled box in the upper part of the bill, usually on the right. It is tied to your meter and stays the same every month.
• The Consumer ID is a shorter 10-digit number shown just above or beside the reference number.

A useful detail: the first few digits of your reference number identify your sub-division, so if a number ever looks wrong, that leading part is the first thing to check.

No old bill in hand? Visit your nearest TESCO sub-division office or customer services centre with your CNIC, and they can give you your reference number.

Understanding your TESCO bill, line by line

A TESCO bill packs a lot into one page. Here is what each part means, top to bottom.

• Consumer details. Your name and address, sub-division, feeder and transformer (the local supply points your meter connects to), tariff category (for most homes this is domestic), sanctioned load (the maximum load approved for your connection, in kW), and your protected or unprotected status. A “pro-rata” note means the billing days were adjusted, usually after a gap between readings.
• Meter information. Your meter number, the multiplier factor (MF, normally 1 for home meters), your previous and present readings, and the units consumed — the difference between those two readings.
• Dates. The bill month, the reading date, the issue date, and the due date. Pay on or before the due date to avoid a surcharge.
• Amounts. Payable within due date is your on-time amount. Payable after due date is higher and includes the late payment surcharge. Below that you will see total electricity charges, any subsidy applied, arrears carried from earlier months, and any installment added to your bill.
• Bill history. A twelve-month record of units and payments, plus any deferred amount, so you can compare this month against the rest of the year at a glance.

Why your TESCO bill changes: taxes, fuel adjustment and slabs

If your units look normal but the amount jumped, the cause is usually one of these.

Slabs and protected status. Domestic rates rise in steps as you use more. Under NEPRA rules, a protected consumer is one who has stayed at or below 200 units in each of the last six months. Cross 200 in even one month and you move to unprotected rates — charged on all your units, not only the extra ones — for the next six months. Your bill’s category line shows which applies to you.

Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA/FCA). NEPRA sets this each month to match the actual fuel cost of generation. It can be positive or negative, is charged per unit, and is the most common reason a bill moves when your usage did not.

Fixed charges and surcharges. Your bill also carries GST, a TV licence fee, a financing-cost surcharge, a tariff-rationalisation surcharge and, where it applies, meter rent. These are set by the government and NEPRA, not by TESCO.

Before assuming an error, compare your units and the FPA line against last month, or use the TESCO bill calculator to estimate your total across the slabs. Rates and thresholds are revised by NEPRA through the year, so the figures on your current bill are the ones that count.

Areas TESCO covers

TESCO supplies electricity across the seven merged tribal districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa — Bajaur, Mohmand, Khyber, Orakzai, Kurram, North Waziristan and South Waziristan — along with the adjoining Frontier Regions.

The company is headquartered at WAPDA House in Peshawar, was set up in 2004, works under PEPCO and is regulated by NEPRA. Its bills run on the same PITC system used by every distribution company in the country, which is why the online check works the same way here as it does for other DISCOs.

One point that confuses many people: TESCO covers the tribal districts, while PESCO covers the settled districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa such as Peshawar and Mardan. They are separate companies with separate bills.

Bill check failed or number not found?

If your reference number will not load, work through these before worrying.

• Check the digits. Compare every digit against a recent paper bill, and leave off any letter that appears at the end — enter numbers only.
• Try again in a while. The official PITC portal is sometimes slow or briefly down. A second attempt after a short wait often works.
• Watch for a PESCO-to-TESCO change. Many connections in the merged districts were moved from PESCO to TESCO when the areas were reorganised. If your old number stopped working or shows outdated data, this is a likely reason.
• Still stuck? Your local TESCO sub-division office can confirm your current reference number. This also helps when paper bills arrive late or not at all in remote areas, or when the bill SMS did not reach you — a common situation, and exactly why checking online is worth it.

How to pay your TESCO bill

Once you have your bill open, your reference number is all you need to pay. A printed copy is optional.

• Mobile wallets: JazzCash, Easypaisa, NayaPay and SadaPay all have a utility-bill option — pick TESCO and enter your reference number.
• Bank apps and internet banking: HBL, UBL, Meezan, MCB, Allied and most other banks let you pay bills from your account, usually at no fee.
• ATMs, bank counters and post: Pay at an ATM on the 1Link network, at a bank counter, at Pakistan Post, or through an authorised payment agent. At a counter you can also pay using the barcode or QR code printed on the bill.

Available options can vary a little by area, so use whichever channel is closest and easiest for you.

New connection, meter and complaints

A few things go through official channels only.

New connection: Apply online through the government ENC portal at enc.com.pk. You will need your CNIC and property details. Our TESCO new connection guide covers the documents, fees, and steps in full.

Metering: TESCO is moving the tribal districts toward full household metering. A metered, paid connection means a steadier supply and fewer feeder trips in your area, so getting on a meter is worth doing where it is offered.

Complaints and outages: For a wrong bill, a meter fault or a power outage, contact TESCO customer services at 091-9212006, or the number printed on your bill, or use the official site tesco.gov.pk. Unresolved issues can be escalated through the Pakistan Citizen Portal, and billing disputes to NEPRA once TESCO has had a chance to respond.

This site only opens your bill. It cannot change meter readings, account details or bill amounts — those are handled by TESCO.

Practical ways to lower your bill

Real steps that make a difference, without false promises.

Stay under the protected threshold. If your home can keep to 200 units or fewer each month, you hold the lower protected rate. Reading your meter every few days helps you see when you are getting close.

Move heavy use off-peak. On a Time-of-Use meter, running the iron, washing machine or water pump outside evening peak hours costs less.

Cut standing load. Efficient bulbs, a serviced or inverter appliance, and switching off idle electronics all lower your baseline. In colder districts, winter heating pushes bills up, so this matters most from late autumn onward.

Consider solar with net metering. A solar system with a green meter can offset daytime use and, where approved, feed surplus back to the grid. It is an upfront cost, so weigh it against your yearly usage.
