How to Pay Electricity & Gas Bills Online (2026 Guide)
You can pay your electricity or gas bill from your phone in under two minutes — no bank queue, no trip to a payment centre. Here’s exactly how, using JazzCash, Easypaisa, and mobile banking, verified as of August 2026.
What You’ll Need
- Electricity bill: your 14-digit reference number (printed on your bill), and your DISCO name — LESCO, MEPCO, FESCO, IESCO, PESCO, GEPCO, HESCO, SEPCO, QESCO, or K-Electric
- SNGPL gas bill: your 11-digit consumer number
- SSGC gas bill: your 10-digit customer number
Pay via JazzCash
- Open the JazzCash app and sign in with your MPIN
- Tap “Bill Payment” or “Utility Bills”
- Select Electricity or Gas, then choose your company from the list
- Enter your reference/consumer number — the app will fetch your bill amount and due date automatically
- Review the amount, then confirm with your MPIN
You’ll get an SMS with a transaction ID — save it as your payment proof. Payment typically reflects in the utility company’s system within 24–48 hours.
Pay via Easypaisa
- Open the Easypaisa app and sign in with your PIN
- Tap “Bill Payment”
- Select Electricity or Gas, then your specific company
- Enter your reference/consumer number and review the amount
- Confirm payment from your Easypaisa balance
Easypaisa sends a confirmation SMS with a transaction number, which also appears in your in-app history.
Pay via Bank Apps
Most major banks — HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, MCB, Allied Bank, and Bank Alfalah — support bill payment through their mobile and internet banking apps. The process is similar across banks:
- Log in to your bank’s app
- Go to Bill Payments or Utility Bills
- Select the company and enter your reference/consumer number
- Confirm the amount and complete payment
Pay via ATM or 1-Link Network
Any ATM connected to the 1-Link network accepts utility bill payments. Insert your card, select the bill payment option, choose your utility company, and enter your reference number to complete the transaction.
Lost Your Bill? Get a Duplicate Online
You don’t need the original paper bill to pay online. Visit your DISCO’s or gas company’s official website (or use our bill-check guides) and enter your reference/consumer number to view and download a duplicate copy.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the reference number for electricity bills?
It’s the 14-digit code printed on your bill, used to identify your account with your DISCO.
Do SNGPL and SSGC use the same length consumer number?
No — SNGPL uses an 11-digit consumer number, while SSGC uses a 10-digit customer number.
How long does it take for payment to reflect?
Usually 24–48 hours, though JazzCash and Easypaisa payments are often confirmed instantly via SMS.
What if my payment doesn’t show up on the utility company’s system?
Keep your transaction ID/SMS receipt as proof, and contact your payment app’s support or the utility company’s helpline if the bill still shows as unpaid after 2-3 days.
