A comprehensive, plain‑language guide for consumers in Gujranwala, Sialkot, Gujrat, Narowal, Hafizabad, Mandi Bahauddin, and Wazirabad. Learn exactly how to check your GEPCO bill online, understand every charge (including FPA, GST, and tariff slabs), and resolve common billing issues.
Checking your GEPCO bill online is a straightforward process that takes less than two minutes. However, there are important security considerations and common mistakes to avoid. This guide walks you through each step with detailed explanations and pro tips.
Where to find it: The reference number (also called "Consumer ID" or "Ref No.") is printed prominently on the top-right corner of any previous GEPCO bill. It is exactly 14 digits long (e.g., 0311-1234567-8).
If you don't have a previous bill: Visit your local GEPCO sub-division office with your original CNIC. The staff can provide your reference number after verifying your identity and address. This is the only official way to retrieve it.
Pro tip: Take a photo of your reference number and store it securely on your phone. You'll need it every month to check your bill.
Correct method: Open your browser and manually type gepco.com.pk into the address bar. Press Enter. This ensures you're visiting the legitimate site and not a phishing clone.
Security warning: Never click on GEPCO bill check links from unsolicited emails, SMS messages, or social media posts. Scammers frequently create look-alike domains (e.g., gepco-online.com, gepcobill.pk) to steal personal information.
Verification: Once on the site, look for the padlock icon in your browser's address bar and verify the URL exactly matches gepco.com.pk before entering any information.
Finding the enquiry section: On the GEPCO homepage, look for the "Bill Inquiry" or "Online Bill" section. This is usually prominently displayed on the left side or in the main navigation menu.
Entering your number: Type your 14-digit reference number exactly as it appears on your bill. Common mistake: Many users accidentally include spaces or dashes. Enter only the digits — no spaces, no dashes, no special characters.
Double-check: Before clicking "Submit" or "View Bill," verify the number one more time. A single digit error will return "No record found" and require you to start over.
What to expect: After submitting your reference number, your current bill will appear on screen. This is a digital version of the paper bill you'd receive by mail.
Download options: Most browsers allow you to save the page as a PDF (File → Print → Save as PDF) or print it directly. Saving a PDF copy is recommended for your records.
If nothing appears: This usually means the bill for the current cycle hasn't been generated yet. Wait 24-48 hours into the new billing cycle, then try again. If the issue persists, see our troubleshooting section below.
GEPCO bills can be confusing. There are multiple charges, taxes, and adjustments that may not be immediately clear. Below, we break down every line item you'll see on your bill, with plain‑language explanations of what each charge represents and why it appears.
This is the total electricity you used during the billing period. It's calculated by subtracting your previous meter reading from your current reading. Important: Check if your reading is marked as "Actual" or "Estimated." Estimated readings are based on historical usage and can sometimes be inaccurate.
FPA is a variable charge that reflects the actual cost of fuel used to generate electricity during the billing month. When fuel prices (like oil, gas, or coal) rise, the FPA increases. When they fall, the FPA may be negative (a credit on your bill). This is a pass‑through charge that GEPCO cannot control.
Your bill shows two amounts: "Amount Payable by Due Date" and "Amount Payable After Due Date." The second amount includes a late payment surcharge (typically 5-10% of your bill). Important: The surcharge is automatically applied to any payment received after the due date.
Your sanctioned load is the maximum electricity capacity (in kilowatts) that your connection is approved to handle. Running consistently near or above your sanctioned load can cause your circuit breaker to trip and may result in additional charges.
Even when you follow the correct process, you might encounter issues with your GEPCO bill. Below are the most common problems consumers face, with step‑by‑step solutions based on real‑world experience.
Possible causes:
Solution: Double-check your reference number. If it still doesn't work, visit your local GEPCO sub-division office with your CNIC.

GEPCO uses a progressive tariff system where the per-unit cost increases as you consume more electricity. This is designed to encourage conservation. Below is the approximate tariff structure for domestic (A-1) consumers. Important: These rates are set and revised by NEPRA. Always check NEPRA's official website for the latest rates.
| Units (kWh) | Slab Category | Approximate Rate (PKR/kWh) | Typical User |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 – 100 | Protected / Lifeline | ~5 - 10 | Low-income households, small apartments |
| 101 – 200 | Standard Incremental | ~10 - 15 | Average families with basic appliances |
| 201 – 300 | Higher Incremental | ~15 - 20 | Families with air conditioners, water heaters |
| 301 – 700 | Peak Rate | ~20 - 25 | Large households, high usage |
| 701+ | Maximum Rate | ~25 - 30 | Commercial-scale domestic usage |
