Where is my GEPCO reference number?
Along the top of any GEPCO bill you still have, in the box marked "Reference No." or "Consumer Reference" — between 10 and 14 digits. It belongs to the meter rather than to you or to one statement, so it stays the same month after month, and it is the only key PITC accepts when returning your duplicate.
Can I check my GEPCO bill using my CNIC?
No — and no other tool can either, because PITC indexes bills by reference number and holds no CNIC lookup at all. If every old bill is gone, the number is also printed in GEPCO's billing SMS, and the GEPCO helpline will read it back to you once they have verified the account.
Are GEPCO bills on BijliBillCheck.pk official?
They are. Your reference is sent to bill.pitc.com.pk and whatever comes back is displayed as-is — no figure is recalculated, no line is rewritten. It is the same document a GEPCO service counter would hand you. As with any bill, read the amounts against your own records before paying.
Why is my GEPCO bill so high this month?
In practice it is one of five causes. Consumption went up, and in this region cooling and water heating dominate that. NEPRA applied a positive Fuel Price Adjustment. The extra units pushed you into a dearer slab, so they cost more than the ones before them. Something is carried forward as arrears. Or a Late Payment Surcharge has been added. Lay this bill next to last month's and compare the units figure and the FPA line first — between them they account for most sudden jumps. Gujranwala and Sialkot's export-manufacturing shifts add a commercial/industrial load on top of the usual humid Punjab summer, so plaza and factory meters often move differently from residential ones.
Can I pay my GEPCO bill online after viewing the duplicate?
Yes, and no paper needs to change hands — the reference number is the only thing a payment app asks for. JazzCash, Easypaisa, NayaPay, SadaPay and the mainstream banking apps all take it. Keep the transaction ID until you see the payment reflected on a later bill.
How do I pay my GEPCO bill with JazzCash?
Open Bill Payment in JazzCash, pick GEPCO from the company list, and enter your reference number. Check the amount it quotes against the duplicate you have just opened before authorising. From a basic handset, *786# takes you through the identical sequence over USSD.
Can I check my GEPCO March, April, or October bill here?
What this page returns is the current cycle for your meter, and the billing month is printed on the statement itself. PITC publishes no archive of earlier months, so the practical habit is to save each month's PDF while it is still live. A fresh bill normally appears on or just after the issue date shown at the top of the previous one.
Why does my GEPCO bill increase in summer?
Cooling load, almost entirely. Air conditioning lifts monthly units sharply, and because the tariff is stepped, each of those additional units is charged at a higher rate than the ones beneath it — so the total rises faster than the consumption. A positive FPA in the same cycle makes it worse again. Inverter air conditioners, and for Time-of-Use meters shifting heavy appliances out of the evening peak, are the two changes that show up measurably on the next bill. Across Gujranwala, Sialkot, Gujrat this is the steepest seasonal swing anywhere in GEPCO's territory.
Does BijliBillCheck.pk store my GEPCO bill data?
No. There is no account to create, and the reference number is passed straight to PITC to render the bill rather than being written to any database on this side. The recent-lookups shortcut, if you use it, keeps those numbers in your own browser's storage on your own device. Treat the reference as account-sensitive anyway — on its own it is enough to view your bill.
How fast is GEPCO bill retrieval on this page?
A few seconds under normal conditions. The variable is PITC's response time, not anything here — around monthly billing dates the government portal slows noticeably. If a lookup returns nothing, read the digits back against the printed GEPCO bill before retrying, because a single transposed figure produces an empty result rather than an error.
Can I use a GEPCO duplicate bill for a bank or landlord?
Usually, yes. The duplicate carries the same reference, the same line items and the same amount as the original, which is what a bank or landlord is verifying. A few institutions still want a stamped original, so it is worth asking before you rely on it.
Is GEPCO duplicate bill valid for tax or tenancy proof?
Often it is, since it comes straight from the official PITC portal and reflects the GEPCO account exactly as the utility holds it. Whether to accept it is the authority's or landlord's decision rather than ours. Keeping the payment confirmation message alongside the PDF makes for a noticeably stronger record.
What if my GEPCO bill shows the wrong meter reading?
Note both readings exactly as printed, then raise it with GEPCO — the helpline on the bill, or your subdivision office if a physical meter inspection is needed. This site displays precisely what PITC returns; it cannot correct a reading or open a dispute on your behalf.
How do I complain about GEPCO billing or outages?
Begin with the GEPCO helpline printed on the bill, or your nearest GEPCO subdivision office for anything physical. If nothing moves, escalate to the Prime Minister's Delivery Unit or to NEPRA's consumer complaint portal at nepra.org.pk. We are an independent viewer with no access to GEPCO account records and cannot file anything for you.
What is protected vs unprotected on my GEPCO domestic bill?
Protected describes a household averaging 200 units a month or less, billed on NEPRA's subsidised slab rates. Above that you are unprotected and pay the full tariff, and the difference between the two is substantial. Your GEPCO bill prints which one applies. Households that qualify register through the Cross Subsidy Scheme at css.pitc.com.pk.
What is meter rent on my GEPCO bill?
A fixed monthly charge for the meter hardware itself, where it applies to your connection. On the GEPCO duplicate it sits with the energy and tax lines, and it does not move with how much you consume.
What is LPS on my GEPCO bill?
Late Payment Surcharge — the amount added once the due date on your GEPCO bill has gone by. It is why the bill prints two totals: the figure payable in time and the larger one after. Settle against the first and the second is never charged.
I did not receive my GEPCO bill SMS — what now?
The alert can miss for something as ordinary as an out-of-date mobile number on the account, or a network hiccup. Either way, the reference number pulls the bill up here regardless. It is worth ringing GEPCO to correct the registered number so later cycles do reach you.
Can I check my GEPCO bill from outside Pakistan?
Yes, as long as the PITC server is reachable from where you are. Some overseas ISPs and VPN exit nodes are blocked by Pakistani government portals — if the bill refuses to load, switching networks or turning the VPN off almost always fixes it.
What are GEPCO peak hours for electricity?
On a Time-of-Use meter in GEPCO territory the expensive band typically runs 7 PM to 11 PM, with everything outside it billed off-peak. Shifting cooling, ironing and laundry out of that window is where the money is saved. On a standard meter the time of day has no effect on the bill at all.
How do I apply for a new GEPCO connection?
