Consumer Details & Reference Number
The top of your TESCO bill shows the consumer name, mailing address, sub-division office, and the tariff code (A-1, A-1a, A-2, B-1, D-1, D-2) that determines which slab ladder applies to your bill. Next to the address, the reference number — a 14-digit identifier — is used by every payment channel to look up the bill.
Previous Reading, Current Reading & Units Consumed
Previous Reading
The meter reading recorded last month. Your bill's units consumed = Current Reading − Previous Reading.
Current Reading & Date
The reading taken this billing cycle. The reading date shows when the meter reader visited. If you suspect a wrong reading, compare to your physical meter today.
Units Consumed (kWh)
The net difference between current and previous readings. This single number drives every charge on the bill — energy charge, slab determination, and taxes.
Tariff Category
Your connection type: A-1/A-1a = domestic, B-1 = commercial, D-1/D-2 = industrial. The category determines which NEPRA slab ladder and applicable charges apply.
Every Charge Line — What It Means
Energy Charge
Units × the NEPRA-approved slab rate for your tariff category. Domestic consumers under 300 units/month may qualify for the protected consumer rate — a lower rate set by the government.
FPA — Fuel Price Adjustment
A monthly variable adjustment approved by NEPRA reflecting actual fuel purchase costs vs. the base tariff assumption. Can be positive (you pay more) or negative (credit on bill). See the FPA guide for detail.
Government Levies
Electricity Duty (ED), Neelum-Jhelum Surcharge (NJS), Tariff Rationalization Surcharge (TRS), and GST are statutory charges mandated by federal or provincial law. They appear as separate line items after the energy charge.
TV Fee
A fixed monthly fee collected by DISCOs on behalf of PTV (Pakistan Television Corporation). Applied to all domestic connections regardless of whether the consumer owns a TV.
Payable Amount, Due Date & After-Due-Date Surcharge
Payable within due date is the amount owed on or before the printed date. Payable after due date includes a late-payment surcharge set by NEPRA. Always pay before the due date using any channel on the ways-to-pay hub.
Arrears are unpaid amounts carried over from prior months. Adjustments are corrections applied by TESCO (wrong-reading refund, solar net metering credit, etc.). An Instalment line means a prior settlement is being spread across multiple months.
