You don’t need to stand in a queue at a bank anymore. Pakistan’s digital payment ecosystem has come a long way, and PESCO bills can now be paid through multiple channels easily.
Mobile Banking Apps
Almost every major bank in Pakistan now supports PESCO bill payment through their mobile app. Here’s how it generally works:
- Open your bank’s mobile app (HBL Mobile, Meezan Bank App, UBL Digital, MCB, etc.)
- Go to “Bill Payments” or “Utility Bills”
- Select Electricity → then choose PESCO
- Enter your 14-digit reference number
- The app will show your bill amount
- Confirm and pay — done
Banks that support PESCO bill payment include HBL, UBL, Meezan Bank, MCB, Bank Alfalah, Habib Metro, and most others.

Internet Banking
Most bank websites also offer utility bill payments through their internet banking portals. Log in, go to bill payments, select PESCO, and enter your reference number.
PESCO Bill Check By CNIC
This is one of the most frequently searched questions — and honestly, people are often disappointed by the answer.
Currently, PESCO does not officially support bill checking by CNIC number directly online. The standard online system requires either your 14-digit reference number or your 10-digit consumer ID.
So if someone told you that you can check your PESCO bill just by typing your CNIC into a website — that’s not accurate for the official system.
PESCO Online Bill Check by Name
Same situation here. PESCO’s online portal does not allow consumers to search by name. The system is reference-number based.
Why? Because there can be thousands of people with the same name registered across KPK. A name search without further verification would create serious privacy issues.
The practical workaround:
If you genuinely don’t have your reference number:
- Check any old PESCO bill you may have received at home
- Ask your landlord if you’re a tenant — they should have it
- Call PESCO helpline 118 with your address and CNIC for assistance
- Visit the nearest PESCO office and request your consumer details
Once you have your reference number, checking your PESCO web bill online takes just seconds.
PESCO Old Bill History Check
Want to check what your PESCO bill was last month? Or three months ago? Good news — PESCO’s bill system does show a payment history.
When you generate your current PESCO duplicate bill online:
- Open the full bill view
- Scroll down to the “Bill Payment History” section
- You’ll see the last 12 months of billing and payment records
This includes how much was billed, what was paid, and when. It’s really useful if you’re tracking your consumption trends or checking whether a previous month’s bill was actually paid.
Important: You can only check payment status for recent bills this way. For very old bills (more than 12 months), you’d need to contact PESCO’s office directly as the online portal doesn’t go further back.
