How to check MEPCO bill online without reference number?
It’s true that checking your MEPCO online bill by the reference number is the easiest and safest method out there. However, to facilitate customers who can’t find their reference number for any reason, MEPCO has introduced some other ways of accessing duplicate bills. Two major means of doing so are as follows;
1- By customer ID
Apart from reference numbers, you can also use customer ID to check your MEPCO bill online. Your customer ID is also mentioned right beside the reference number on your electricity bill. For this, all you need to do is to follow some simple steps;
- Visit the official MEPCO website by clicking the bill.pitc.com.pk/mepcobill
- Choose the check bill option and select the customer ID method to access your bill details
- Enter your 10-digit customer ID in the search bar and press the submit button
- The current duplicate copy of your MEPCO bill will be displayed on the screen within a few seconds.
Customer ID is generally mentioned on your MEPCO electricity bills, right below the connection date. This customer ID code never changes and is unique for every customer.
2- By meter number
As an MEPCO customer, you must have a meter connection and meter number with which the company manages your billing and consumption records uniquely. So, by using this meter number, one can check his MEPCO bill online simply by following the given steps;
- Visit the official MEPCO website and enter your meter number in the search bar
- Within a couple of seconds, your current billing status along with the payable amount and due date will be shown on your screen.
One thing that is important to mention here is that, unlike customer ID, the meter number can be changed by changing connections or transferring your meter from one place to another. So before you use this method to check your MEPCO duplicate bill online, get certain about your meter number.
3- By SMS service
Not exactly an online way to check your MEPCO bill, but this method is still the quickest, most efficient, and easiest one. To get to know about your current MEPCO bill via SMS service, all you need to do is;
- Send an SMS stating MEPB <space> ‘STMT NO’ <space> ‘METER NO’ <space> ‘DATE OF METER READING’ to 46040
All the required information that needs to be filled in the corresponding spaces can be easily found on your previous electricity bills. As soon as you hit the send button, you’ll receive a reply from MEPCO stating your current billing details and a short copy of your MEPCO duplicate bill.
