What Is the FESCO QR Code Bill Payment Facility
FESCO has introduced a QR code printed on the electricity bill so that consumers can pay without visiting a bank, a post office or a collection point. The facility was announced by FESCO’s Chief Engineer, Abid Rasheed, and it has been developed with the Punjab Information Technology Board (PITC).
QR Code on the Bill: Every original FESCO bill and demand notice carries a QR code that links to that bill’s payment details.
Digital Payment: Consumers scan the code with their mobile phone and pay the bill amount through their banking app or mobile wallet.
No Bank Visit: The facility removes the need to stand in a queue at a bank or a bill collection point.
Developed With PITC: The system has been developed with the Punjab Information Technology Board, which provides the technology behind the QR payment.
All Consumers: The facility is available to FESCO consumers in Faisalabad and the rest of the company’s service area.
How to Pay Your FESCO Bill With a QR Code
Paying through the QR code takes only a few steps. Consumers need their original bill and a mobile phone with their banking app or mobile wallet installed.
Take Your Original Bill: Keep your original FESCO bill or demand notice ready. Use only the QR code printed on the original bill.
Open Your Banking App or Wallet: Open your bank’s mobile app or your mobile wallet on your phone.
Select Scan QR Code: Choose the scan or QR payment option in the app.
Scan the Code: Point your phone’s camera at the QR code on the bill and scan it.
Verify the Amount: Check the bill amount, consumer number and bill month shown on the screen before confirming.
Confirm the Payment: Confirm the payment. You will receive instant confirmation that the payment has been made.
The QR code facility works with the payment apps that consumers already use for mobile banking. FESCO has said the payment can be made through banking apps and mobile wallets.
Banking Apps: Pay through the mobile banking app of your bank by scanning the QR code.
Mobile Wallets: Pay through your mobile wallet app using the same scan option.
Anytime Payment: The facility is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including weekends and holidays.
No Extra Visit: There is no need to visit a bank branch, a franchise or a collection point to pay the bill.
Instant Record: The payment is confirmed instantly, so the consumer has immediate proof that the bill has been paid.
Benefits of QR Code Payment
The QR code facility makes bill payment faster and more convenient, especially for consumers who cannot visit a bank during working hours. It also reduces the risk of errors that can happen when a bill is paid manually.
Time Saved: No queues and no travel to a payment point; the bill can be paid from home in a few minutes.
Accurate Payment: The QR code carries the bill’s own details, so the consumer number and amount are filled in automatically.
Instant Confirmation: The consumer receives confirmation at once, instead of waiting for the payment to be recorded.
Available 24/7: Bills can be paid at any time of day or night, including on the last date for payment.
Paper Trail: The payment appears in the app’s transaction history, which serves as a record of the payment.
FESCO has warned consumers to be careful when paying by QR code. Fraudsters can circulate fake bills or fake QR codes, so consumers must check what they are scanning.
Original Bill Only: Scan only the QR code printed on your original FESCO bill or demand notice.
Do Not Scan Unknown Codes: Never scan a QR code received through an unknown message, email or social media post claiming to be a FESCO bill.
Verify Before Paying: Always check the bill amount, consumer number and bill month on the payment screen before confirming the payment.
Keep the Receipt: Save the payment confirmation and the transaction record from your app as proof of payment.
Report Suspicion: If a bill or a QR code looks suspicious, contact FESCO on helpline 118 before paying.
