If your paper electricity bill has not arrived, or you have misplaced it, you do not need to visit a MEPCO office to find out what you owe. MEPCO bill check online lets you view your current bill, its amount and its due date from home, free of charge, using only the reference number printed on any old bill. This guide covers the online check, the SMS method, and how to get a duplicate bill you can actually pay with.
MEPCO stands for Multan Electric Power Company, and it serves Multan and surrounding districts of South Punjab. Its bills are generated on the system of the Power Information Technology Company (PITC), which is why the official bill page is a PITC page rather than a MEPCO page.

Find Your Reference Number First
On any old bill: The 14-digit reference number is printed near the top of every MEPCO bill, in the box labelled “REFERENCE NO”.
It never changes: Your reference number stays the same every month, even though the amount changes.
Consumer ID alternative: If you cannot find the reference number, the 10-digit consumer ID from the same bill also works on the portal.
Save it on your phone: Keep the number saved so you never have to hunt for an old bill again.
No CNIC check online: You cannot look up a bill online with your CNIC or name alone; the system needs the reference number or consumer ID.
Open the official bill page: Go to the PITC MEPCO bill page linked below in the contact table.
Enter the number: Type your 14-digit reference number or 10-digit consumer ID, without spaces or dashes.
Submit and wait: Your current bill loads from the PITC system, showing the billing month, units consumed, payable amount and due date.
Check the details: Confirm the amount, due date and meter reading before paying.
Save a duplicate: Use the print option or Save as PDF to keep a copy for payment and records.
Check Your Bill by SMS
Send one message: Type PITC, a space, then your 14-digit reference number, and send it to 8334.
What you get back: An SMS reply with your current bill amount and due date.
Monthly alerts: Sending your reference number to 8118 has been reported as the route for automatic monthly bill alerts.
One honest caution: Some 2026 consumer pages report that 8334 is no longer clearly listed as an active bill-inquiry service, and that 8118 is now used for complaint registration. If the SMS reply does not arrive, use the PITC online page or the MEPCO SMART app instead.
No internet needed: The SMS route is still the best option where mobile internet is weak.
Duplicate Bill: Print It and Pay With It
What a duplicate is: A duplicate bill is simply your current bill printed or saved as PDF from the official page.
Accepted for payment: Banks, post offices and mobile wallet shops accept the printed duplicate, because it carries the same reference number, barcode, due date and amount as the original.
Pay anywhere: You can pay through banks, Easypaisa, JazzCash and MEPCO offices using the duplicate.
Late payment warning: Paying after the due date can add a surcharge, so check the due date on the duplicate before you delay.
Keep a record: Save each month’s PDF to compare units if a bill ever looks wrong.
Checking a MEPCO bill online takes under a minute once you have your 14-digit reference number: open the official PITC bill page, enter the number, and your current bill, amount and due date appear. Print or save the duplicate and pay it at any bank or wallet shop. If the SMS route does not reply, switch to the online page or the MEPCO SMART app, and if you have lost the reference number entirely, your subdivision office or the helpline can trace it with your CNIC.
