LESCO ends electricity bill collection at Pakistan Post offices

LAHORE (Dunya News) - The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) announced the discontinuation of electricity bill collection services at post offices, marking a significant shift in the utility’s payment system.

Under the new arrangement, consumers will no longer be able to pay their LESCO electricity bills through Pakistan Post counters.

The decision is part of a broader strategy to enhance operational efficiency, streamline billing procedures, and modernize payment mechanisms for electricity users.

LESCO described the move as an important initiative aimed at improving service delivery and ensuring a smoother, more transparent payment experience.

The company emphasized that discontinuing bill collection through post offices will not affect the issuance of electricity bills or the supply of power to consumers.

Customers will continue to receive their bills through existing channels without interruption.

Consumers have been advised to use alternative authorized payment methods to ensure timely settlement of their bills.

These include QR code-based payments, commercial banks, and other officially approved digital platforms.

According to LESCO, shifting to these channels will help customers avoid inconvenience, long queues, or delays in bill processing.

Officials urged consumers to familiarize themselves with available digital tools, highlighting that these platforms offer secure transactions, real-time bill updates, and instant payment confirmations.

The company also stressed the importance of paying bills on time to avoid late payment surcharges or potential service disruptions.
