LESCO New Electricity Bill
LESCO, on the directions of NEPRA, has introduced a new electricity bill for the convenience of the consumers. It is simpler and easier to read. It contains less information than the old electricity bill. In this new government-proposed format, the taxes included in the electricity price are combined in one place, compared to the old format, in which all the taxes were listed separately. The old bill was tough to read because the taxes were listed separately. The new bill is simple and has less information.
It has great information for consumers about their category, like protected or non-protected, mentioned at the top, under the consumer information section. It has one box for taxes in which all taxes applied to the consumer’s bill are mentioned. It is for the convenience of consumers, so they can get an overview of all taxes applied to their bill in one box, rather than different taxes mentioned separately earlier. You can see the highlighted areas in the image below to understand the important information in the new electricity bill.
