The paper bill never arrived. It arrived and got lost. Your landlord did not pass it on. You need a certified copy for a bank account or a tax file. Whatever the reason, needing a duplicate FESCO bill is one of the most common electricity tasks in Faisalabad — and it no longer requires a trip to the FESCO office.
FESCO (Faisalabad Electric Supply Company) serves Faisalabad, Jhang, Toba Tek Singh, Sargodha, Mianwali, and Khushab. This guide shows you how to pull a duplicate bill online in under a minute, free.
What You Need: Your Reference Number
A duplicate FESCO bill is generated from your reference number — a 14-digit number printed near the top of every FESCO bill, labelled "Reference No." It is the same on every bill for your connection.
If you have at least one old bill, the number is on it. If you have none at all, retrieve it from FESCO's helpline (118) or from a neighbour on the same meter batch, since reference numbers in an area often run in sequence. Once you have it, save it somewhere permanent so you never have to search again.
Step-by-Step: Download Your Duplicate FESCO Bill
Step 1: Open the FESCO bill tool.
Step 2: Enter your 14-digit reference number in the field.
Step 3: Submit. The current bill loads on screen within seconds, showing units, amount due, issue date, and due date.
Step 4: Download the bill as a PDF using the download option, or print it directly from your browser.
That downloaded PDF is a valid duplicate of your official FESCO bill. There is no account to create and no charge.
If the site does not load: some networks in Pakistan filter it. Turn on any free VPN — Proton VPN or Windscribe — and the page opens instantly.
Is the Downloaded Duplicate Officially Valid?
Yes. The bill produced online is drawn directly from FESCO's billing records — the same data FESCO holds. For tax filing, tenancy documentation, bank account opening, or any official purpose that requires a copy of your electricity bill, the downloaded PDF serves as a valid duplicate. You can print as many copies as you need.
Retrieving Older FESCO Bills
Sometimes you need not this month's bill but a previous month's — for a tax record covering a specific period, or to compare usage over time. After entering your reference number, many DISCO tools expose recent billing history alongside the current bill, letting you step back through earlier months and download those as duplicates too. For tenants and landlords, saving each month's PDF as it is issued builds a clean record that prevents any later dispute over payments.
Troubleshooting a Failed Download
If the bill will not appear: recount your reference number — a single wrong digit returns nothing, and it must be exactly 14 digits. If the page itself will not load rather than returning "not found," that is a connectivity issue and a VPN resolves it. If the number is correct and the connection is not brand new, confirm with FESCO on 118 that your reference number is active.
The Short Version
To download a duplicate FESCO bill, enter your 14-digit reference number on the FESCO bill tool, then save it as a PDF or print it — free, no login, valid as an official duplicate. A blank result is almost always a mistyped digit. If the site will not open, use a VPN. For other regions, the electricity hub covers all DISCOs, and gas bills work the same way.
