Where Is the 14-Digit Reference Number on Your Bill?

One unique number unlocks bill view for every Pakistani DISCO — FESCO, MEPCO, LESCO, IESCO and more. Here's how to spot it in seconds.

Sample Reference No.

04 1416 1234 5678

Exactly 14 digits — no dashes, no spaces, no letters.

Exact Location on the Bill

On almost every Pakistani electricity bill, the reference number is printed in the top-right corner, just below the DISCO logo and consumer address block. It is labeled "Reference No." or "Ref No.".

DISCO Differences

All DISCOs follow the same 14-digit format, but placement and surrounding labels can differ slightly. The first few digits encode the regional sub-division code; the remaining digits are the consumer ID.

Consumer / Account Number
