How This Will Reduce Overbilling and Complaints
Over the years, thousands of people in Pakistan have complained about fake or extra electricity charges. The main reason is wrong readings taken by electricity company staff. Now with this new system:
- Users can check and submit their reading themselves.
- No one can change your reading.
- You get the exact bill according to your usage.
- This builds trust and ends fights between consumers and companies.
What Happens If You Don’t Submit a Reading?
If you don’t submit your meter reading before the deadline:
-
Your DISCO (e.g., LESCO, FESCO, etc.) will send their staff to manually record your meter reading.
-
You may receive an estimated bill, which can often be higher than your actual usage.
-
This may lead to overbilling or inaccurate charges on your electricity bill.
-
Always try to submit your reading on time to ensure fair and accurate billing.
Reminder: Submitting your own reading through the power smart app is quick, easy, and helps you avoid extra charges!
