How to Download Duplicate Electricity Bill as PDF
Go to your DISCO's bill check portal (e.g., bill.lesco.gov.pk), enter your 14-digit reference number, and look for a "Download" or "Print" button on the results page. Save or print the PDF duplicate bill directly from your browser.
When You Need a Duplicate Electricity Bill
Several situations require a physical or digital copy of your electricity bill: the original was lost or damaged, you need proof of address (electricity bills are accepted by NADRA, banks, and educational institutions), you're filing a complaint and need the bill as evidence, your landlord needs billing records, or you simply want to maintain digital records of your expenses.
The good news: every DISCO in Pakistan lets you view and print or download your current (and often previous) bills through their online portal. No office visit required.
Step-by-Step: Downloading Your Duplicate Bill
- Open your DISCO's bill portal in a browser (see table below for URLs).
- Enter your 14-digit reference number (10-digit for K-Electric).
- Click Submit to load your bill details.
- Look for a "Print," "Download," or "PDF" button on the results page. The exact label varies by DISCO.
- Click it. Your browser will either download a PDF file or open a print-friendly version of the bill.
- Save the PDF to your device or use your browser's Print → Save as PDF option.

Downloading Previous Months' Bills
Most DISCO portals default to showing the latest bill. To access previous months:
- K-Electric: The portal and app show billing history for the last 12 months. Each previous bill can be downloaded individually.
- LESCO, IESCO: Some portal versions include a "History" or "Previous Bills" option after entering your reference number. Try clicking through the results page.
- Other DISCOs: If the portal only shows the current bill, you may need to visit the DISCO's customer service office to request archived bills, or check if their mobile app has historical data.
If you need bills older than 12 months for legal or tax purposes, a visit to the DISCO office with your CNIC is usually required. They can print archived bills from their internal system.

Using Duplicate Bills as Proof of Address
Electricity bills are widely accepted as proof of address in Pakistan. Banks, NADRA, educational institutions, passport offices, and even some employers accept recent electricity bills as address verification. For this purpose:
- The bill must be recent — typically within the last 3 months
- The name on the bill should match the applicant's CNIC (or be a direct family member's name)
- A printed copy from the DISCO portal is generally accepted, but some institutions may require the original physical bill
- If the connection is in someone else's name (landlord, parent), you may need an affidavit or NOC alongside the bill
Troubleshooting Download Problems
- No download button visible. Try a different browser. Some DISCO portals work better on Chrome than on mobile default browsers. Also try the desktop version of the site on your phone.
- Bill loads but won't download. Use your browser's built-in print function (Ctrl+P or ⌘+P) and select "Save as PDF" as the printer. This creates a PDF of whatever is on screen.
- Portal shows old bill, not current. The new bill may not be generated yet — check back in a few days. Bills are typically uploaded 15-20 days before the due date.
- Downloaded bill is blurry. Zoom in before printing. If saving via "Print → PDF," choose a higher quality setting. The original portal data is clear; blurriness comes from low-quality PDF conversion.
Duplicate Bill Download — Your Questions
Yes. Visit your DISCO's bill portal, enter your reference number, and use the Print or Download button on the results page. All major DISCOs support this — LESCO, MEPCO, FESCO, IESCO, K-Electric, and others.
Generally yes. Most banks, NADRA offices, and institutions accept printed copies of electricity bills as address proof, provided the bill is recent (within 3 months) and the name or address matches your records.
Some DISCOs (notably K-Electric, LESCO, and IESCO) provide billing history for the last 6-12 months on their portal or app. For older bills, visit your DISCO's customer service office with your CNIC.
Use your browser's print function (Ctrl+P) and select "Save as PDF" as the destination. This works regardless of whether the DISCO portal has a dedicated download button, converting the on-screen bill to a PDF file.
