Post Office facility to pay electricity bills has been officially discontinued across Pakistan. Customers can no longer use post offices for LESCO bill payments.
According to LESCO officials, this decision has been taken to improve consumer convenience and enhance the overall billing system. The move aims to reduce delays and ensure faster, more efficient processing of payments.
Recently, LESCO reported a record increase in faulty meters, which has caused consumers to receive higher average bills. Officials said discontinuing Post Office payments will help streamline the process and prevent further complications.
Consumers are advised to adopt alternative payment methods for timely bill settlement. QR codes, authorized banks, and digital payment channels are now recommended. These options are expected to reduce inconvenience for the public.
The LESCO spokesperson emphasized that while the Post Office service has ended, modern digital and bank-based solutions are easier and more secure. Customers are encouraged to use these channels to avoid late payment penalties.
Authorities also highlighted that adopting these alternative methods will improve overall transparency. It will ensure that billing is accurate and that consumers are charged fairly.
For smooth transactions, LESCO has provided step-by-step guidance on its website and mobile applications. Customers are urged to follow the instructions carefully to ensure payments are received on time.
This development marks a significant change in how electricity bills are paid in Pakistan. While the Post Office has historically served as a convenient payment point, digitalization is becoming the preferred method.
