The consumer ID (or account number) is a shorter code that also identifies your connection. If you have lost every copy of your bill, ask a neighbour on the same feeder, check any old SMS alert from TESCO, or visit your local sub-division office to retrieve the number.

About TESCO – Tribal Areas Electric Supply Company
The Tribal Areas Electric Supply Company (TESCO) is a government-owned distribution company responsible for supplying electricity across the merged tribal districts of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, formerly known as FATA. TESCO builds and maintains the local network of feeders, substations and distribution lines, reads meters, issues monthly bills and collects payments from domestic, commercial and industrial consumers in the region.
Because the tribal belt is remote and was historically under-served, TESCO also plays a development role — extending the grid to villages that never had reliable power and upgrading ageing infrastructure. Like every DISCO in Pakistan, TESCO operates under NEPRA, which sets the tariff and approves the fuel and surcharge adjustments that appear on your bill.
TESCO coverage area – districts and cities
TESCO covers all the merged tribal districts adjacent to the settled areas of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The table below lists the main districts and tribal agencies served by TESCO.
| District / Agency | Notable areas served |
|---|---|
| Khyber | Jamrud, Landi Kotal, Bara |
| Bajaur | Khar and surrounding tehsils |
| Mohmand | Ghallanai and adjacent areas |
| Kurram | Parachinar, Sadda |
| Orakzai | Kalaya and surrounding areas |
| North Waziristan | Miranshah, Mir Ali |
| South Waziristan | Wana, Ladha |
TESCO MIS (Management Information System)
The TESCO MIS, or Management Information System, is the internal billing database that DISCOs use to record every consumer’s meter reading, units consumed, payments and outstanding balance. When you check your TESCO bill online, the portal queries this MIS data against your reference number and returns your current bill. For consumers, the practical takeaway is simple: the reference number is the single key that links you to your record in the TESCO MIS, so keep it safe. If your bill details look wrong, it usually means a data-entry or meter-reading issue in the MIS that your sub-division office can correct.
Understanding your TESCO bill – line by line
A TESCO bill packs a lot of information into a small space. The table below explains the main lines you will see so you know exactly what you are paying for.
| Bill line | What it means |
|---|---|
| Reference No | Your unique 10–14 digit connection identifier |
| Units consumed | Electricity used this month in kWh (present reading minus previous reading) |
| Cost of electricity | Units multiplied by the applicable per-unit tariff slab |
| Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA) | Variable charge reflecting the changing cost of fuel used to generate power |
| TR surcharge | Tariff Rationalization surcharge to keep rates uniform across regions |
| FC surcharge | Finance cost surcharge for financing network upgrades |
| Quarterly Tariff Adjustment (QTR) | Adjustment applied every three months per NEPRA determination |
| GST / taxes | General sales tax and other government levies |
| Arrears / deferred amount | Any unpaid previous balance carried forward |
| Payable within due date | Total to pay on or before the due date |
| Payable after due date | Higher amount with late-payment surcharge added |
TESCO tariff and per-unit rates
TESCO applies the uniform NEPRA-approved tariff used by all DISCOs, so your per-unit rate rises as your monthly consumption moves into higher slabs. The indicative residential slab structure is shown below. Rates change with each NEPRA notification — always confirm the current figures against your latest bill.
| Consumer type | Monthly slab | Rate basis |
|---|---|---|
| Residential (protected) | Up to 100 units | Lowest subsidised slab |
| Residential (protected) | 101–200 units | Second subsidised slab |
| Residential (unprotected) | 1–100 units | Standard slab 1 |
| Residential (unprotected) | 101–300 units | Rising mid slabs |
| Residential (unprotected) | Above 300 units | Highest residential slab |
| Commercial | All units | Commercial tariff + QTR |
| Industrial | All units | Industrial tariff by category |
TESCO peak hours and load-shedding schedule
During peak hours the per-unit rate is higher because demand on the grid is at its highest. Knowing TESCO peak hours helps you shift heavy usage to off-peak times and cut your bill.
| Season | Peak hours | Note |
|---|---|---|
| April to October (summer) | 6:00 pm – 11:00 pm | Higher per-unit rate |
| November to March (winter) | 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm | Higher per-unit rate |
| All other times | Off-peak | Lower per-unit rate |
Load-shedding timing varies by feeder and season and is announced locally; consumers on high-loss or high-theft feeders typically see longer outages, while those with good recovery see fewer.
TESCO bill payment – online and offline methods
Once you have your TESCO bill and reference number, you can pay through several convenient channels. The table below summarises the most common TESCO payment methods.

How to check if your TESCO bill is paid or not
To confirm your TESCO bill payment status, re-check your bill on this page a day after paying — a cleared bill shows no outstanding payable and any arrears line drops to zero. If you subscribed to TESCO’s SMS service you will also receive a confirmation message. When in doubt, keep your bank or wallet transaction receipt as proof and contact TESCO customer service if the status has not updated within a few working days.
TESCO new connection and application tracking
To apply for a new TESCO connection, gather your CNIC copy and proof of ownership or tenancy, obtain and complete the new-connection (application) form from your TESCO sub-division office, submit it with the documents, and pay the security deposit once your application is approved. A TESCO team then inspects the premises, you pay the connection charges, and the meter is installed. You can track the progress of your application through the same sub-division office using your application reference.
TESCO demand notice tracking and fee
After you apply for a new connection, TESCO issues a Demand Notice — a bill for the cost of materials and connection charges you must pay before the meter is installed. Once you pay the demand notice, TESCO verifies your documents, completes the site inspection and connects your supply. Keep the demand notice receipt safe, as it is your proof of payment during the connection process.
TESCO complaint number and helpline
If you face a billing error, power outage or connection issue, you can register a complaint with TESCO through the channels below. Contact numbers can change — confirm the current helpline printed on your latest bill.
| Complaint type | How to reach TESCO |
|---|---|
| Billing error / overbilling | Visit or call your local TESCO sub-division office with your reference number |
| Power outage / fault | Report to the area complaint centre / feeder office |
| Meter problem | Submit a written complaint at the sub-division office |
| New connection query | Contact the TESCO customer services / commercial branch |
| National regulator | Escalate unresolved issues to NEPRA |
How to apply for a TESCO bill correction or adjustment
If you believe you have been overcharged, gather evidence such as previous bills and meter readings, then submit a written adjustment request at your TESCO sub-division office. A representative reviews your claim and inspects the meter reading. If the error is confirmed, TESCO adjusts the amount on your next bill; if the claim is rejected, you are told the reason and the next steps you can take.
How to download the TESCO tax certificate
Commercial and industrial consumers often need a TESCO tax certificate showing the income tax and sales tax deducted through their electricity bills over a financial year, for use in tax filing. Request this certificate from your TESCO sub-division or commercial office by providing your reference number; they issue a consolidated statement of taxes paid for the period you need.
TESCO SMS and email bill service
You can subscribe to TESCO’s SMS alert service to be notified when your bill is generated and when the due date is approaching, which helps you avoid late-payment surcharges and disconnection. To subscribe, contact TESCO customer service and register your mobile number against your reference number. While a formal email bill service is limited in the tribal region, you can always download and save the PDF from this page and email it to yourself for your records.

How to reduce your TESCO bill
Because TESCO uses slab-based tariffs, keeping your monthly units below the next slab threshold can noticeably lower your per-unit rate. Shift heavy appliances such as irons, washing machines and water pumps to off-peak hours, switch to energy-efficient LED lighting and inverter appliances, and unplug devices left on standby. Read your own meter mid-month so a spike never surprises you, and check that your tariff category and protected status on the bill are correct — being wrongly placed in an unprotected slab is a common reason bills look too high. If your units are stable but the rupee amount jumps, look first at the Fuel Price Adjustment line rather than assuming a metering fault.
How to check previous TESCO bills online
The online portal shows your latest issued TESCO bill. To obtain older bills for a specific month, contact your TESCO sub-division office with your reference number and request copies of previous statements — useful when you need a payment history for a tax certificate or a bill dispute.
