The Pakistan Post Office has officially stopped accepting payments for electricity bills, LESCO confirmed on Friday. The move aims to improve consumer convenience and streamline the overall billing system.
LESCO stated that consumers should now use alternative authorized payment channels for their electricity bills. These include bank branches, QR code payments, and other official online methods. Officials emphasized that using these channels will help customers avoid delays and ensure timely payments.
The utility company highlighted that a record increase in faulty meters and rising average bills made it necessary to modernize payment methods. Discontinuing payments at the Pakistan Post Office is part of broader efforts to digitize services and reduce errors.
Consumers were advised to adopt these alternative methods immediately to avoid inconvenience. LESCO assured customers that these channels are safe, reliable, and faster than the traditional post office system.
Officials also stressed the importance of keeping digital receipts or records of payments. This ensures that any discrepancies can be resolved quickly without affecting electricity supply.
The discontinuation of bill payments at the Pakistan Post Office reflects Pakistan’s broader push toward digital and contactless services. Authorities believe this step will help improve efficiency and accuracy in the billing process.
Residents are encouraged to familiarize themselves with the new payment methods and complete transactions on time. LESCO reiterated that delays in using the authorized channels may result in late charges or service interruptions.
