Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has officially announced a LESCO bill payment deadline extension for April 2025 bills. The extension comes in light of the recent India-Pakistan tensions, which disrupted daily life, affected local businesses, and caused delays in essential payments including utility bills.
LESCO Bill Payment Deadline Extension — New Dates Announced
To accommodate consumers affected by the crisis, LESCO extended due dates for electricity bills issued between April 23 and April 30, 2025. Here’s a breakdown of the revised deadlines:
- Bills issued between April 23 and April 26 can now be paid by May 15, 2025
- Bills issued between April 28 and April 30 will now be due by May 16, 2025
This lesco bill payment deadline extension ensures that consumers won’t incur any late payment surcharges, offering much-needed financial relief during an already stressful period.
LESCO has urged consumers to make use of this extension and ensure timely payments within the revised dates to avoid penalties. The utility provider emphasized that this step was taken to support households facing temporary cash flow issues due to regional instability.
Additional Relief: Rs3.64 Per Unit Cut in K-Electric Bills
In another positive development for electricity users, NEPRA (National Electric Power Regulatory Authority) has approved a fuel charge adjustment (FCA) for K-Electric consumers for February 2025, leading to a Rs3.64 per unit reduction in May 2025 electricity bills.
This FCA is part of NEPRA’s revised tariff adjustment mechanism introduced in July 2023, which aims to balance power generation costs without transferring undue burden onto consumers. The adjustment also includes a provisional Rs3 billion allocation to support operational needs of the power sector, which will be offset by negative fuel adjustments, meaning no future financial impact on end-users.
Together, the LESCO bill payment deadline extension and NEPRA’s FCA reduction for K-Electric customers signal a pro-consumer shift in Pakistan’s energy sector. These measures bring some economic relief to citizens already battling high energy costs, inflation, and political uncertainty.
