Pakistan Post ends electricity bill collection service, LESCO advises alternative payment methods

LESCO officials say this step is part of efforts to improve operational efficiency and provide better services to electricity consumers

LAHORE: (UrduPoint/UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News-Feb 20^th, 2026) The Pakistan Post has announced the discontinuation of electricity bill collection services, affecting customers who previously used post offices to pay their Lahore Electric Supply Company bills.

The LESCO officials said that this step is part of efforts to improve operational efficiency and provide better services to electricity consumers. The company described the move as an important initiative aimed at modernizing payment systems and ensuring a smoother experience for users.

The electricity consumers are advised to use alternative authorized channels to make timely payments, including QR code-based payments, banks, and other official digital platforms.

LESCO emphasized that switching to these alternative payment methods would help customers avoid any inconvenience or delays in bill settlement.

The utility company also reassured consumers that discontinuing payments through Pakistan Post will not affect the issuance of bills or electricity supply. Customers will continue to receive their bills through existing channels, and LESCO’s digital platforms provide convenient options for payment tracking and confirmation.

The LESCO officials urged consumers to familiarize themselves with available digital tools, noting that these platforms offer real-time bill updates, secure transactions, and customer support. LESCO also highlighted the importance of timely payments to avoid late fees and service interruptions.

This step reflects a broader move toward digitalization in Pakistan’s utility sector, aimed at enhancing efficiency, transparency, and convenience for electricity users across the province. By adopting modern payment methods, LESCO aims to reduce reliance on manual systems and improve overall customer experience.

The consumers are encouraged to plan ahead and use the recommended channels for bill payment to ensure uninterrupted services. The company reaffirmed its commitment to providing reliable electricity supply while promoting streamlined and user-friendly payment options.
