K-Electric vs DISCO bills — what's different
K-Electric is Pakistan's only privatised electricity utility. Everywhere else in the country, bills flow through PITC and use a 14-digit reference number. K-Electric runs its own IT stack, its own tariff (which NEPRA approves separately), and its own 13-digit account numbering. That's why we keep it on a dedicated page: the reference format, portal and helpline all differ from MEPCO or LESCO.
The KE tariff mirrors the national inclining-block structure (1-100, 101-200, 201-300, 301-400, 401-500, 501-600, 601-700 and above 700), plus monthly Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA), Quarterly Tariff Adjustments (QTA), 1.5% Electricity Duty, 18% GST, Rs. 35 PTV fee for domestic connections, and 7.5% income tax on any bill above Rs. 25,000. If you want a quick estimate of what your next bill will look like, our electricity bill calculator handles KE consumers as well.
Understanding your K-Electric bill line by line
Since August 2025, K-Electric has redesigned the bill layout to make it more readable. Here's what each block on the new bill means:
- Account particulars — 13-digit account number, name, address, tariff category (A1 residential, A2 commercial, B industrial, etc.), sanctioned load in kW, meter serial number.
- Consumption block — Previous Reading, Current Reading, Units (kWh) Consumed, Number of Days in the billing cycle, and a bar chart comparing this month to the previous 6 months.
- Electricity Charges & Taxes Breakdown — slab-wise energy cost, FCA, QTA, financing cost surcharge, GST, income tax, electricity duty, TV fee, meter rent. Each row is now labelled clearly rather than lumped into "Others".
- Current & Outstanding Dues — the current month plus any arrears from previous unpaid bills. Pay the full outstanding amount to avoid disconnection.
- Payable within & after due date — miss the due date and a Late Payment Surcharge (LPS) of ~10% is added. Miss two cycles and disconnection follows.
The QR code at the bottom of the bill can be scanned by any bank app or JazzCash/Easypaisa to auto-fill the account number and amount — no typing required.
Where to find your K-Electric account number
- Any past bill — printed at the very top of the bill next to "Account No" (13 digits, no dashes).
- KE Live app — after registering with your CNIC and phone number, the app shows every account linked to your CNIC.
- SMS 8119 — send your CNIC to 8119 from your registered mobile; KE replies with your account number.
- KE helpline 118 — call from any phone; keep your CNIC and address ready.
- KE Customer Care Centre — walk in with your CNIC and property document; they print a bill and account slip on the spot.

K-Electric load-shedding, complaints and support
K-Electric's exempt / partially exempt / non-exempt feeder classification determines how many hours of load-shedding your area gets. Bills carry a footer note listing your feeder's status. To check live load-shed status for your feeder use the KE Live app or the load-shed page on ke.com.pk.
- Power outage complaint — dial 118, WhatsApp 0311-1118118, or use the "Report a Fault" section in KE Live.
- Billing dispute — visit any KE Business Centre with the disputed bill and photos of the meter. Provisional bills are issued while disputes are open.
- Meter change request — apply through KE Live or a Business Centre; digital meter replacement is free if the existing meter is faulty.
- New connection or load extension — apply via the New Connections portal on ke.com.pk; site inspection takes 7-15 days.
About K-Electric
K-Electric Limited (formerly Karachi Electric Supply Corporation, KESC) is the sole vertically-integrated electric utility supplying Karachi and adjoining areas of Sindh and Balochistan — a footprint of over 6,500 square kilometres and more than 3.5 million customers. It was privatised in 2005 and is currently majority-owned by AsiaPak Investments Ltd through KES Power.
Unlike the 10 government-owned DISCOs which only distribute power procured from CPPA-G, K-Electric generates roughly a third of its own electricity (Bin Qasim I & II, Korangi CCPP, plus wind and solar) and buys the rest from the national grid. That's why KE's tariff and load-shed schedule are independent of the rest of the country — and why national announcements about tariff cuts often exclude Karachi.
