FESCO Introduces QR Code Payment Facility for Electricity Bills

The Faisalabad Electric Supply Company (FESCO) has launched a QR code payment facility for electricity bills, allowing consumers to make payments through their banking apps or mobile wallets. The service was developed in collaboration with the Power Information Technology Company (PITC) and aims to simplify the bill payment process.

According to FESCO Chief Executive Engineer Abid Rasheed, the initiative will make payments faster and more convenient. Consumers will receive instant payment confirmation after completing the transaction. The facility is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, enabling payments outside regular banking hours.

To use the service, consumers need to open their banking app or mobile wallet, scan the QR code printed on their original electricity bill or demand notice, verify the payable amount, and complete the transaction. This eliminates the need to visit banks or wait in queues.

Rasheed advised consumers to scan QR codes only from their original bills or demand notices and to verify the amount before making payments. For assistance, consumers can contact the FESCO helpline at 118.

The move is part of a broader push to digitize utility payments in Pakistan, offering greater convenience and efficiency for consumers.
