LESCO Bill Installment – Pay Your Bill in Easy Monthly Installments
As a field officer at Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO), I meet many customers who struggle to pay their full electricity bills due to financial pressure. Many of them ask me: “Can I pay my LESCO bill in installments?”
The answer is: Yes, LESCO offers bill installment options—but only under certain rules. In this blog, I’ll explain everything you need to know in simple language, based on real procedures we follow in the field.
What Is a LESCO Bill Installment?
A bill installment means dividing your LESCO electricity bill into smaller, monthly parts. Instead of paying the full bill in one go, you can request to pay it in 2, 3, or even up to 12 parts, depending on your bill amount and approval level.
This facility is useful when:
- You receive a very high bill
- You’re facing a financial crisis
Your electricity was disconnected and you need to pay arrears to reconnect
Who Can Apply for LESCO Installments?
Any LESCO customer—domestic, commercial, or industrial—can request installments if:
- You have not used this facility recently
- You have a valid reason (job loss, illness, emergency, etc.)
- Your previous bills were paid on time
⚠️ Note: Installments are not a right; they are approved on case-by-case basis by competent officers.
Where to Apply for Installments?
Visit your nearest LESCO office with:
- Your latest electricity bill
- Copy of CNIC
- Any document that supports your reason (medical bills, salary slip, etc.)
You will need to fill out a bill installment request form, which you can get from the front desk.

Field Officer’s Advice
As someone who works in the field, I’ve seen both sides: LESCO’s duty to recover dues and the customer’s genuine financial struggles. If you really can’t pay the full amount, don’t wait—visit your local LESCO office early, talk to your SDO or customer service officer, and request a payment plan.
LESCO teams are more cooperative with polite, respectful, and honest customers. And always remember to take a receiving copy of your application for follow-up.
