About Electricity Bill

An electricity bill is a monthly statement issued by your electricity provider that shows the amount payable for the electricity consumed during a billing cycle. It contains important details such as your consumer number, billing period, meter readings, units consumed, due date, tariff, taxes, and the total payable amount.


Paying your electricity bill on time helps you avoid late payment charges and ensures uninterrupted power supply. Today, online bill payment services make it easy to pay electricity bills anytime without visiting electricity offices.
