The facility to pay electricity bills through Pakistan Post has officially been discontinued, a decision that is expected to particularly impact customers of Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO).
The decision has been taken as part of broader efforts to modernize and streamline the billing system.
The development inicates a notable change in routine. Pakistan Post had long served as a convenient payment point for citizens who preferred over-the-counter transactions.
The delivery of electricity bills will continue as usual, and customers will receive their monthly statements within the prescribed timelines. The change applies strictly to the payment collection mechanism.
In this sense, the LESCO representatives have focuse on that this transition is part of a larger modernization strategy aimed at improving service efficiency.
They have reassured consumers that the discontinuation of Pakistan Post as a payment collection channel will not disrupt the operational framework of the electricity distribution system.
Meanwhile, officials have urged citizens to remain vigilant about payment deadlines. So far, timely bill payments, they noted, are essential to avoid late payment surcharges or additional penalties.
The move signals a shift toward digital transformation in public utility management, questions remain regarding how quickly consumers particularly those less familiar with online systems will adapt to the change.
