Q: <strong><strong>What if I lost my reference number and don't have an old bill?</strong></strong>

Call 118 (LESCO helpline). Tell them your full name, CNIC number, and address. They retrieve your reference number within 2 minutes. Alternatively, visit a customer service center with your CNIC.

Question 1

Is a duplicate bill free?

Accepted Answer

Yes, completely free. LESCO charges nothing for duplicates. Any website or service charging money for a duplicate is scam—avoid it.

Question 2

How many months back can I get a duplicate bill?

Accepted Answer

Usually the last 12 months. The online system shows all bills issued in the previous 12 months. If you need a bill older than 12 months, contact LESCO customer service center.

Question 3

Can I get a duplicate for a previous month bill?

Accepted Answer

Yes. When you enter your reference number, the system shows your latest bill AND older bills (for previous months). Select the month you need and download that duplicate.

Question 4

What if my address on the bill is old or incorrect?

Accepted Answer

Contact LESCO to update your registered address before getting the duplicate. If the address is wrong, the bill won't be accepted as address proof. Call 118 to request an address change.

Question 5

Do I need to print the duplicate, or can I use the digital PDF?

Accepted Answer

Both work. For bank submissions, most accept either printed or PDF copies. Ask the specific institution whether they need a printed hard copy or if a PDF on your phone works.

Question 6

Can I submit a duplicate bill instead of the original?

Accepted Answer

Yes, they're identical. The duplicate is your official bill. You can use it for all purposes where the original is required.

Question 7

What if I lost my reference number and don't have an old bill?

Accepted Answer

Call 118 (LESCO helpline). Tell them your full name, CNIC number, and address. They retrieve your reference number within 2 minutes. Alternatively, visit a customer service center with your CNIC.

Question 8

Can I get a duplicate bill by CNIC or name only?

Accepted Answer

No. LESCO requires your reference number or customer ID. CNIC alone is not accepted. This is for security reasons—your reference number is essential.

Question 9

How long does download take?

Accepted Answer

Instant. Once your bill appears on screen, download is immediate (2-3 seconds).

Question 10

Can I email the duplicate bill to someone else?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Download the PDF and email it to anyone. LESCO doesn't restrict sharing of duplicate bills. Many institutions accept emailed copies.

Question 11

What if the portal shows "bill not found"?

Accepted Answer

Three possible reasons: (1) Wrong reference number entered, (2) Account has no current bill (brand new connection), (3) Portal is temporarily down. Double-check your reference number. If still not found, call 118.

Question 12

Can I get a duplicate for someone else's connection?

Accepted Answer

Only if you have their reference number. The system doesn't require authentication beyond the reference number. For privacy, only get duplicates for accounts you own or are authorized to access.
