MEPCO Installment Plan for Electricity Bills

The Multan Electric Power Company (MEPCO) offers a structured installment plan for consumers who may face difficulties in paying their electricity bills. This plan allows consumers to extend the due date for bill payment and provides options for paying bills in installments based on the amount owed. Below, we detail the key aspects of this plan as outlined by MEPCO.

MEPCO allows consumers to extend the due date for bill payment based on the amount of the bill and the authority of the officer handling the case. The extension limits are as follows:

• SDO/AM(O) and RO/AM(CS): Can grant a maximum of 3 days extension for bills up to Rs. 50,000.
• XEN/DM(O): Can grant a maximum of 3 days extension for bills up to Rs. 200,000.
• SE/Manager (O): Can grant a maximum of 5 days extension for bills up to Rs. 500,000.
• Director Commercial: Can grant a maximum of 5 days extension for bills up to Rs. 1,000,000.
• CSD: Can grant a maximum of 8 days extension for bills up to Rs. 20 Million.
• CEO: Has the authority to grant a maximum of 10 days extension for bills of any amount.

It’s important to note that no Late Payment Surcharge (LPS) will be imposed if the due date is extended within these limits.

MEPCO also offers installment options to spread the payment of electricity bills over several months, based on the bill amount:

• Bills up to Rs. 50,000: Can be paid in 3 monthly installments.
• Bills up to Rs. 200,000: Can be paid in 3 monthly installments.
• Bills up to Rs. 500,000: Can be paid in 4 monthly installments.
• Bills up to Rs. 1,000,000: Can be paid in 5 monthly installments.
• Bills up to Rs. 20 Million: Can be paid in 12 monthly installments.
• Bills of any amount (CEO discretion): Full powers are granted to the CEO to allow installments as deemed appropriate.

• Extended Flexibility: MEPCO provides significant flexibility for consumers who need more time to pay their bills or who need to break up payments into instalments.
• No Late Fees: By extending the due date within the allowable limits, consumers can avoid late payment surcharges.
• Authority Levels: The ability to extend due dates and offer instalment plans depends on the officer’s rank, with higher-ranked officers having the power to approve larger extensions and longer instalment periods.

This structured approach by MEPCO ensures that consumers have manageable options to deal with large electricity bills, contributing to financial ease during challenging times.
