Sometimes, people receive electricity bills that exceed their budget or are higher than they can afford in a month. In such situations, the question arises, “Can we pay the electricity bill in installments?” In Pakistan, WAPDA (Water and Power Development Authority) strives to provide the best services to its consumers.

It promises quality services, and offering the option to pay bills in installments is one of the significant steps taken to facilitate its consumers. Keep in mind, every power distribution company has its own installment plans following the policies and regulations set by NEPRA.

The generation of high-cost electricity bills can be attributed to specific reasons that should be addressed to help consumers understand the situation. In the case of MEPCO (Multan Electric Power Company), users may receive MEPCO electricity bills with high charges when the previous bill shows an amount of zero due to system errors. 

It is important to identify and rectify such errors to ensure accurate billing and provide clarity to the consumers. This happens typically when MIS is not responding properly in bill generation, and not all but some people face such problems because of system unresponsiveness.

In such cases, MEPCO allows customers to opt for the installment option to clear their dues. Another reason for high-cost electricity bills may be due to financial constraints faced by consumers, making it difficult for them to pay their bills. 

Additionally, on hot scorching days, there is a possibility of higher electricity consumption due to increased usage of electrical items such as ACs, fans, and coolers to regulate the temperature.
