The Lahore Electric Supply Company (LESCO) has imposed a ban on electricity bill installments until further notice in an effort to meet recovery targets set for June.
According to details, LESCO has directed officials to disconnect electricity connections of consumers who fail to pay their current bills or have outstanding dues. Consumers have been instructed to deposit the full amount of their June bills without exception.
Authorities have also been ordered to recover any previous dues reflected in the bills.
Previously, LESCO had allowed consumers to clear their outstanding amounts through installments. However, this facility has now been withdrawn for the month of June to ensure improved revenue collection.
The company stated that due date extensions for bill payments will be granted in accordance with NEPRA regulations. However, if bills remain unpaid even after the extended deadline, the electricity supply will be disconnected.
The orders apply to all residential, commercial, and industrial consumers.
