Electric Inspector Punjab Contact Numbers 2026: All 8 Regions for LESCO, GEPCO, FESCO, IESCO and MEPCO Bill Complaints (Full List)

Punjab has eight Electric Inspector offices that hear electricity bill and meter disputes against LESCO, GEPCO, FESCO, IESCO and MEPCO, and the Energy Department lists each one's phone number and address on its Electricity Billing Complaints page. Lahore Region-I is 042-99250191, Gujranwala 055-9330515, Islamabad 051-9255899, Faisalabad 041-9200551 and Multan 061-6771499. The full list is below.

Most people go to the Electric Inspector after the power company has refused to correct a bill. The office is the provincial body for this, separate from the company. The NEPRA Act lets a province give the powers of a Provincial Office of Inspection, or POI, to its Electric Inspectors, and a POI decision can be appealed to NEPRA.

All eight Electric Inspector offices in Punjab

Each office covers a set of districts and the matching circles of one power company. Find your district, then use that office's number and address. The Energy Department page lists all eight with the officer in charge.

Two pairs of offices share one officer, according to the page: Faisalabad and Sargodha, and Multan and Bahawalpur. The offices still have separate addresses and phone numbers.

The office addresses, region by region

Several offices sit in ordinary houses rather than government blocks, so the exact address matters. These are the addresses the Energy Department gives.

The Energy Department itself is on the 8th floor of EFU House, Jail Road, Lahore. That is the head office, not a complaint counter.

The Electric Inspector decides metering and billing disputes

The Energy Department says Electric Inspectors deal with billing disputes under the Electricity Act 1910 and the NEPRA Act 1997, covering metering, billing and collection. Typical cases are a detection bill, a slow or fast meter, wrong arrears, or a disputed supplementary bill.

The same offices handle electrical contractor licences and supervisor competency certificates through Punjab's licensing boards. The department also lists an SOP for Electric Inspectors on net metering, which matters for solar users in a dispute over exported units.

The full appeal path, including asking for a meter test in front of you and the appeal to NEPRA, is set out in appealing a wrong bill to the Provincial Office of Inspection. For detection bills specifically, see how to dispute a detection bill.

File with the power company first, then the Electric Inspector

Start with the company, because a written complaint and its reply are your evidence. If the company does not fix it, take the papers to the Electric Inspector for your region. The Energy Department also links an online Electricity Billing Complaint portal.

1. Complain to your company in writing and keep the complaint number and any reply.
2. Gather the disputed bill, two or three earlier bills, payment receipts and meter photos.
3. Call the Electric Inspector for your region to ask about filing and any fee.
4. File in person at the office, or through the portal linked on the Energy Department page.
5. Keep paying undisputed amounts so your supply is not cut while the case runs.

The online portal sits at ebcp-energy.punjab.gov.pk. It did not open from our location on 28 October 2026, so we cannot describe its form. If it fails for you too, the phone numbers above are the fallback. Your company's own complaint channels are in LESCO bill check, IESCO's complaint numbers and MEPCO's complaint numbers.

Deadlines start running from the company's bill

NEPRA's consumer rules set short windows for some complaints, such as a wrong meter reading. Missing them weakens your case, so act within days of the bill. The current windows are collected in electricity bill complaint deadlines.

Common questions

What is the Electric Inspector Lahore phone number?

Lahore Region-I is 042-99250191 and Lahore Region-II is 042-99333968. Region-I covers northern Lahore, and Region-II southern Lahore.

Which Electric Inspector covers Rawalpindi and Islamabad?

The Islamabad Region office on Park Road, 051-9255899, covers Islamabad, Rawalpindi, Attock, Chakwal and Jhelum, which is all of IESCO's area.

Can I go to the Electric Inspector before complaining to LESCO or MEPCO?

Complain to the company first and keep its reply. The Electric Inspector then has a clear record of what was refused.

Is the Electric Inspector the same as the POI?

In practice, yes. The NEPRA Act lets provinces give POI powers to Electric Inspectors, and Punjab says its inspectors decide billing disputes under that Act.

Does the Electric Inspector cover K-Electric?

No. These eight offices cover Punjab and Islamabad. Karachi is in Sindh, which has its own inspectorate.
