LESCO Billing Schedule November 2026: Meter Reading and Bill Due Date for All 22 Batches in Lahore

LESCO, the Lahore Electric Supply Company, posts a "Billing Programme" for every billing cycle on its website. The November 2026 file was issued on 3 November 2026 and covers 22 batches. We downloaded it on 9 November 2026 and copied every row. It also marks 9 November, Iqbal Day, as a holiday, so no reading or printing is planned on that date.

Your batch is the first box of your LESCO reference number

Your batch is the two-digit number that starts your LESCO reference number. LESCO's own online bill page asks for the reference number in three boxes: a 2-digit batch number, a 5-digit sub-division code and the rest of the reference number.

So a bill that starts 05 then a sub-division code belongs to batch 05. If you do not have a bill to hand, our LESCO bill check guide shows where the reference number appears and how to view a copy online.

Reading and due dates for every LESCO batch in November 2026

The table gives four of the nine dates in LESCO's file for each batch: meter reading, bill printing, issue of bills, and the due date. Batches are listed in the order LESCO prints them, which is not strictly by number.

Three things the November schedule tells you

The schedule shows when the meter reader should come, how long you have to pay, and which batches are billed late. Most LESCO homes get between 8 and 16 days from the issue date to the due date this month.

• The gap to pay is not the same for everyone. Batch 01 gets 8 days between issue on 12 November and the due date of 20 November. Batch 08 gets 14 days, from 23 November to 7 December.
• Net metering is its own batch. LESCO marks batch 16 as net metering. Solar users in that batch are read on 14 November and pay by 27 November.
• Batches 24 and 41 come last. They are read on 1 December and are due on 21 December. Batch 41 is marked for the Ministry of Defence.

The bill you pay in this cycle also carries the fuel charge NEPRA set for September. Our page on the September fuel charge of Rs 2.3673 a unit in November bills explains that line.

How to use your reading date to check the bill

Your reading date lets you check that the units on the bill match your meter. Note your own reading on that day, then compare it with the "present reading" on the bill when it arrives.

1. Find your batch in the first box of your reference number.
2. Look up your meter reading date in the table above.
3. On that day, take a dated photo of your meter display.
4. When the bill comes, compare the present reading with your photo.
5. If they differ, report it to your sub-division before the due date.

LESCO's file also reminds its staff of the pro rata billing rule in clause 6.1.1.1 of NEPRA's Consumer Service Manual, "to safeguard the consumers interest". Pro rata billing means your units are adjusted to a normal month when the reading gap runs longer than usual, so a late reading should not push you into a higher slab. Our slab rates guide for 2026 shows why that matters.

What to do if your LESCO bill is late or wrong

If your bill does not arrive by the issue date in the table, you can download a copy from LESCO's website with your batch, sub-division and reference number. Wrong readings go to your sub-division or the 118 helpline.

Two quick routes save a trip to the office. You can register for a bill by SMS or email, as our LESCO e-bill registration guide explains. For a reading complaint, LESCO lists the 118 helpline and the 8118 SMS service on its website. Our LESCO complaint number page has the customer service centres too.

If you are in Faisalabad instead, the same kind of table is in our FESCO billing schedule for November 2026.

Common questions

What is the LESCO bill due date for November 2026?

It depends on your batch. Batch 01 is due on 20 November, batch 06 on 27 November, batch 10 on 9 December, and batches 24 and 41 on 21 December.

How do I find my LESCO batch number?

It is the 2-digit number at the start of your reference number. LESCO's online bill page asks for it in a separate "Batch No." box.

When will LESCO read my meter in November 2026?

Batch 01 is read on 7 November and the last batches, 24 and 41, on 1 December. Find your batch in the table above.

Which LESCO batch is for net metering?

Batch 16. LESCO's November file marks it "Net Metering", with reading on 14 November and a due date of 27 November.

Why is there no date on 9 November in the schedule?

LESCO's file marks 9 November 2026 as Iqbal Day, a public holiday, so the schedule skips it.

Where can I download the LESCO billing programme?

On LESCO's website, on the Billing Program page under its Ease of Doing Business section. It lists every month back to 2022.
