How e-billing revolutionized the billing system
The manual outdated method of paying utility bills has caused nothing but inconvenience to the masses. It was a huge nuisance for people to stand in queues no matter how severe the weather. Further, it consumed a huge chunk of time which one could have used productively. Even after the introduction of e-billing, it wasn’t trusted widely, given the fact that it was initially unreliable and slow. Plus, people were also somewhat consumed by the fear of the unknown. But now, e-billing is accepted throughout the country — not to mention that it is more secure and faster than ever.
What is SEPCO?
SEPCO or Sukkur Electric Power Company is a relatively newer electricity distributing company that facilitates three operational circles — Larkana, Sukkur, and Daddu. These circles cover the district of districts of Sukkur, Khairpur, Ghotki, some portion of Rahimyar Khan district, Kashmore / Kandhkot, Jacobabad, Larkana, Shikarpur, Kamber / Shahdadkot, Jamshoro, Dadu, and portions of Shaheed Benazirabad district.
These areas were once under the jurisdiction of HESCO (Hyderabad Electric Power Company) but later were distributed to SEPCO after the bifurcation. SEPCO filed an application to NEPRA back in 2010 and was awarded the distribution license within a year, in 2011. Since then, it has been providing thousands of consumers with secure and reliable energy.
Components of SEPCO online Bill
Most of us overlook the components of our utility bills except the due date and the payable amount. As a result, in case of billing errors, you are overcharged for additional power. You might not know how many times your carelessness has caused you these surcharges. To eliminate the probability of overpaying, you must know how to calculate the electricity cost yourself. Plus, some of these components will also help you retrieve your duplicate bill online.
1. Identifiers
To keep identification unique among millions of consumers many unique codes are utilized other than name and address. That’s because one’s name can repeat but a reference number or the consumer ID cannot. Let’s have a closer look at what these codes represent.
- Reference number: A digitally-generated unique code assigned to one’s electric connection. It is based on 14 digits with an additional alphabet in the end — “R” representing rural areas while “U” Urban areas. Later in this article, we are going to use this code to extract the online duplicate of your bill.
- Consumer ID: A code necessary to identify the consumer. Take it as your digital name.This may not exist on the WASA utility bills, for which account number is suffice for the identification.
- Meter connection: A unique set of six figures assigned to your meter connection.
2. Essential dates
These might be the only things you already know. But let’s take another look again:
- Connection date: When your electricity channel was set up or approved by the service provider.
- Bill Month: The invoice for the respective month.
- Reading date: Representing when your meter reader took the readings. Usually, it is on the 15th of every month but not necessarily.
- Issue date: The date at which your service provider issued your utility bill.
- Due date: Date before which you must satisfy the dues, otherwise you will be charged with a delay fee.
3. Billing History
Here the units consumed for every month are represented to help you keep track. For instance, you can correlate these stats and construct a strategy to lower the overall electric consumption. Many consumers have claimed that billing history has helped them get a bigger picture of their electricity usage for the whole year. Another column represents the total cost paid against those units. The cost may fluctuate given the fact that the government often changes the rates of per unit power consumed. Lastly, the zero you witness in the rows represents canceled connections or unpaid dues.
4. Total Charges
More than half of your invoice is dedicated to the calculation of your electricity charges. The process starts with meter reading taking the readings manually. The current month’s units are then subtracted from the previous month’s value to get the total figure. Next, electricity cost per unit charges is estimated and various goods and services charges are added to generate the final payable amount. We’d recommend you to recheck the units by subtracting the values yourself for error detection.
5. Complaint and Contact Information
In the end, a small portion represents the contact information of the service provider. The consumers can reach the provider out in case of any electric channel malfunction, power disconnection, or even meter failure. Moreover, the company has also advised its consumers to notify them of any electricity theft using the contact information indicated by the red box below.
The above discussed components are similar for other electricity bills as well such as MEPCO, IESCO electricity bill and numerous others.
