How to Get K-Electric Duplicate Bill on WhatsApp, SMS and Email
This is a frustrating barrier if you lose physical copies of utility bills or postal deliveries are delayed right when payment due dates are approaching. Thankfully, for those living in Karachi and the surrounding areas serviced by K-Electric (KE), keeping track of paper-based bills is now a thing of the past. K-Electric, Pakistan’s leading vertically integrated power utility, has launched a suite of highly efficient digital service channels, to bring convenience right to your fingertips – on your smartphone and computer.
Essential Pre-requisites: Locating Your Credentials
Before you try to get your bill using any method you must find the special identification numbers that belong only to your electricity account. K-Electric uses two identifiers in its automated systems. Keeping these identification numbers ready will make the bill retrieval quick and free of mistakes.
13-Digit Account Number
This is your primary billing identity. It is a 13-digit numerical code unique to your physical premises. You can find this prominently printed at the top-right or top-left corner of any previous paper bill. Digital channels primarily utilize this 13-digit number to fetch duplicate bills.
