PESCO Bill Taxes and Surcharges Explained
Every year, 1 to 5 times, changes are made to your bills, meaning either taxes are increased or decreased. When international market prices for coal and oil rise, oil here also becomes very expensive because it is imported from abroad to Pakistan. As a result, when its price goes up, our bills automatically see a tax increase. Which taxes are affected and by how much is explained below.
Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA/FCA):
This is a tax imposed every two months to cover the burden caused by fluctuations in oil and coal prices.
Tariff Rationalization Surcharge (TR):
This is a government surcharge imposed by the authority to keep electricity rates uniform across the country.
Financing Cost (FC) Surcharge:
A tax of 0.43 rupees per unit has been imposed to cover the burden caused by those who steal electricity and by defaulters.
Quarterly Tariff Adjustment (QTA):
This tax is collected every three months to adjust the dollar value and power plant costs.
Deferred Amount:
This is the amount you have converted into installments and will have to pay in the following months. Whenever customers receive a higher bill and cannot pay it, they go to the official PESCO office and get their bill converted into installments, which they must pay little by little along with each new monthly bill.
