How it is worked out
- Energy charges, slab by slab: 100 × Rs 10.54 + 100 × Rs 13.01 = Rs 2,355
- Fixed charges (rate per kW × load): Rs 300 × 2 = Rs 600
- GST: 18% × Rs 2,955 = Rs 532
- Estimated total: Rs 2,355 + Rs 600 + Rs 532 = Rs 3,487
What this means for you
That is about Rs 17 per unit all-in. Protected consumers pay slab by slab: the first 100 units at Rs 10.54 and the next 100 at Rs 13.01, plus Rs 300 per kW of sanctioned load and 18% GST.
Protected status needs 200 units or less in every one of the last six months. Cross it once and that month is billed at unprotected rates: 201 units would cost about Rs 8,677, and you lose protected status for the next six months.
Your actual bill adds the monthly fuel price adjustment (FPA) and any quarterly adjustment printed on it: every Rs 1 per unit of FPA adds about Rs 236 to this bill, and a negative FPA lowers it. LESCO charges the same notified rates as every other distribution company, so the same units cost the same anywhere in Pakistan.
