The Islamabad Electric Supply Company (IESCO) has introduced a QR code-based payment system that lets consumers pay power bills and all kinds of demand notices by scanning the codes printed on those documents.
IESCO CEO Engineer Khalid Mahmood said the facility will make payments quicker and simpler, while encouraging accuracy and openness in collection. It operates around the clock, seven days a week.
Steps to pay using QR codes
To pay, consumers must open their mobile wallet or online banking app and scan the QR code on their original bill or demand notice. They then confirm the amount owed and finish the transaction.
Safety advice on scanning codes
Mahmood advised consumers to scan only QR codes on demand notices and original IESCO bills, and to check payment details before completing any transaction.
