Base estimate includes energy + fixed charges + 18% GST. Actual bill may add monthly FCA (Rs 2.8–4.2/unit) and NJ surcharge.
PESCO follows NEPRA's progressive tariff slabs. Your bill includes energy charges (based on consumption slab), fixed charges (Rs 200/300/400), 18% GST, Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA), Neelum-Jhelum surcharge, and TV license fee. PESCO's FCA can be higher in winter due to increased hydel generation mix changes.
