Understanding IESCO Bill: Tax and Surcharges

Check out the below detail of each type of tax and the reason for their implementation in your electricity bill:
Electricity Duty
Electricity Duty is charged in IESCO electricity bill to generate revenue for the government to run different infrastructure projects, public welfare programs, and health. The government of Pakistan has set the ED charges to be 1.5& of the total electricity units consumed in a month.
TV License Fee
TV fee is fixed to be Rs. 35 per TV set for domestic users and Rs. 60 for industrial connections.
FPA

TR Surcharge
TR Surcharge refers to the ‘Tariff Rationalization’ cost determined by the difference in the NEPRA and Government of Pakistan tariff rates.
