Ownership / Premises Proof
Attested copy of property deed (Registry, Fard Malkiyat, Allotment Letter, or legal Rent Agreement with landlord CNIC).
CNIC & Witness Identification
Attested CNIC copy of applicant, plus copy of CNIC for two witnesses residing in the same sub-divisional area.
Neighbor's LESCO Bill Copy

2. Connection Categories & Sanctioned Load
LESCO classifies new connections into load categories established by NEPRA:
- Category 1 (Up to 15 kW): Standard domestic residential connections (Single-Phase up to 5 kW, 3-Phase up to 15 kW). Processed at local SDO level. Learn how rates apply in our LESCO Tariff Slabs Guide.
- Category 2 (16 kW to 70 kW): Large residential mansions, commercial shops, or small offices. Processed by Executive Engineer (XEN).
- Category 3 (71 kW to 500 kW): Industrial factories, plazas, and bulk supply. Processed at Superintending Engineer (SE) circle level.
3. Demand Notice Issuance & Payment
Once your online application is submitted, print out the application form, attach physical document copies, and submit them to your local SDO office. A LESCO survey officer will inspect your site to assess transformer proximity and service line distance.
After site approval, LESCO issues a Demand Notice containing security deposits, meter equipment costs, and service drop cable fees. Pay the Demand Notice at any authorized bank branch. Keep the stamped bank receipt safe, as it serves as proof of payment during final meter installation.
