Visit your subdivision office during working hours (8 AM - 2 PM). Submit form with all documents. Pay application fee (Rs. 500 domestic, Rs. 1000 commercial, Rs. 2000 industrial).
FESCO lineman will visit your location within 7-10 days to verify the site, check transformer availability, and assess wiring requirements. Be present during inspection.
Pro Tip: Ensure your internal wiring is complete before inspection. FESCO won't connect without proper wiring.

Within 7-14 days of payment, FESCO will install your meter. They'll provide a reference number and first bill. Verify meter reading is zero at installation.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Applying without complete property documents
Get your property papers in order first. Visit Tehsil office for Fard if needed.
Underestimating load requirement
Always apply for slightly more load than current needs. Upgrading later costs more than initial higher load.
Not getting internal wiring done before application
FESCO requires complete wiring for inspection. Hire a licensed electrician to wire your premises first.
Paying to unauthorized agents
Only pay at FESCO office or designated banks. Get official receipts for every payment.
