How to Pay MEPCO Bill at Bank or Franchise After Due Date
Can You Pay MEPCO Bill After the Due Date?
Yes. You can pay your MEPCO electricity bill after the due date, but an additional Late Payment Surcharge (LPS) of approximately 4% is added to the bill amount. The surcharge amount is pre-calculated and printed on your bill as "PAYABLE AFTER DUE DATE".
How to Pay MEPCO Bill at Bank After Due Date
- Take your original MEPCO bill to any bank accepting utility bill payments
- Inform the teller you are paying after the due date
- The bank will charge you the "Payable After Due Date" amount (not the original amount)

How Long After Due Date Can You Pay at Bank?

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q: What is the late payment surcharge on MEPCO bill?
A: The Late Payment Surcharge (LPS) is approximately 4% of the bill amount, added after the due date. The exact amount after-due-date is printed on your bill.
Q: Can I pay MEPCO bill 2 months late?
A: Yes, but both months' bills will have LPS applied. If you have two unpaid bills, you must pay both to avoid disconnection. Visit the MEPCO Sub-Division office for bills older than 30 days.
Q: Do I need to bring the original bill to the bank?
A: Most banks accept payment with just your Consumer ID or Reference Number. However, bringing the original bill speeds up the process and ensures the correct amount is charged.
