What is a KESCO account number and where do I find it
A KESCO account number is the unique identifier KESCO assigns to each electricity connection, and you need it to fetch and pay your bill. It is printed in the top section of your KESCO Kanpur electricity bill, usually labelled “Account No.” or “Consumer No.” Your bill may also show additional identifiers, such as the Sub-Division, ERU and BU (Billing Unit) details, which identify your service area and consumer record. Your Consumer Number is unique to your connection, not your meter number. If you do not have a bill, retrieve it through the Kanpur Electricity Supply Company Limited consumer portal
How to calculate your KESCO electricity bill
For Kanpur electricity consumers, the bill amount is generally determined using the following formula:
Units Consumed × Applicable Tariff + Fixed Charges + FAC + Electricity Duty
For example, if a household consumes 120 units during a billing cycle, the final bill is calculated by applying the relevant tariff slab and then adding fixed charges, fuel adjustment charges (FAC), and electricity duty, wherever applicable. Consumers can also estimate their payable amount using the KESCO Electricity Bill Calculator before making a payment.
How does billing and recharge work for a KESCO prepaid smart meter
KESCO prepaid smart meters use a recharge-based model, where charges are deducted from your prepaid balance as you consume power.
A prepaid meter needs balance in advance, unlike a conventional connection billed after usage. You receive low-balance alerts for your Kanpur electricity use when credit reaches a set level, so you can recharge before supply is disconnected.
- Open the Bajaj Finance app or website and sign in.
- Go to Electricity Bill Payment under Payments and select the KESCO prepaid service.
- Enter your consumer number or meter details and choose the recharge amount.
- Pay using UPI, card, net banking or Bajaj Pay Wallet to complete your KESCO online bill payment.
Keep a buffer balance to avoid a night-time disconnection, and confirm the minimum recharge amount on KESCO’s portal
