K-Electric, Karachi’s main power provider, has extended the payment deadlines for electricity bills from July and August. Consumers now have until August 17 to pay their July bills and until September 17 for their August bills.
This extension comes after Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif directed the Power Division to provide relief amid rising electricity costs. The new deadlines also allow for adjustments on late payment surcharges, which will be applied to next month’s bill.
