If your Azad Kashmir electricity bill seems high, it helps to understand how the per-unit price works. AJK power is supplied and billed through the AJK Electricity Department (via the PITC billing system), and its tariff is set separately — it is not always identical to the NEPRA uniform schedule used by mainland DISCOs such as LESCO or MEPCO.
How the slab system works
Like the rest of Pakistan, AJK domestic bills use a slab system: the per-unit rate steps up as your monthly units cross thresholds (100, 200, 300 and beyond), and the higher rate applies to the units in the upper slab. Lower-usage "protected" and "lifeline" consumers pay less per unit than higher-usage "unprotected" ones.

Because AJK rates are set through its own arrangement and revised from time to time, we show them here only once verified against the official AJK source — never copied from mainland figures.
AJK is supplied by a government department rather than a NEPRA-licensed distribution company, and its tariff is notified separately from the XWDISCO schedule. We do not reproduce mainland figures here. For the figures in force, see the official source, and why we leave a rate blank rather than estimate it.
What else is on the bill
Beyond the per-unit energy charge, your bill includes a fuel price adjustment, electricity duty, GST and a TV licence fee. These are added on top of the slab rate, so your effective cost changes a little each month.
