Taxes and Charges on AJK Bills

Your AJK bill includes various taxes and surcharges mandated by the government:

1. Fuel Price Adjustment (FPA)

Covers fuel pricing fluctuations of power generating companies. The amount varies based on government notifications and can be positive (added) or negative (deducted from your bill).

2. Tariff Rationalization Surcharge (TR Surcharge)

Covers the tariff difference between government-determined and actual cost of electricity. Ensures tariff uniformity across all electricity distribution entities in Pakistan.

3. Quarterly Tariff Adjustment (QTR)

A quarterly tariff adjustment amount applied every 3 months based on government notifications.

4. Financing Cost Surcharge (FC Surcharge)

A per-unit charge to secure collection of debt servicing of Power Holding Private Limited.

A 17% tax charged on the sale of electricity for infrastructure and public services.

6. TV Fee

A fixed Rs. 35 collected from each electricity consumer for Pakistan Television (PTV), regardless of TV ownership.

7. Neelum Jhelum Surcharge

Additional surcharge to fund the Neelum-Jhelum hydroelectric power project — especially significant for AJK, as the project is located in Neelum Valley.

8. Electricity Duty

An additional 1.5% duty on total consumption charges collected on behalf of the AJK government.

9. Income Tax

Income tax collected on electricity bills on behalf of FBR. Applies to commercial users and domestic consumers above specified thresholds.

AJKED Peak Hours

Peak hours affect consumers with Time-of-Use (TOU) meters. During peak hours, electricity units are charged at higher rates, while off-peak units are billed at lower rates.

AJKED Peak Hours Schedule

  • Peak Hours: 7:00 PM to 11:00 PM daily
  • Off-Peak Hours: All remaining hours outside peak time
  • Peak Rate: Rs 40.35 per kWh
  • Off-Peak Rate: Rs 34.65 per kWh

How to Save During Peak Hours

  • Avoid using ACs, heaters, irons, and washing machines during 7-11 PM
  • Shift heavy-load appliances to off-peak hours (after 11 PM or before 7 PM)
  • Use LED lights instead of traditional bulbs during peak time
  • Charge devices and appliances during off-peak hours
  • AJK's cold winters drive heater usage — use gas heaters or bukharis instead of electric ones during peak hours
  • Shifting loads to off-peak hours can reduce your bill by 20-25%

Net Metering & Solar Energy in AJK

AJKED offers a net metering program that allows consumers to install solar panels and sell excess electricity back to the grid. This is an excellent opportunity for AJK residents to reduce their electricity costs and contribute to clean energy.

How Net Metering Works

  • Install a solar panel system at your home or business
  • Excess electricity generated is fed back into the AJKED grid
  • Your meter runs backward when exporting electricity, reducing your bill
  • AJKED credits you for excess units exported to the grid

How to Apply for Net Metering

  1. Visit ajked.gok.pk/net-metering for official guidelines
  2. Submit an application to your nearest AJKED office with solar system specifications
  3. AJKED will inspect and approve the installation
  4. A bidirectional meter will be installed to track import/export of electricity

AJK receives good sunlight hours, particularly in Mirpur, Bhimber, and Kotli districts, making solar panels a viable investment.

SMS Bill Notification Service

AJKED offers an SMS alert service managed through PITC to keep consumers informed about:

  • New bill generation alerts
  • Due date reminders
  • Payment confirmation
  • Outage notifications in your area

To activate, send SMS to 8334 or contact AJKED customer support at 05822-920141 for assistance.

  6. Meter Installation: Submit payment proof and AJKED installs the meter

Connection Transfer / Name Change

If you've purchased a property with an existing AJKED connection registered under the previous owner's name, you need to apply for a connection transfer. Visit your nearest AJKED office with:

  • Your CNIC and the previous owner's CNIC
  • Property sale deed or transfer letter
  • Latest paid bill
  • Application form for name transfer

Processing Time: 30-45 days depending on location. Remote areas like Neelum Valley may take longer.

DISCO Transition (2030)

The Government of Pakistan is currently working on establishing AJKED as an independent Distribution Company (DISCO) dedicated solely to serving Azad Kashmir, in line with other regions of Pakistan that already have their own DISCOs.

What This Means for Consumers

  • Greater Autonomy: AJK will have its own power distribution entity with independent management
  • Better Service: A dedicated DISCO will focus exclusively on AJK's electricity needs
  • Reduced Dependence: Less reliance on PESCO, IESCO, and GEPCO for electricity procurement
  • Infrastructure Investment: More targeted infrastructure development for AJK's mountainous terrain
  • Target Date: 2030

Until the transition is complete, AJKED continues to operate as a state department under the Government of AJK.

Tips to Reduce Your AJK Electricity Bill

  1. Switch to LED Bulbs: LEDs use up to 80% less energy than traditional bulbs.
  2. Stay Under 100 Units: Keeping consumption below 100 units/month qualifies you for the lowest slab rate.
  3. Reduce Peak Hours Usage: Shift heavy appliance usage to off-peak hours to save 20-25%.
  4. Use Efficient Heating: AJK's cold winters drive up bills — use gas or wood bukharis instead of electric heaters where possible.
  5. Insulate Your Home: Good insulation is critical in AJK's mountainous climate to reduce heating costs.
  6. Install Solar Panels: Take advantage of AJKED's net metering program to offset your electricity costs.
  7. Unplug Idle Devices: Standby power consumption adds up significantly over time.
  8. Use Inverter ACs: Inverter technology saves 30-50% electricity compared to conventional units.
  9. Download 3 Months of Bills: Compare consumption trends to identify energy waste patterns.
  10. Pay on Time: Avoid late payment surcharges (up to Rs 500) by paying before the due date.

Consumer Safety Guidelines

Electricity can be dangerous if not used carefully. Practice these safety measures, especially important in AJK's mountainous and earthquake-prone terrain:

  • If you see a fallen power line or damaged transformer, call 123 immediately. Do not approach.
  • During monsoon season and heavy snowfall, stay away from electricity lines and poles.
  • AJK is in an earthquake-prone zone — after any earthquake, check your electrical installations for damage before using them.
  • Do not build structures under or near high-tension power lines.
  • Always use high-quality electrical wires and certified equipment.
  • Use three-pin plugs for all electrical appliances.
  • Never touch electric appliances with wet hands.
  • During heavy snowfall, ensure outdoor wiring and poles are not damaged by snow accumulation.
  • Install circuit breakers and MCBs in your electrical panel.
  • Keep water heaters and geysers properly maintained — poorly maintained geysers cause fires in AJK's winter.
  • If someone gets an electric shock, use wooden equipment to free them — never touch directly.
