Recently, many posts on social media claimed that extra meters are banned, but this is not true.
The government clearly said that people can still get more meters, but they must follow the new rules and verification steps to make sure everything is legal.

This GEPCO New Meter Policy applies to all GEPCO areas and follows the same rules used by other DISCOs in Pakistan.

Why GEPCO Updated the Policy

In Pakistan, especially in GEPCO areas, many families live together in one house but in separate portions.
Some people rent out part of their home to tenants.
Separate meters help everyone get their own electricity bill, so there is no confusion or fighting.

But in the past, some people misused the system. They installed many meters under one CNIC to use cheaper units.
To stop this misuse and to help real families, GEPCO made a GEPCO New Meter Policy for 2025.

Main Features of GEPCO New Meter Policy

Only for Separate Portions

Extra meters will only be given when the house has proper, separate portions that work like independent units.

Site Visit Is Must

GEPCO staff will visit the house to check if each portion has:

Its own entrance
Separate wiring
Its own kitchen

Online Application Available

People can also apply through the GEPCO website to make the process faster.

CNIC Misuse Not Allowed

If someone has many meters on the same CNIC and address without a real reason, GEPCO can remove the extra meters.

Standard Charges Apply

You must pay the updated charges and security deposit based on:

Load requirement
Single-phase or three-phase meter

Digital Record System

All applications will be saved in a digital system used by GEPCO and NEPRA to stop fraud and duplicate connections.

Eligibility Who Can Get an Extra GEPCO Meter?

To get an extra meter in 2025, your house must have:

A separate entrance
Its own kitchen and bathroom
Independent wiring
An affidavit confirming that the portions are separate
Verification from GEPCO staff

How to Apply for an Extra GEPCO Meter

Go to your nearest GEPCO office.
Ask for the New Connection / Additional Meter Form.
Submit the documents:
CNIC copy
Ownership or tenancy proof
Affidavit for separate portions

After approval, GEPCO installs the meter in 1–3 weeks.

Conclusion

The GEPCO New Meter Policy clearly says that multiple meters are still allowed in one house.
