Telangana Electricity Bill 2026: Online Payment, Bill Download, Service Number & Complaint Guide
Paying an electricity bill, checking monthly consumption or reporting a power cut should not require unnecessary visits to an office. Telangana consumers can access several electricity services online through the official distribution company portals.
The two important distribution companies covered in this guide are:
TGSPDCL — Southern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Limited.
TGNPDCL — Northern Power Distribution Company of Telangana Limited.
The Telangana government’s Energy Department lists both companies in its official directory. Always use the distribution company printed on your electricity bill.This guide explains how to pay your bill, check details, save payment proof, report electricity problems and access other consumer services.
1. Official Telangana electricity bill payment portals
Choose the portal that matches your electricity service area.
TGSPDCL — Southern Telangana
Official website: TGSPDCL Consumer Portal
Available services include online bill payment, bill details, new service registration, service requests, rooftop solar and grievance facilities.
TGNPDCL — Northern Telangana
Official website: TGNPDCL Official Portal
The portal offers bill payment, bill information, consumer services, complaints and application-related facilities.
Tip: Do not select a portal only because it mentions your district. Verify the distribution company and service details printed on your actual bill.
2. How to pay your Telangana electricity bill online
Follow these steps to pay through your distribution company’s official website.
Open the correct official portal above.
Select Pay Bill Online or the relevant payment service.
Enter the requested consumer details, such as your service number or unique service number.
Check the consumer name, service address and amount due.
Select an available payment method, such as UPI, card or net banking where offered.
Complete the payment on the authorised payment page.
Save the receipt or transaction reference.
TGSPDCL lists online bill payment among its quick services, while TGNPDCL provides digital payment options through its official website.
Important: A bank debit or UPI success message alone is not sufficient proof that the electricity account has been updated. Check the payment status through the official system.
3. How to check your Telangana current bill
If you want to know your current electricity bill before paying, use the official Know Your Bill facility where available.
You may need details printed on your electricity bill, such as:
Unique Service Number (USCNO/USC)
Service number
Consumer/account details requested by the portal
For TGNPDCL, the official website provides a Know Your Bill facility and links for checking payment details.
Check the following before payment:
Billing period
Current and previous meter readings, where displayed
Units consumed
Amount payable
Due date
Arrears or adjustments, if any
If the bill seems unusually high, compare the units consumed and meter readings with previous bills before raising a complaint.
4. How to download an electricity bill or payment receipt
A bill copy and a payment receipt serve different purposes.
Bill copy: Shows the amount assessed and payable for a billing period.
Payment receipt: Shows evidence of a payment transaction.
To obtain them:
Open the official distribution company portal.
Select the relevant bill-information, payment-history or receipt facility.
Enter the required service details.
Follow the portal’s instructions to view or download the document.
Save the PDF or transaction reference securely.
If the online payment was successful but the receipt is unavailable, check the transaction status first. Avoid paying again until you understand the status of the original payment.
5. Where can I find my electricity service number?
Your service number or unique service number identifies your electricity connection.
Look for it on a previous electricity bill, payment receipt or consumer record. The exact label may differ between portals.
If you cannot locate the number:
Check an older bill for the same connection.
Review the consumer account or linked mobile application, if available.
Contact the official distribution company or visit an authorised service centre with relevant details.
Do not share OTPs, passwords or sensitive payment credentials with people claiming they can retrieve your service number.
6. How to complain about a power cut in Telangana
A power cut may result from a scheduled shutdown, a local fault, equipment maintenance or another supply issue.
For the Northern Telangana distribution area, official TGNPDCL information lists the following supply-related complaint numbers:
1912
1800 425 0028
The Jagtial district administration’s electricity information page also lists these numbers for consumer complaints.
Service number
Exact location
Nearby landmark
Approximate time the supply failed
Whether the issue affects one home or the entire locality
Never touch a fallen wire or attempt to repair electrical equipment yourself. Report dangerous electrical conditions immediately to the appropriate utility or emergency service.

If the amount appears incorrect, record the issue and submit a complaint through the official utility.
Possible concerns include:
A sudden unexplained increase
Incorrect meter reading
Wrong consumer details
Duplicate payment
Payment not reflected
Meter malfunction
Billing-period confusion
Keep a copy of the bill, previous bills, meter photographs where safe, and payment references.
TGSPDCL and TGNPDCL both provide consumer service or grievance facilities through their official websites.
8. How to apply for a new electricity connection
If you are constructing a house, moving into a new property or opening a business, look for the New Service Registration or new-connection facility on the appropriate utility website.

Applicant identification
Property address
Ownership or occupancy documentation, as applicable
Requested connection category
Sanctioned load or load requirements
Other documents specified by the utility
Requirements, fees and processing times depend on the connection type and current rules. Check the application portal for the actual checklist and charges rather than relying on an old fee chart.
9. Electricity bill payment through mobile apps
The TGNPDCL website lists digital payment options, and official district information has also listed services such as T-Wallet and supported payment applications for bill payment. Availability may vary by provider and payment channel.
Verify the electricity provider and consumer details.
Check the amount before authorising payment.
Use a trusted app or the official utility portal.
Never disclose your UPI PIN to another person.
Save the transaction reference.
Confirm the payment against your electricity account.
Be cautious of search advertisements, fake customer-care numbers and links sent by unknown people.
