Where to find your consumer number
Your bill shows a number that identifies your connection. In Punjab the discom calls it:
| Discom | Name on the bill | Digits | Where to find it | Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PSPCL | A/C No. | 10 | Near the top, on the line with your name, after Consumer GSTIN. The old A/C No. is next to it. | PSPCL Insta Bill Payment page (input placeholder and maxleng |
From the discoms’ own websites, bill guides and sample bills, read on 17 October 2026. Where the source is a sample bill, we read only its layout: the label, the place and the number of digits. A dash means the official page we read does not say. Never share your consumer number with an unknown caller or app.
