Govt Launches ‘Apna Meter Apni Reading’ App – Take Control of Your Bill
What is “Apna Meter Apni Reading”?
The Government of Pakistan has initiated a transformative program dubbed Apna Meter Apni Reading, which is targeted at empowering the consumers of electricity in the country. The program also enables users to give their meter readings via the help of a smartphone app, which in turn enables electricity bills to be more transparent, accurate, and easier to use.
Power Smart App – The Official Reading Platform
The authorized vehicle for giving your electricity reading through Apna Meter Apni Reading program is the Power Smart App. It is configured to enable real-time submission, which is backed by photo evidence. The app creates a smooth linkage between consumers and their different providers of power, like MEPCO, LESCO, among others.
Instead of billing the estimated data or the calculated scales of manual entries that lead to errors, it ensures that only the real consumption units are billed.
Why It’s Important for Consumers
Pakistan consumers have been complaining of inaccurate bills, slow payments, and a lack of transparency over the past years. Apna Meter Apni Reading App alters all this as they would have full control over their monthly billing.
By being able to submit your readings, not only can you avoid possible overbilling, but you also prevent disputes or complaints in the future. The app gives consumers the authority to control and monitor their energy consumption and be updated on their electricity consumption on a real-time basis.
