Understanding the Electricity Bill Consumer Number
The consumer number, often known as the consumer ID number, is a distinctive identification number provided by electricity supply boards to their registered clients. This number assists the provider in keeping track of your individual electricity account. It is similar to a number plate in that it makes it simpler for you to do tasks like making payments, resolving billing issues, using online services, and contacting your electricity supplier’s customer care helpline.
The exact length or the number of digits assigned as your consumer ID number differ depending on the city/state where you live. You can use this number to verify the amount you need to pay based on the number of electricity units consumed at your home and business establishments (if applicable).
How Can I Know My Consumer Number on an Electricity Bill?
There are different ways in which you can find your electricity consumer number. They include the following:
Check your electricity bill
The consumer number is typically mentioned on your physical electricity bill statement. You simply need to search for a section titled ‘Consumer Number’, ‘Consumer ID’, ‘Account Number’, or other similar variations. The consumer number typically comprises a series of numbers, and may or may not have letters in the sequence. If you are unable to locate the consumer number on the bill header, read through the other sections as it may be located in a different part of the bill.Visit the Local Electricity Office

In some areas in India, consumer numbers are printed on the outside of your electricity metre box. You can search for the number on a label or sticker on the metre box. Note that this facility is not available in all regions, and the location of the consumer number on the metre box may differ.
