How to Track LESCO Complaint Status?

You can track your LESCO CCMS grievance from New to Pending/Escalated to Resolved, to ensure NEPRA-mandated resolution timelines.

The Escalation Ladder: What to do if your complaint is ignored?

If your initial report remains unresolved beyond the SLA timelines, follow this tiered legal escalation path to ensure mandatory action:

  • Level 1: Local SDO Office – Visit your specific Sub-Divisional Officer to initiate a manual site survey or technical verification.
  • Level 2: Central Monitoring Cell – Call 042-99205461 to report unresolved local grievances to the LESCO Head Office management.
  • Level 3: NEPRA (Regional Office) – File a complaint with the National Electric Power Regulatory Authority via their Consumer Affairs Division to penalize service delays.
  • Level 4: PMDU (Citizen’s Portal) – Lodge a complaint on the Pakistan Citizen’s Portal to trigger federal oversight on your existing CCMS ticket.
  • Level 5: Electric Inspector (Punjab Energy Department) – Contact the Provincial Electric Inspector for final legal adjudication on safety hazards or excessive billing disputes.

💡 Expert Note: Always quote your original CCMS Tracking ID when escalating to NEPRA or the PMDU to provide a verified digital trail of the delay.
