How to Change the Name of Electric Bill Online and Why It’s Important

How can you change the name of your meter and why is it important to change it? We will answer all these questions in detail. In fact, the need to change the meter name arises when you transfer your house, shop, or hotel to someone else or when someone buys from you. When you sell your property to someone else, you have two options:

• Change the name of your meter to his name and give your meter to him.
• Take your meter with you, where you have to live.

If you don’t change the name of your meter and give it to someone else, you may face many problems.

• One is that you cannot go to a new place and install a meter in your name. 
• Second, if the person to whom you have given the meter in your name does not pay the bill on time, legal action can be taken against you.

In this age of technology, you can easily change the name of your meter to someone else’s, and that too, sitting at your home. Unlike earlier times, you don’t need to go to the WAPDA office yourself and fill in forms or anything like that; you can change the name of your electric bill like MEPCO sitting at home very easily.
