If you’re an APDCL consumer in Assam, checking and paying your APDCL bill online takes less than five minutes once you know where to look. This page walks you through every part of it: viewing your current bill, paying it through UPI, card or net banking, downloading a copy for your records, and recharging a prepaid meter if that’s what you’re on.
APDCL, short for Assam Power Distribution Company Limited, is the state-run utility that supplies electricity to homes and businesses across Assam. Millions of households get a bill from them every month, and most of the confusion people run into isn’t about the bill itself. It’s about which portal to use, what the consumer number should look like, and what to do when a payment doesn’t go through right away.

How to Check Your APDCL Bill Online
Before you pay anything, it helps to see what you actually owe. Your APDCL bill shows the billing period, units consumed, current and previous meter readings, and the due date, along with the final payable amount.
To check your bill:
- Go to the APDCL bill check page on this site.
- Enter your 11-digit consumer account number (found on any past bill).
- Submit the form, and your latest bill details will load on screen.
If your consumer number doesn’t work, double-check for extra spaces or a mismatch between the old 12-digit format and the newer 11-digit one. Older accounts sometimes carry both formats depending on when they were last updated in APDCL’s system.
How to Pay APDCL Bill Online
Paying online is the fastest route, and you don’t need to register an account to do it. Here’s the process for a one-time, no-login payment:
- Open the APDCL bill payment page.
- Enter your consumer account number and click Next.
- Confirm the bill amount and due date shown on screen.
- Pick a payment method: UPI, debit card, credit card, net banking, or a digital wallet.
- Complete the transaction through your bank or wallet’s usual verification flow.
- Save or screenshot the receipt once payment confirms.
Most payments reflect instantly. If yours doesn’t show up right away, wait until the next working day before trying again. In our experience, that clears up the vast majority of cases where money left the account but the bill still shows as unpaid, since bank confirmation and APDCL’s system sync with a short delay.
APDCL Bill Payment Methods
| Payment Method | Availability | Notes |

| Credit Card | Yes | Small convenience fee may apply |

Download and Print Your APDCL Bill
Need a copy for a loan application, rental agreement, or your own records? You can download the PDF the same way you’d check the bill:
- Visit the bill check tool and enter your consumer number.
- Once the bill loads, choose the download or print option.
- Save the PDF, or print it directly if you have a printer connected.
Keep at least the last three months of bills saved somewhere. It’s a small habit, but it saves a lot of back-and-forth if there’s ever a billing dispute or you need proof of address.
APDCL Prepaid Meter Recharge
If your connection runs on a smart prepaid meter, the process looks more like recharging a phone than paying a traditional bill:
- Go to the prepaid recharge page.
- Enter your consumer number or smart meter ID.
- Type in the recharge amount, say ₹500 or ₹1,000.
- Pay through UPI, card, or net banking.
- Your meter balance updates automatically, usually within a few minutes, and you’ll get an SMS confirmation.
APDCL Consumer Categories
Your tariff depends on which category your connection falls under. This affects how your bill is calculated each month.
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| LT-I (Jeevan Dhara) | Subsidised domestic category for low-consumption households |
| LT-II (Domestic A) | Domestic connections below 5 kW |
| LT-III (Domestic B) | Domestic connections from 5 kW up to 25 kW |
| LT-IV | Commercial and small business connections |
| HT | High-tension connections for industrial use |
Your category is printed on the bill itself, usually near the consumer number.
New Connection and Consumer Services
Moving into a new place or setting up a fresh connection? You can apply for a new APDCL connection online, update your registered mobile number and address, and manage most account details without visiting a branch office. It’s worth cross-checking any figure you’re unsure about against APDCL’s own <a href=”https://www.apdcl.org” rel=”nofollow” target=”_blank”>official website</a>, since tariff rates and policy details occasionally change.
APDCL Customer Care
If a payment fails, a bill looks wrong, or you’re dealing with a power outage, reaching support directly is often quicker than troubleshooting alone. Find current helpline numbers, email addresses, and complaint registration steps on our APDCL customer care page. You can also register a complaint online and track its status without waiting on hold.
