- Tap the Bills or Utility Bills option on the home screen.
- Choose Gas as the category, then select SSGC from the list of companies.
- Enter your 10 digit consumer number. The app usually fetches your name, billing month, due date, and both payable amounts automatically.
- Check that the name and amount match your bill, enter the one time password (OTP) sent to you, and confirm.
Method 2: Pay Through a Bank Mobile App or Internet Banking
If you hold an account with a scheduled bank in Pakistan, you can pay through its official app or website. Popular examples include Meezan Bank, HBL, Bank Alfalah, UBL, Allied Bank, and Faysal Bank.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does an online payment take to show in the SSGC system?
Most wallet and bank payments update almost immediately, though occasionally a payment may take up to a working day to appear. Keep your transaction ID and receipt until the payment is visible on your next bill. If it does not appear, contact your payment provider and SSGC with that ID.
What if I entered the wrong consumer number and paid someone else’s bill?
Contact your wallet provider or bank right away with your transaction ID, the amount, and the time of payment. Then inform SSGC through its helpline or a regional office. Recovery is not always automatic, which is why you should always check the customer name shown on screen before you confirm.
Can I pay my SSGC bill online after the due date?
Yes, in most cases you can still pay through the same channels. The after due date amount printed on your bill applies, and it includes a late payment surcharge. Always pay the amount displayed in the app, since it reflects what is currently owed.
How can I find my old payment history?
Your wallet or banking app keeps a transaction history that you can usually filter by biller and date. You can also review previous bills and payment records through official SSGC services. Screenshots of receipts are a helpful backup.
Do I need a bank account to pay online?
Not necessarily. Many verified mobile wallets let you pay bills using wallet balance without a traditional bank account. Bank apps and card gateways, however, require an active account or card.
Are there fees for paying online?
Wallet and bank app payments are often free, while card gateways and over the counter services may add a small fee. Fees and promotions change, so check the confirmation screen before you approve the payment.
Is it safe to pay through any website or app?
No. Use only the official app of your bank or wallet, or the payment options that SSGC lists on your bill or official website. Never enter card details on a page you reached through a suspicious message.
What should I do if the payment was deducted but shows as unpaid?
Wait a short while, since some payments take time to sync. If it still shows unpaid, share your transaction ID and receipt with your payment provider and with SSGC so the payment can be traced and credited.
Paying your SSGC bill online is quick, available at any hour, and gives you a digital record of every payment. Choose the method that suits you, double check the consumer name and amount before confirming, and keep your receipts. Paying a few days before the due date is the easiest way to avoid surcharges.
