UPPCL is the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation, the parent of the state's electricity distribution companies, which issue the bills people pay.

Lines used in fake UPPCL (Uttar Pradesh electricity) messages

Your bijli connection will be disconnected today, pay the pending amount on this link
Smart meter registration is required, share the OTP to confirm it
UPPCL rebate of Rs 1,500 is approved, enter your bank details
Last warning, bill not updated, officer will visit tonight

How to verify it yourself

Enter your account number on the official power utility portal or app of your distribution company, typed or installed by you, and see the bill and meter status. Smart meter installation and load changes are handled through the local electricity office, with documents and receipts. A theft case is not settled by a phone payment. Never install a bill APK from a chat, and never share the OTP of a smart meter registration with a caller.

Quick checklist

Do not tap links or call numbers inside the message.
Open the official app, or type the official website yourself, and look for the same notice.
Never share an OTP, PIN, CVV or password with anyone, including "staff".
If money moved, call 1930 and your bank at once.
