What is Pro-Rata Billing in LESCO?
Prorated billing is a method that calculates charges based on the actual time a service is used, rather than the full billing cycle.
This approach allows customers to pay only for the portion of the service period they utilize, ensuring a more accurate and fair billing process in LESCO.
