Bharat Petroleum [BPCL] Complaints & Reviews

Sir,

I'm Mohamed Ismail from Chennai. And I'm the consumer of Bharat Gas since last three years (Consumer No.32215). My agency name in Chennai is Ms Jayaram Gas Agency (Bharatgas Distributor) C.C. No. 641818 N.No:131 (129 A) Block-D, Anna Nagar (East) Chennai-600102. My serious concern with this agency is that everytime I make a call for booking a LPG cylinder gets a quick response either about short supply or transport strike or words which favour them. Never in the last three years I get quick delivery. I would like to mention here a fact also. Very recently Petrolium Ministry hiked LPG rate. But Tamilnadu state government came in to rescue us from the burden and extended upto Rs 30 discount per cylinder. Under this scheme I'm eligible for a cylinder every 21 days only. Even booking will not be accepted before the stipulated period. But the problem with the agency is that booking after 21 days they take minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 2 weeks. They have no regrets in answering me while at the time of booking that delivery will effect only after 10 days. As you know, how a small family with an infant suffer a lot at home. Please do the needful.

REMINDER 1 & 2

Sub.: Irregularities done by Hima Bindu Sakti Gas Agency's Booking Staff, Safilguda, Secunderabad – reg.



I regret to inform you that I am having only one cylinder vide consignment no. BS 22886 (Booking No. 288 dated 2.2.2009) when they booked over the phone simply mentioned after 21 days you are getting the cylinder. Even single cylinder also they are saying just like as a Tape recorder message. I am surprising to note that today again I called up and asked about the status… they called up and said that within 21 days you are getting whether you are having One Cylinder, Spare or others….. Even if you are not having spare cylinder also we have to wait… they suggested use proper level instead of assisting…. We know what is what? They simply hired to Commercial / other officials instead Customers…. If customer is asking the status …. They don't; bothered….. they are having only one message i.e. after 21 days your cylinder should reach in your home… thatx it… This is for your information.



With regard to single cylinder //// at least 10 days required instead 21 days???? ///////// Please expedite…. Finally our agency phone nos. are always busy…. I am trying no. of times…. I had applied spare cylinder long time back, though I did;t get any information……



Please instruct to concerned department and not to do this in future ….. I am also working as a good position….. ofcourse they are working in Indian Oil Co. So what???? We are also working…. atleast politeness is required….



Just for your information and instruct to M/s. HIMA BINDU SKATI GAS AGENCY, SAFIL GUDA, SECUNDERABAD, (HYDERABAD) ANDHRA PRADESH Ph. NO.[protected] / 27225151

Dear Sir,

I am Murugesh from coimbatore having consumer No. 54851 at Peelamedu, Hope College. branch.

Sir I am having single cylinder from your gas agency. when we book for it they give rules as per their wish 'saying that' "can book only after 10 days of delivery" some time "can book after 15 days of delivery" and some times " only after 20 days of delivery.

they also deliver the cylinder only after 15 - 20 days of booking.

Is rules meant to change as per your wish or it is meant to maintain regularity. we are getting irriated of this agency. how can a single cylinder consumer wait for 40 days.

I have booked the cylinder on 7th of janaury and got delivered on 28th Jan. and today i went for booking the cylinder she says " you can book only after 20 days from delivery date.

i want to know wat the hell is going on how can a conusmer be without cylinder till you persons take your own time to deliver it to the customers.
Pls do rectify the problem.

or It will force us to move to the consumer court.

I am a Bharat Gas user. I have a bharat gas connection from Bharat Gas Mira Road (East) Dist Thane (Maharashtra). My service no. 152049. I have issued only one cylinder, as per my family requirement I have many times requested the agency to issue 2nd Cylinder, but they refused to issue 2nd cylinder to me. You are requested to kindly issue me 2nd cylinder....

Dear sir/madam,

At the time of taking connection from Bharat Gas agency, I got single cylinder. My consumer no. is 1529. I have been trying hard to get second cylinder by approaching the Viraat Enterprises dealer, Delhi but in vain. Its been almost 3years now pursuing them. Each time, they say that issuance of 2nd cylinder is stopped till further notice.

May I know whether such a rule exist in reality or not?

Also, if such a rule exist, then they should send the refill cylinder on the same day the booking is made. But this is not happening and it takes 7-9 days for them to send the refill cylinder. This too after repetitive reminders.

Kindly look into this matter. Its really difficult for working women if cooking gas is not available for 1 week at a stretch.

My consumer No. is 014418. I have booked for a cylinder for home delivery on 12.01.2009 with Abhinav Gas Agency, Bilaspur(C.G) ( Bharat Gas). But till to-day I have not received the gas even after 26 days. I have reminded the agency repeatedly but of no vein. Sometimes they are saying that the cyclinder will be supplied within one or two days and sometimes they says that the cylinder has already been delivered. I think there is no proper system of gas delivery with the agency and they are replying casually. To get a cyclinder from the Agency has become very difficult and they are not properly replying also.

Kindly look into the matter and advise the Agency for proper distribution of the gas.

This complaint is about the Bharat Petroleum petrol pump located in Panjim behind Don Bosco school.

On 05-feb-2009 at around 8.00 PM I filled fuel of Rs.100.
After travelling around 10 kms I noticed the fuel-gauge and to my surprise it was showing only 1 bar full. Usually for more then 2 litres it shows 2 bars full.

I am sure that this is done randomly as everyday this is not the case. But doing randomly also they are cheating so many customers.

I hope company will take a note of this and look into the matter for avoiding further cheating of the customers.

I am a consumer of Bharat Gas staying in Pimple Saudagar, Pune, Maharashtra. The past few months has been horrifying experience while receiving LPG cylinder delivery to my house. The ageny in our area i.e RATAN Enterprises in Rahatni, Pune, is least bothered whether the consumer gets the cylinder delivery on time. Recently we had a terrible experience where my spouse & me had to carry cylinder for refilling to the gas agaency. The agency authorities replied that the cylinder cannot be refilled here & you need to contact the delivery boy(who usually drives the Gas Clider carrier) for the delivery of the cylinders to the consumers. The delivery boy is so arrogant that he asked us to come at a specific place for the delivery of the LPG cylinder. We(me & spouse) waited for almost an hour to take the delivery of the cylinder.
Now it feels that we are left at the mercy of the delivery boy to get the LPG cylinders.
We are trying to register the complaint against the agency but are not sure where to register the same. hopefully this will be forwarded & taken into consideration.
Thanks.

Sir,
I am a resident of bilaspur chhattisgarh.
Being a daily commuter i regularly take petrol for my bike from all the psu oil company outlets in my city.
But from the last one year these companies are creating artificial shortage of normal unleaded petrol which is less priced than the branded petrols like speed and extra premium.
You can only get the unleaded petrol for few days and most of the days they are selling branded ones which are costlier than the normal one.
My question is if they are making branded petrol by adding value added substances to normal ptrol then there shoul not be any shortage of normal petrol when there is no shortage of the branded one???
How can we confirm that they are not selling normal petrol under the ficitous tag of branded one when there is no proper checks on most of the petrol pumps???
My sincere request is to comsumer right activists and govt to look forward in this regard.

I have booked for one 1 cylinder onl 2.1.2009 over phone and after frequent enquiry, the dealer's staff at desk told, my booking is only made on 24.1.2009 for the cylinder, 22 days after my orginal phone booking.In the mean time the office bearers and the delivery boys utilise the cylinders for some other purposes, such as black marketing etc., and gives us very delayly, that too after fighting with the dealer.

gas clyder every time delay supply and sell to over rate illegal, not consumer respones

Dear All Concerned,

I had applied for a New connection of Bharat LPG Gas in the month of September 2008, i recd a call from the Agency on 23rd Jan 2009 that i have been alloted a new connection and i can come and do the necessary documentation after 1st Feb 2009 and take the delivery, but when i went to the Agency on 2nd Feb since 1st was a Sunday i was told by a lady sitting at the counter that its been a rush day and asked to come next day, when i asked about the amount to be paid she said Rs 4500/-, i asked for break up of the amount, she informed that i have to buy a new gas stove which is provided by them, i informed her politely that since i already have a Gas stove hence i would not like to buy a new one, she simply said that in that we cannot give u the new connection. when i demanded an Answer and justification she asked me to speak to her senior who was not available. i got his number and spoke to him in the evening at 5.00 pm . he also informed the same thing and told me this is the POLICY OF BHARAT GAS and not theirs. When i still refused to buy the stove, he said that in that case a team from his agency will come to my home and check if i really have a Stove and if its working in good condition, then they will forward the report to bharat gas and If bharat gas approves it, he will be in a position to give the new cylinder. i have refused for an inspection by saying him that he is not the authorized government body to inspect my Kitchen.
The Manager was so confident about what he was saying that he asked to me deal directly with Bharat Gas.
I feel Helpless with his indifferent Attitude.
I don't know the guidelines and policy of BHARAT GAS COMPANY but i personally feel that it may not be compulsory for a new customer to buy a stove from the Agency.
I fear he will give away my connection to some other customer who pays him more.
Please advice and guide me as to what should i do?

I Grieved helpless and discouraged New customer.

Moin Shaikh.
