Bharat Petroleum [BPCL] Complaints & Reviews

Hi..

After running for many days when i finally got a cylinder...the guys are asking me to purchase a Gas with cylinder on site that it is mandatory for everyone and is companies rule to do so...however i'm already carrying a new gas...purchased just a couple of months back?

What should i do?? Is it compulsory..as they are asking to deposit 3000 Rs for those..

Please help!

I am consumer of BP gas bearing the consumer no 19164. My agency is Revathi Agencies, Hafiz Pet, Hyderabad. 15 days back (on Feb. 20th, 2008, Booking ID 6900) I booked the gas, till now it has not been not delivered. It also surprising that all the time phone appears to be busy, which is not possible. Fortunately if someone lifts it they promise to send on the same day, waisting lot of our time in waiting at home. I am writing this after heavy frustration. They are doing all this thing purposefully to sell in black. Please look into this matter. I hope at least I will get reply from your end.

Delays in Double Cylynder since approx from 10 months.

Sir,
I am writing from Marol Maroshi , Andheri ( East ), Mumbai - 59. I have been a sincere consumer of Bharat Gas (LPG) since last 12 Months. I tried for 10 months to get double cylinder and have contacted to my nearest service center Marol Naka, several times. Whenever I contact them for double cylender every time they said its not available for now and contact them later after a next month.

I requested them lot of time but they are not responding me properly.
Please Bharat gas officials, if you are listening then i hope you will take care of the issue.
Thanks and with regards and take necessary action.

Dear sir,
I am a consumer of Bharath domestic gas since 2004and reside in perungudi. Whenever I book for a refill the lady who attends asks me to book after few days without telling any reason. Sometimes she says that the cylinder was booked and delivered just a few days back, where the truth is i have not booked for the past 50 days.And after lots of difficulty the cylinder is booked. And now the distributor Mr.Selvam (perungudi) keeps on delaying inspite of our repeated calls. I have seen him delivering our booked cylinders to hotels at a higher price. After around 10 phone calls and repeated beggings (whenever he passes on our road) we get the cylinder. I really want to know whether the cylinders are in demand or these middle men are playing a fool around. Kindly let me know and do the needful.

*** It occurred almost at the time of apprehended increase of the tare by the Govt. and recently on the gossips and hearsay that
(a) The Distributor has no monitory capacity for the placement of Demand /booking timely ---on account of loosing his major Capital Money by investing to other source of earning the Floating Money,
(b) The Distributor is never allowed to have the Consumers speaking directly with him nor his e-mail address has been renewed to get available for reddressal of the Grievances,
(c) The Distributor worked hard in past as a owner of Van-Rickshaw and the License of the Dealership managed on the NAME of a HANDICAPPED one,

Now, whatever may be HE or HIS STATUS, you are requested to look into the matter and issue necessary Directives to the Distributor so that
(aa) The Distributor may be compelled to withdraw his VERBAL INSTRUCTION not allowing the Booking for fresh Cylinder within 14 days of being Empty,
(bb) The Distributor must accept the Booking for a fresh Cylinder as soon as gets it empty,
(cc) The Distributor can’t get authority to deny the fresh Booking at reasonable time-spell and
(dd)We, the domestic fixed earned people can get may get the supply to avoid the indebtness for purchasing the extra required amount GOOLS OR COKE and GUITHHA etc.

My consumer number is 17036. Since the phone numbers of the distributor 'GASJET' are not working, I had booked from ebharatgas.com on 29.01.2008 (ref no. 251477). When I enquired in person with the agency about the delay, I was informed that online booking is not considered and hence stands invalid. They logged a booking today (13.02.2008) and will deliver it after 18 days! We are gas less from yesterday. We even called the Kolkata regional service center, but no success. We have 2 cylinders, but due to the improper service of the agency both are empty. By any chance can we bring this irresponsible distributor to terms.
If the online system is not considered, why bharat gas is misguiding their consumers!

My consumer no. is 24042. I was trying to book the gas today i.e.13.02.2008 from my dealer at CR Park, New Delhi. To my surprise I was told that my connection has been blocked as I have not booked any gas in lat 124 days and now I will have to give an application along with copy initial connection paper.

This is very ridiculous policy. If in a family there are only two members and both working and also having two cylinders and one cylinder last for three to four months then where is the need of booking gas in every 124 days. Instead of praising such family for conservation of natural resources your company is penalizing them and harassing them by way of this new 124 days booking policy. In my view this policy should be scrapped.

I am Bharatgas Consumer Number 26123.
I am booking to online gas Cylender date 29/01/08 Ref. no. 251584 Name of Agency is MANVIR GAS AGENCY Delhi. but till date i have no supply of gas Cylinder. The Agency persion ignor online customer last three month.

i live in sector 8 faridabad.our bharatgas agency dealer,adlakha gas agency is in sector 9.the agency has 3 phone nos for costumers .each of them is inengaged mode whenever we try for booking gas.after hours of trying if anumber gets connected by chance,it is not attended.if you are very lucky and you are able to book your cylinder,then no delivery is made even after 10 days.this time also i booked cylinder 10 days ago but ihave not got the cylinder.please help

Milind Gas Service agency, Milind Market, Keshopur Vilage, New Delhi who have been appointed by Bharat Gas
1. is not supplying the gas cylinders on time,
2. giving false pretexts of short supply of gas cylinders,
3. its staff is misbehaving with customers who come to book their orders.
4. Normally they keep their telephone lines busy to avoid the customers
5. The last supply of gas cylinder to us was on 3rd Jan08 against our consumer number 219 and our request for another gas cylinder was thrice refused by refusing to write even the report
6. and on 28thJan, 08 their staff denied having refused us the supply and were seen refuting their customers like beggars
7. What claims of customer service can Bharat Gas make?

Our consumer number is 219 and we are registered to get the supply of cooking gas from Milind Gas Serveice, Milind market, Keshopur Village, Vikas Puri from the last 25 years. Last gas cylinder was supplied to us on 3rd Jan,08. We wanted to book another cylinder but the request was refused to register three times. On 28th Jan,08 the supply was again refused and the staff of Milind Gas Serveice was treating customers very disgracefully. The general residents of the area are not aware of any gas shortage and the gas dealer's men are seen supplying the gas cylinders on black marketing rates. But the gas cylinders remain in short supply for home cooking.

You are requested to correct this situation and please request your distributors to behave amicably with the residents who are asking for this basic life need from them on cost not as free service.
