Tamil Nadu Electricity Board Complaints & Reviews

Hello. I have a very serious concern with the static meter that was just recently installed by TNEB about 4 months ago at my residential premises. The last bi-monthly reading taken on 17th July showed 170 and the reading taken on the 16th September shows 1574. That is 1404 units. We have not had to pay more than few hundred rupees all these years and now all of a sudden the bill shows that we need to pay Rs9894 this month. We have not used...

It’s now the 21st of Aug and still the meter reading has not been taken yet. Due this our consumption may go over the limit and charged more / may be fined for not playing the bill on time. Why is it taking so late for the people from EB to take a reading?...

Complaint:
Ref: letter no.15584/a9/a92/2020-4, dated.17.04.2020.
As per the above reference tneb department (Tamilnadu electricity board) issued necessary instructions for all the tneb offices to maintain 33% staff strength because of corona virus spreading.
Its been 4 days after issuing the above orders but most of the tneb offices not following the above orders and 33 % of staff strength not maintained on the offices...

For this bi-monthly billing cycle, our total amount is 31216/- which is way more than our previous bills. On top of that they have even added accd as 13640/-. This is ridiculous. Our total bill amount is 44756/-. For a 2bhk flat with minimal usage of 2ac, this amount is very much. Please do something as our due date is 13/05/2019. Earlier our electricity was around[protected]. But this time it is way too much....

It is commonly stated that the tneb is second in corruption department.
I thought it to be only the personnel work with the department is corrupted, but the system itself seems to have certain practices which are not logically right.
My case here: the energy meter supplied and installed by the tneb went fault. It was identified to be so, because of very less charges calculated.
The meter was hence changed from an analog...
