Kindly check the Meter, it may be defective and advise us.

My meter reading was not taken for month of july 2021 and sent me an average bill of amount rs.50

but everbody meter read was taken from that place

Dear Sir,
I have earlier registered a complaint no. CC/03/04123/21, received Docket no.[protected] dated 03.08.2021, but till date not received any call or response from CESC.
The condition is very dangerous and specially during this rainy season and water logging in the area it becomes more hazardous.
This job cannot be executed except CESC, we have to rely only their technicians only under CESC responsibility.
Now if any accident happens in the premises Electric Meter Board CESC will be responsible.
Immediate action is awaited.

Power not being stable it's coming and going off

I purchased the mentioned flat of 1st floor of 473, Ashok Road Kolkata 700084, last year and get it from the previous owner on 16th of March 2020, from then it is kept locked due to lockdown, I was out of station as of my mother's serious illness, I can't get the bills on time so that I can pay or check it, now when I went to my flat, I saw the electric is disconnected and went to know the matter to cesc office, they said me about a huge bill of last year March, April and June

I resided at 223, canal street, Sreebhumi, kolkata-700048.Since past five years I am facing a problem of higher bill amount.There are no such appliances which may cause higher amount.I cannot check the box as we resided at a flat.Previously bill amout was 700/- p.m averagely which now become[protected].Which is quite abnormal.I am doubting there is surely any electric threft or this is a result of your nuisence.I request you to look into this matter and take required measures immediately.

Everyday we the residents of Shibrampur, Jayshree park, Kolkata 700061, West Bengal area are facing power cut several times and it became an usual practice of the CESC. On an average the power outage is happening 3-4 times daily and lasts upto minimum period of 2-3 hours and whenever we are raising complaints about the issue the customer care cell, they are telling us that "The transformer is gone out" and nowadays it seems like we are listening to a broken record! If the transformer of the area is faulty then why the CESC authority is not replacing the transformer into a new one? The electricity tariff is the highest among the whole country and moreover there are no such big industry is in operation which cause the problem!!! We demand to know what is the actual reason behind it. If there are any power theft occurring in the area then why the authority is not any action? This deliberate action is left us no choice but to knock the door of Court! You guys better resolve the issue to avoid any unpleasant situation

Hi team,

The power is off for more than 3 hours but still the recordings is playing. It says in two hours it will be restore. This is reduculous.

I, RAM GOPAL SHARMA, IS ONE OF THE RESIDENT OF BLOCK-K AT BUDGE BUDGE INDUSTRIAL HOUSING ESTATE, 24 PGS (SOUTH) HAVING MY CONSUMER ID [protected] WISH TO STATE YOU THAT GOVERNMENT RAISED THE OUTSIDE PATHWAY of many building including BLOCK K, AND CONTINUED THE SAME raising of the road by plastering even INSIDE THE BUILDING staircase floor. BECAUSE OF THIS RAISING OF FLOOR THE GAP BETWEEN THE FLOOR AND METER BOX IS NOW VANISHED AND THE WIRES ETC ARE LYING ON THE FLOOR MAKING IT A FIRE HAZARD. IT IS UNDER WATER NOW DURING RAINY DAYS AND AN ACCIDENT IS JUST WAITING TO HAPPEN.
I HAD FILED THIS SAME COMPLAINT ON 2ND JUNE 2021 BEFORE THE MONSOON SEASON BUT NO REPAIRING WAS DONE. ANY DAY AN ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN AND WE LIVE IN FEAR. TAKE THE RISK. IF ANYTHING HAPPENS TO THE RESIDENT OF THIS BUILDING CESC WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE.
You are requested to immediately take steps for the upliftment of the meter box to prevent any untoward incident.

Hi Sir/Madam,

The officers at the physical office (Outstanding department) at Shyambazar Kolkata office are harassing us mentally by stating that someone called Ramgopal Poddar has not made electric payment 3-4 years back who lived at our address at some other flat on 3rd floor which is not at all associated with us (We live on the 4th floor). The outstanding department has acknowledged that we are not the same person.

The outstanding department is saying we have to sort their mess (corona or no corona) and pay them 20000 rupees that the person owed to CESC.

They are not allowing us to pay our part of the bill and the person present on the counter is saying that he will harass us and do what we can.

This is really difficult for me and family as they are threatening to cut the power as well. My dad was on oxygen concentrator for the month for safety measures as advised by Our doctor. Please help me.

I asked for the officers at outstanding department name but he is not saying his name.

I don’t have that much money to spare for these things as I have paid enough for medicines this month already.

Inspire of the ailment we visited Shyambazar again and again by the members of office are not helping.

Looking forward for your help. Please tell them to not threaten to cut my power and sort their billing related mess on their own

Issue with Chowringhee office at Kolkata, WB.

We applied for a new meter reference no. As stated above in May but it was not installed as the main connection was delayed on CESC's end because of lockdown.
They sent a person to install the meter without giving the mains connection before!
Then once the main was set, they never came to install my meter.

The offer is usually for 3months and would expire in August. I have paid the advance deposit of 30, 000 almost upfront.

Neither the district engineer at Chowringhee office nor any CESC employee has responded to my problem depsite repetitive mailing and queries.

They expect amidst the pandemic, I have to visit their office which is far from my place in public transport for a connection that I completely applied online.

What's the point of digitalising if people have to visit office and sign forms in a raging pandemic! And if this was the scene, why take money online and not provide service afterwards. This is unprofessional and absurd.

My consumer number is [protected].. no supply for last two hours.and fortyfive minutes.
rang up the complaint no twice. everytime they changed the docket numbergiving a routine reply that two hours will be required
grievance call cenyre is a farce
