Hi,
I can't understand when a single led bulb is used most of the times. The fan is used in only one room.in the kitchen led tube is kept on for hardly 1 hour and in the washroom it varies from 1-2 hours. There is a refrigerator that i use. The ac is in only one room used only for 30 - 45 minutes but not regularly. Still cesc is charginge me a huge amount of rs 4070. The bill date is 16/09/2020. My customer id is [protected].
I have called up the customer care and they are saying that it's based on my consumption. But when i told them that previously i used to receive bills with lesser amount and even requested them to check whether my meter is faulty or not or someone is stealing electricity by attaching some wires to the meter and i was informed by the customer care it can't be done.
I just can't figure out what is happening.
Regards,
Supritha chaudhuri

    I paid my monthly cesc electric bills for consumer no. [protected] for rs.550for the month of June, 2020 through my debit card. Unfortunately, no receipts were generated but the amounts were debited from my account. I wrote to cesc re the problem but they said that since they didn't receive the payments, nothing can be done from their side. Incidentally, cesc bills for June, 2020 is still shown as outstanding.

    Kindly arrange to refund the amounts immediately including the rebate which i didn't get for no fault of mine. Awaiting an early action on your part.

    Thanks,

              The CESC has killed is by sending us such a huge bill, the billing is done incorrectly and they are imposing unjustified charges on us. No one is ready to listen or help us, the two months arrears which they have calculated is based on their assumption and even if we apply their logic, it can be checked and verified that we didn't had such high billing last year for that period on the bases of which we are being charged, during lockdown many o[censored]s have lost their jobs, there are salary cuts, we all are going through immense crises and the CESC is putting their foot on our throats, how can we live when we and our families are suffering so much, Who can help us the CM of WB, the Governor of WB, the PM of India, the President of India, High Court or the Supreme Court, Who can help the suffering of millions of consumers who are suffering humility harrasment discrimination and injustice

                    Hi i am dr avik pal, consumer no - [protected], reside at reside at 278 north balia, garia, kolkata-700084
                    Since one month we are facing problem of voltage fluctuation. I personally logged complaints many times but everyday this problem is being repeated. People from cesc came and still they didnt do anything. They asked us to do whatever we can, because they are not authorised to do anything. No body is taking care of this problem seriously. Due to this reason my wifi router, microwave, induction got affected once and may be cesc is waiting for some more casualties. I don't understand why cesc is not taking initiative to solve this problem and why not giving a permanent solution. We pay bill on time everry month, every formalities we have done according to the rules and regulation laid down by cesc but when it comes to service it's really disappointing us

                    Feel free to call me for any clarification.

                      Myself rabin bera [ customer id: [protected], consumer no: [protected], meter no:[protected], lp 89/14, consumer type: domestic ], residing at 37, nafar chandra das road, behala, kolkata-700034.
                      For the past 2 weeks, we are facing a problem of voltage fluctuation at my home. Our electrician has tested thoroughly and concluded that from the supply meter itself voltage is fluctuating.
                      I lodged a complaint in 1912 and have docket no: [protected], but no action has been taken yet. For this reason, our day to day household work is on hold. My computer has been affected due to this and we are not able to work from home. Cesc is not taking any action to resolve the issue and not taking the incident seriously. All our monthly bills are paid on time, but when it comes to cesc service then it's disappointing.

                      Please feel free to call me on my phone no: [protected]

                        Dear sir,
                        One of our neighbor from our flat complex lodged one complaint vide docket no.[protected] dated 21.05.2020. Immediately after aamphan, which is still pending as on date by some unknown reason to resolve the issue and we all flat owners are worried if any accident/short circuit occur by your cesc electricity connection. Our lives including children are in danger.
                        Kindly note that myself (Consumer id no. [protected]) another flat owner from the same complex made one call to your 1912 on 07.08.2020 at 10.50 am over my mobile about the same unresolved issue of the same docket no, where the gentleman from your (Cesc) side assured me the said complaint would be attended shortly. But most unfortunately as on 10.08.2020 at 12.30, no one from cesc side attended so far to resolve the issue.
                        Kindly note that the case is very sensitive & dangerous. Any time accident may happen. You are requested to kindly intervene the matter on urgent basis.
                        Kindly do the needful.
                        Kind regards

                            I was charged excess from my normal bill on the last month, dated 15th july, 2020. This bill is very unusual and a wrong step taken by the company on most of their customers in west bengal. I stay as a paying guest in a flat in birati, west bengal.
