      Please change my mobile phone number from existing [protected] to [protected] with immediate effect, if it is possible and confirm via my e-mail number @[protected]@gmail.com

      I have been trying to do so online but failed miserably as your web site is the most irritating and unprofessional in the THE WHOLE WORLD (yes, I have lived in many cities in Asia, Europe and America) and this distinction is quite genuine.

      Rest on your laurel!!!

      Thanking you.

              Sir,
              This grievance is regarding my meter reading dated 15/11/2017 at 76/2 taltala lane, kolkata 700014. My consumer no. Is [protected] and customer id is [protected]. My electricity bill meter reading for october 2017 reads as - previous meter reading 24219 and the present meter reading as on 15/11/2017 was 24585. Units consumed is 366 units amounting to rs. 3040/- (Gross). Today around 20.00 hrs i have personally checked the meter reading and i was surprised to note that the meter reading was showing 24469 at this very moment and not 24585 which was taken as granted on 15/11/17. Quite strange. Guess work without physical presence of taking meter reading. What is the intention behind this? It is a case of sheer cheating. Moreover, we were out of station for about 15 days during the pujas and there is no question of consumption of electricity during this period. As a good gesture, i have made the above mentioned payment but with a high hope that such incidence does not occur in future. I also request the authority to make the necessary adjustment with my future payments. Let the person entrusted with meter reading be honest and efficient to do so.
              Thanks.

                  My consumer no is [protected]. Now i do not leave in the flat. My flat is under lock and key since march 2017. No electricity is used there since march-2017. But i paid rs 120 for september 2017 as per bill charged against my electric meter reading1034. Meter reading is still 1034 which i verified today. But i found through internet that bill for october 2017 is rs 560. Present meter reading column is left blank. This bill is totally abnormal. It is quite impossible to charge the bill rs 560. Hence, you are requested to arrange for visit and enquiry my meter reading and revise the bill at the earliest please.
                  Thanking you.

                      As per my usage, my current bill is generated more than that. Customer id is [protected]. From this meter usage only for three lights, two fans and one 1.5 ton ac. For your information the ac machine was very rarely used last month. So i am not convincing with the amount of bill. So i request you please look into this matter, and send me a justified bill.

                        Dear sir,
                        In the electricity bill for the month of october 2017 shows the consumption of 318 units where as my average consumption never went above 175 unit in whole year/ 12 months. This some fictitious consumption is being shown which might have raised due some external intervention.
                        Please look into the matter and make necessary inquiry at the earliest and relieve me of paying huge bill amount for rs 2350.00
                        Thanking you,
                        Yours faithfully,
                        Puspita mukherjee

                            Since may 2017 onwards usage is very high, unit consumed is on higher side every time. Average meter reading is possible.
                            Compiled before but no one bother to concern, perhaps monopoly business thats why
                            Next time will go to consumer court for the same.
                            During june 16, when usage was only 131 unit, this year it was 338, when there was no additional electronic item had been used.
                            For last 7 months, bill amount charged approximately rs 1830... Where as last year is was approximately 1150.
