          Website: CESC AND PAYTM

          Dear Sir,

          This is to inform you that we have been paying CESC bill for last two months through 'ONLINE' and through 'PayTm' gateway.
          Last month I paid the bill for the month of July, 2016 on 26/08/16 at around 6.00 a.m. and the details are as follows:

          Merchant Name
          Withdrawal
          Deposit
          Status
          Comment
          paytm_wallet
          · Paid for Order
          · CESC Order #2604512400807161160826055400000000000000000032
          · Paytm Cash Txn ID [protected]
          ·[protected]:04:22 AM

          But no transaction receipt was sent by CESC and PayTm is showing successful transaction.The same was intimated to PayTm.
          Now at this position to avoid to be a defaulter I paid the bill amount on 1/09/2016 in ‘CASH’ as it was the last bill due date.
          These incidents is definitely demotivating a good customer to use ‘ONLINE’ as this is causing lot of harassment and unnecessary loss of time and money.
          I shall be most thankful if you kindly resolve the issue immediately and send your comments so that I get back the money of Rs 930.00.

          Thanking you,
          Yours faithfully

              Today while paying bill for July, 2016 amounting Rs.3020/- through Netbanking Bill Desk Gateway, the transaction processing was cancelled by me on getting a security warning that this might be read by third party. After sometime I paid the same amount through netbanking Paytm gateway, this time the transaction processing completed and I got the payment receipt of the same.

              But, when I checked into the transactions made in my bank statement, it showed double transaction of Rs. 3020/- each to CESC.

              Please look into the matter and refund the excess amount paid for the bill.

                  I am surprised to receive today the sms stating that your representative could not read
                  The meter due to inaccessability to my meter
                  This is not at all acceptable.Please enquire from your representative whether he
                  Approached meter room.
                  The room is accessible 24 hrs. To everybody.
                  The door of meter room remain unlocked specifically from 24th to 31st of every month
                  For reading by your representative.
                  Today i had seen that it was open in the morning.
                  Worthwhile to mention here that several times in the past i have called your meter
                  Reading personnel & showed him the meter room at the time when they
                  Were about to leave my house.


                  Inspite of informing you several times, i am not getting advanced message for meter
                  Reading since last one year . I found it fishy as the meter readings show lots of
                  Discrepancies during the period.It is useless to discuss with cesc because they have the
                  Monopoly & can do any type of business.Time & again i have interacted with your personnel
                  In the past, but, were confused at the baseless explanation.How long will we have to be
                  Harassed like this?

                  Please note that i will not accept bill on the basis of average meter reading because
                  Cesc have got no right to decide on billing without customer's notice.

                  Regards,
                  Siladitya bose

                      I do not have ac and lot of appliances.
                      Normally my bill amount is about rs.900/- per month and payment is made electronically by internet through hdfc bank. There is standing instruction to bank.
                      To my surprise last message of bank that bill for rs. 2700/- (Meaning 300% increase) has been received. I have not stopped payment. But i have reasons to believe that there is serious mistake at your end in raising the last bill. For your information bill no.[protected] for june 2016 is for rs.410/-
                      I am a sr, person and i am unable to move from pillar to pillar to get the bill rectified. I am making payment under protest and request you to please look into it. Thanks.

                          A payment for Rs. 2680/ has been made on 20.8.16. The same has been debited from my bank at 18:12 hours and again the same amount i.e. Rs. 2680/- has been debited against the same bill on same day at 18:18 hrs.

                          This was probably due to some technical fault. I now request CESC to refund me Rs. 2680/ as it is an excess payment.

                                    Dear sir, urgent
                                    I am a senior citizen and had been paying cesc bills for last 14 yrs at the dumdum cash collection office. My customer id is - [protected]. Today at about 12.20 pm i have visited the office to tender rs 500/- against a bill which has accumulated for few months due to non - payment by my brother-in-law, who is staying out. At the counter no -5, one lady staff shoved my rs 1000/- note saying "as i have come to the counter just now, i can not take the money with so much of currency change. I got surprised, and quietly asked her, madam can you manage the change from other counters. She simply turned away from facing me. I have shifted myself to another counter and paid the amount.
                                    Then, i have enquired with lady supervisor, whether she is having any complain book in her custody.In reply she said she does not have any. While talking to her about the erratic behaviour of the staff at counter no-5, she told me to follow the instructions to be followed as mentioned on the reverse of the cesc printed bill. That means" customer to accommodate by tendering exact amount of the bill". I have protested by saying every time it may not bee possible to do the same. But she was totally indifferent about the" erratic behavior "of the staff concerned. Surprisingly, after talking to the supervisor when i was leaving the counter / floor, i heard one staff manning" counter no - 6"was uttering among them -"go go let him complain ". I have come back & inquired with the person, whether his is encouraging me to complain? He sat upright in his chair and said" yes, go and lodge complain ".
                                    Sir, the last incident forced me to sit immediately and sent you this long" complain mail ".
                                    I am sorry to take your time. But this adamant unyeilding attitude should be dealt very firmly and to be stopped in a business organisation. Also, it is worth mentioning here that, due to late hrs and summer rain, very few customers were present on the floor.
                                    The matter" chat with md " needs to be revisited once again.

                                    Thanking you,
                                    With regards,
