      The district engineer
      Cesc ltd, kamarhati office
      Bt road, belghoria

      Sub : fault not rectified as promised from the de and misbehavior on your part and that of your
      Emergency support staff

      This is to bring to your notice the following :

      A) there was disruption in power supply in my house on 30/3/16 and i informed through the helpline number
      B) the support staff arrived and misbehaved and though i could observe that the meter was in ok condition and informed them but they completely ignored and sealed the meter from further usage and informed me to visit this office the following day and pay for damaged meter
      C) i remember to have met you and after several persuasion you agreed to send in your personnel to verify the facts and assured to replace the meter if it is ok and had it not burnt out or damaged
      D) another set of technicians informed that the meter was ok and restored connection hence my predictions was correct and it also proved that your support personnel who visited the previous day was incorrect in their findings and i suffered as a result
      E) as per your promise you were supposed to replace the meter and changed the old wirings but instead you threatened me to disconnect my connection which i have been using for the last thirty years !
      F) further i pointed out the anomaly in the bill for consumer no. [protected] where the load is showing as 1.0 kva or 0.8 kw which is a contrast since i have paid deposit in may 2007 to enhance the load and the helpline no. Promised to rectify it in the next bill

      Thus basis above please inform

      A) on what basis my meter was sealed off on 30.04.16 & on what basis it was restored the following day ?
      B) when you will be replacing the meter with associated wirings for which i have sent you a written communication in june 2015 and followed up with several reminders ? I believe you were supposed to do this when i enhanced the load in may 2007
      C) on what basis did you threaten me to disconnect my connection ? Are you competent enough to comment on electrical wirings – in that case you need to point it out rather than misbehave with a customer in distress

      I understand that presently cesc is changing the old cutout alongwith mcv switch and hence i would need you do the needful at the earliest as the onus lies on cesc for upkeep and maintenance and as per above submissions you may want to consider to write me an apology letter

      Regards

          This is to draw your kind attention that today I have got the electricity bill in the name of Shreya Gautam BL-B, 5 Despran Sasmal Road Kol-700108, and for the 3rd time in a row we are getting abnormal electricity bill (7500/= near about per month which is increasing per month last bill was of Rs 23000/= clubbed together) which is not at all possible with 10-12 tubelights, 4 fans, 3 computers and 1 inverter. We had also made a complaint to CESC regarding this, but from our point of view we are getting negative response.

                    Sir,

                    This is to bring to your notice and also to place on record a very peculiar situation I am to face due to the apathy of your service engineers.

                    Some days back, I had lodged a complaint, docket no. [protected] when the wires connecting my meter to my main switch broke.

                    Since then, I have had my meter replaced on installing an air conditioner. Both sets of engineers have advised me to have the wires connecting the meter to my mains replaced immediately as to avoid any hazard/disaster.

                    In the event of my undertaking such repairs myself I leave myself open to charges of tampering.

                    While both engineers agreed it was their job, neither agreed to undertake the work.

                    Kindly have this matter examined and rectified early, as this is a potential disaster waiting to happen.

                    Thanking you,

                                Dear Sir,
                                We are out of station for the last six months, and will be for a few more months.
                                The electricity meters are inside the Land lady’s premises. She is also out of station.
                                We have received high power consumption bill. This is putting a strain on our meager financial resources.
                                You will surely agree that, we are being taxed for an issue we have no control on.
                                Requesting you to do the needful to avoid any further exorbitant bills-till we return back to Kolkata.
                                Please Note: As we have not consumed a single unit of electricity, we will not be able to make any payment towards this bill. Further, please revoke the disconnection order-if any and oblige.
                                Thanks.
                                Sincerely yours,
                                N.N. Banerjee

                                        Address: Kolkata, West Bengal, 700001

                                        I tried to pay my electric bill and paid 580 INR for December bill. This time also money was deducted and payment from my SBI account was shown successful. But then browser showed some error. I again checked but found that receipt of payment is not given in cesc website. It again gives the option to pay bill instead of receipt when I entered my consumer Id. Details of transaction:
