Calcutta Electric Supply Corporation [CESC] Complaints & Reviews

To Ms. Anuradha Saha Date: 14/09/2014 Commercial Executive C.E.S.C North Suburban Regional Office 32, B.T. Road Kolkata- 700058 Sir, Sub: Grievance for excessive bill amount for August 2014 vide Bill No: [protected] Consumer No: [protected] Customer ID: [protected] I am to draw your immediate attention towards the electricity bill of my residence for Aug’2014 which is exceptionally higher than my actual consumption and which is evident from the consumption of the last six months which shows an average of 200 units approximately. But this month my bill shows an amount of Rs, 2190 against the consumption of 325 units which is quite absurd and not to my actual consumption commensurate because of the fact that at present our staying at the above premises is very occasional. Only a few days in a month. Therefore, I shortly put my objection to the above mentioned bill for Aug’2014 and though I have duly paid the amount, I request you to revise and adjust the excess amount in the next month. Thanking you Your faithfully SWAPAN KUMAR MANNA 50/1, DR. NILMONI SARKAR STREET Kolkata- 700090 Bill for the last six months MONTH/YEAR MARCH 2014 APRIL 2014 MAY 2014 JUNE 2014 JULY 2014 AUGUST 2014 UNITS 172 230 167 265 177 **325

Dear Sir It is the second time that I am complaining again a HIGH BILLING amount. I have only one tube light, one fridge, one kitchen chimney, 2 fans, 3 cfls, 2 tvs in my only 400 sq.ft. one bed room flat, but all these electrical items run from 4 pm only because we are only 3 members and we come to home at 4pm only so how can such 222 units consumed during AUGUST 2014 at my meter when no electrical item runs during morning and also when there is no extra ordinary electric gadget at my house. POWER THEFT IS ALSO POSSIBLE because few people generally tap others' line with the help of a local licensed electrician named Nando, who also claims to have a good relations with your CESC people. SO PLEASE CHECK MY LINE THOROUGHLY. from, Sudeep Shome

I am having consumer no [protected]. For the last month I have received a very high bill. Suddenly I have seen a huge rise in my monthly bill, the last month being more than double. I would like to state that my consumption pattern has remained the same and has not increased but rather decreased. Last year also there was an inconsistency noted for the bill of month 07/13 which was reported but no action was taken. Hence I demand an analysis as well as a survey as to why the monthly bill has increased so much. Please take this issue seriously. Thanks Omprakash Patwari

With Rs.9 per unit. kindly guide me with the correct information.

Sub: Consumer [protected] ( in the name of Mrs. Nayantara Chowdhuri )& Meter No. 3354980: Abnormal Bill of August 2014 : Dear Sir, 1) With reference to the subject stated above, I am to inform you that as per the monthly bill for the month of August, 2014, the figure of consumption shown in the said bill is found to be abnormally high and absurd. In fact, there was no usage of electricity from 18th August since there was nobody staying during that period, the consumption shown is the highest in this year. Normally consumption of power goes up in the months of April and May during summer. Even then the consumption has been shown as 1331 units [Rs.12000] in the bill WHICH I FEEL IS NOT AT ALL REASONABLE NOR LOGICAL SINCE NOBODY WAS STAYING AT THE PLACE AND THERE NO QUESTION O[censored]SING ELECTRICITY . 2.
