Bharat Petroleum [BPCL] Complaints & Reviews

Dear sir,
I am a consumer of Bharath domestic gas since 2004and reside in perungudi. Whenever I book for a refill the lady who attends asks me to book after few days without telling any reason. Sometimes she says that the cylinder was booked and delivered just a few days back, where the truth is i have not booked for the past 50 days.And after lots of difficulty the cylinder is booked. And now the distributor Mr.Selvam (perungudi) keeps on delaying inspite of our repeated calls. I have seen him delivering our booked cylinders to hotels at a higher price. After around 10 phone calls and repeated beggings (whenever he passes on our road) we get the cylinder. I really want to know whether the cylinders are in demand or these middle men are playing a fool around. Kindly let me know and do the needful.

NON-DELIVERY OF GAS EVEN AFTER 13 DAYS OF BOOKING
DEAR SIR,
WE HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE GAS-CYLINDER DESPITE THE FACT THE BOOKING WAS DONE ON 09/02/2008 AT SRNO.391 BY SAJJAN GAS AGENCY ( AUTHORISED DEALER OF BHARAT GAS) AT HANSI. WE HAVE MADE REPEATED CALLS AND REQUESTED AT THE AGENCY - OFFICE FOR DELIVERY OF THE GAS CYLINDER.

*Wrong Entry by The delivery man named as Satya09.03.2007
** It is seen that the average consumption of a cylinder is the days from 24 to 26 days which in NORMAL for a family of five people including normal guest arrival.
*** It occurred almost at the time of apprehended increase of the tare by the Govt. and recently on the gossips and hearsay that
(a) The Distributor has no monitory capacity for the placement of Demand /booking timely ---on account of loosing his major Capital Money by investing to other source of earning the Floating Money,
(b) The Distributor is never allowed to have the Consumers speaking directly with him nor his e-mail address has been renewed to get available for reddressal of the Grievances,
(c) The Distributor worked hard in past as a owner of Van-Rickshaw and the License of the Dealership managed on the NAME of a HANDICAPPED one,
(d) The Distributor doing his social duty by supplying an amount to the local Hotel or Restaurant or for the vehicle owners or otherwise.
Now, whatever may be HE or HIS STATUS, you are requested to look into the matter and issue necessary Directives to the Distributor so that
(aa) The Distributor may be compelled to withdraw his VERBAL INSTRUCTION not allowing the Booking for fresh Cylinder within 14 days of being Empty,
(bb) The Distributor must accept the Booking for a fresh Cylinder as soon as gets it empty,
(cc) The Distributor can’t get authority to deny the fresh Booking at reasonable time-spell and
(dd)We, the domestic fixed earned people can get may get the supply to avoid the indebtness for purchasing the extra required amount GOOLS OR COKE and GUITHHA etc.

My consumer number is 17036. Since the phone numbers of the distributor 'GASJET' are not working, I had booked from ebharatgas.com on 29.01.2008 (ref no. 251477). When I enquired in person with the agency about the delay, I was informed that online booking is not considered and hence stands invalid. They logged a booking today (13.02.2008) and will deliver it after 18 days! We are gas less from yesterday. We even called the Kolkata regional service center, but no success. We have 2 cylinders, but due to the improper service of the agency both are empty. By any chance can we bring this irresponsible distributor to terms.
If the online system is not considered, why bharat gas is misguiding their consumers!

My consumer no. is 24042. I was trying to book the gas today i.e.13.02.2008 from my dealer at CR Park, New Delhi. To my surprise I was told that my connection has been blocked as I have not booked any gas in lat 124 days and now I will have to give an application along with copy initial connection paper.

This is very ridiculous policy. If in a family there are only two members and both working and also having two cylinders and one cylinder last for three to four months then where is the need of booking gas in every 124 days. Instead of praising such family for conservation of natural resources your company is penalizing them and harassing them by way of this new 124 days booking policy. In my view this policy should be scrapped.

I am Bharatgas Consumer Number 26123.
I am booking to online gas Cylender date 29/01/08 Ref. no. 251584 Name of Agency is MANVIR GAS AGENCY Delhi. but till date i have no supply of gas Cylinder. The Agency persion ignor online customer last three month.

i live in sector 8 faridabad.our bharatgas agency dealer,adlakha gas agency is in sector 9.the agency has 3 phone nos for costumers .each of them is inengaged mode whenever we try for booking gas.after hours of trying if anumber gets connected by chance,it is not attended.if you are very lucky and you are able to book your cylinder,then no delivery is made even after 10 days.this time also i booked cylinder 10 days ago but ihave not got the cylinder.please help

Milind Gas Service agency, Milind Market, Keshopur Vilage, New Delhi who have been appointed by Bharat Gas
1. is not supplying the gas cylinders on time,
2. giving false pretexts of short supply of gas cylinders,
3. its staff is misbehaving with customers who come to book their orders.
4. Normally they keep their telephone lines busy to avoid the customers
5. The last supply of gas cylinder to us was on 3rd Jan08 against our consumer number 219 and our request for another gas cylinder was thrice refused by refusing to write even the report
6. and on 28thJan, 08 their staff denied having refused us the supply and were seen refuting their customers like beggars
7. What claims of customer service can Bharat Gas make?

Our consumer number is 219 and we are registered to get the supply of cooking gas from Milind Gas Serveice, Milind market, Keshopur Village, Vikas Puri from the last 25 years. Last gas cylinder was supplied to us on 3rd Jan,08. We wanted to book another cylinder but the request was refused to register three times. On 28th Jan,08 the supply was again refused and the staff of Milind Gas Serveice was treating customers very disgracefully. The general residents of the area are not aware of any gas shortage and the gas dealer's men are seen supplying the gas cylinders on black marketing rates. But the gas cylinders remain in short supply for home cooking.

You are requested to correct this situation and please request your distributors to behave amicably with the residents who are asking for this basic life need from them on cost not as free service.

Complaint against : Mr. Manchanda
Dealer of H.P. Gas
Amba Market, Ambala City
Haryana (India)

Gas connection No. 3101 in name of Shyam Sunder Goel, R/o 1125-B-9, Kartar Nagar, Model Town, ambala City having double refils. One refil remained always empty for the last two years. IInd refil always been filled after atleast 10 days of emptying of the only refil available. Booking dated 07.01.08 not supplied till date. Both cylinder empty.
Detailed complaint to follow.

This complaint is about Bharat Petroleum Petrol pump (Company owned company operated RO) Pump in No.94, Velachery main road, Guindi, Chennai - 600032.

Staff of this pump cheat customer by engaging them in talks like credit card payment. While talking and asking about how much petrol you need (example Rs. 500)

one of them will clear the meter and start putting the petrol. You will just hear a click sound and the meter will show Rs.100. When asked why he had put only for 100, he will then reset the meter and put for 400.

This had happened couple of time to me! Growing suspicious, when I started arguing why the second person did not consult me before putting the petrol. They agreed to put for Rs.500 after showing the first reading for Rs.100. This confirms that no petrol went in for Rs.100 the first time.

Another thing I noticed is, though there are more than one petrol pump in this station they always keep only one open so that 2 or more attenders join in a single pump to divert the customer.

Customers watch out! Will BP take action??

Sundaram.

Dear Sir
In AJay Singh belonging to Vishwakarma colony lal kuan m.b road new Delhi from your dealer JWALA AGENCIES we are getting gas cylinders for 16 days . If we ask it for 10 days from your dealer WE WANT GAS CYLINDER immediately. Please solve this problem.URGENTLY

I am consumer of Indian Oil since 14th March 1983 and my LPG connection is 5406. I was rented when i had gone through with LPG facility and on 1st July i was shifted to my own home (117/Q/22 L.I.C. society Sharda Nagar, kanpur) and countinously i as getting gass services from Sat Sai Gas Services (shop No. 3, Lakhanpur, Gumti No. 11)
I booked my gass on 10th September 2007 but there was no delivery till 15th september 2007, on confirmation I got that my Gass Connection is transferred to Bhagwat Indian Gas (Shop No. 253 Near J.K. Mandir, Kanpur). When I asked to Sat Sai Gass Services that why my connection is transffered to Bhagwat Indian Gass whiout any prior information, but there was no statisfactory response. When i requested to Bhagwat Indain Gas to again transfer of my connection to Sat Sai Gass Service, the concern Manager has denied to do this.
The distance of sat Sai Gas Service from my home, is approx 1km and Bhagwat Indian Gas is on approximate 5km, and this is too inconvenient.
This is my humble request to you that kindly consider my problem and help us to shift that connection to previous Gass Service (Sat Sai Gas Services) provider.
