Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] Complaints & Reviews

Our dealer is Radharaman Gas Services & my Consumer No. is 1436. The regulator became defective in January, 2008 & after lodging a complaint it has been replaced with an old one. I have been requesting the dealer for the last 8 months but the old regulator is not yet replaced. Yesterday(9.10.08) the old regulator stopped functioning and I have dialled[protected] for help. The person on duty has assured to come but did not turn up till 9.00 pm. When contacted he flatly refused to attend, did not tell his name and behaved rudely (You may go & complain anywhere against me, you can't do anything). I shall be grateful if you could kindly arrange to replace the regulator with a new one. It is causing great inconvenience & dangerous too.

Dear Sir,

CONSUMER NO. 1850 – NON DELIVERY OF CYLINDER AND RUDE BEHAVIOUR OF MANAGERS/STAFF/ DELIVERYMAN AT VERMA GAS AGENCY, MANDAVALI, DELHI-110092.

I am writing this e-mail with great anguish and disappointment. SUPPLY FOR THE BOOKING DONE ON 23.09.2008 HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED TILL 10.10.2008.

I am an Indane consumer (Consumer No. 1850). Earlier I was getting LPG gas through M/s. Roop Gas Agency, New Kondli, Delhi. But to my utter dismay one fine morning when I wanted to book the LPG cylinder, I got a terse reply that I was no more registered with M/s. Roop Gas and that I should contact M/s. Verma Gas Service. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE TO ME.

I had no contact numbers of M/s. Verma Gas Service. Hence I had to run from pillar to post to get the contact numbers of your distributor M/s. Verma Gas Agency for booking LPG Cylinder. After toiling for quite some time I was able to get the contact numbers of the above said distributor. However, my experience with the said Agency has not been a memorable one.

SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO REGISTER MY BOOKING FOR LPG CYLINDER WITH VERMA GAS AGENCY ON 23.09.2008. HOWEVER, EVEN ON 10.10.2008 THE LPG CYLINDER HAS NOT YET BEEN DELIVERED TO ME. I am constrained to say that the attitude and behavior of all at Verma Gas Agency is far below than what is desired of a public service organisation. The rude behavior of the booking clerks, the very irresponsible and go to hell attitude of the supervisors/proprietor (SPECIALLY ONE MR. PRAMOD DIXIT) was shocking. When I contacted the agency, the booking clerk tersely informed that the booking had been done and that I should either go to their godown for getting the LPG Cylinder or contact one Mr. Ram Sagar on Mobile No. [protected] or check with the Deliveryman.

Unfortunately, the Mobile No. [protected] is perpetually switched off and the deliveryman Mr. Lokesh seems to be in complete control of the affairs at the Varma Roop Gas Agency. He is in a habit of entering in arguments with the consumers, using abusing language, delivering the underweight cylinders and providing LPG Cylinders to unauthorized persons for a higher price. THIS DEFINITELY SMELLS OF A DEEP NEXUS BETWEEN THE DELIVERYMAN AND THE MANAGERS AT THE VERMA GAS AGENCY.

The result is that the honest and genuine consumers are being harassed by all at the said Varma Gas Agency. YOU CAN APPRECIATE THE PLIGHT OF A CONSUMER WHO HAS DONE THE BOOKING ON 23.09.2008 AND HAS NOT RECEIVED THE LPG CYLINDER TILL 10.10.2008. This is all despite the fact that in my neighbourhood delivery for booking done on 03.10.2008 has been effected on 04.10.2008.

On 04.10.2008 I tried to reason with Mr. Pramod Dixit on the issue but he was not at all willing to listen. He was very discourteous, rude and the only reply that he gave was that he will check the status of the booking EVEN THOUGH TO HIS own ADMISSION THE DELIVERY WAS BEING EFFECTED THE SAME DAY AND THERE WAS NO QUEUE FOR delivery of cylinders which was being effected the same day. Again on 08.10.2008 I contacted Verma Gas Agency and the reply was the same that I should go to the godown or contact Mr. Ram Sagar on Mobile No. [protected] (which was again constantly switched off).

I am bringing the above to your kind notice with a fervent hope that my grievances will be redressed expeditiously and suitable action would be taken against the erring Gas Agency and its proprietors/employees.

Kind Regards

I was refused by the Distributor M/s Bhushan Indane Service, to issue new connection without Ration Card, I contacted Rajkot Area Manager Mr P Katkar, and he talked to distributor to give new connection which I got on 22.11.2007.
Now they are harrasing by not booking cylinder and DBC. I tried to book thru' IVRS, but they are not giving delivery, saying that your connection is cancelled because you dn't have ration card. I Emaild my problrm to Mr P katkar (Area Manager rajkot) and Mr K Kutty ( Manager Mumbai office) but no responce from any one.

Sir,

The distributor of Indane LPG M/S Maa Majhi Gouri Indane at Rayagada ( Orissa) is not at all supplying the refill gas cylinders intime.I have to visit his office more than 8 to 10 times to request him. After a regular struggle I hardly get a refill cylinder after long gap of the booking date and the distributor does not accept the next booking till 21 days of the supply. So I get a refill cylinder once in a minimum gap of 50 days. So most of the times my family have to take fooding from Hotel.You must be understanding my problem in kitchen. Wherease in Rayagada there are more than 5000 hotels / road side stalls/hostels where the non commercial LPG of 14.2 kgs are consumed @ one cylinder daily per hotel. The hotels are getting easlily refill cylinder for comercial purpose wherease I hardly get a cylinder. I would therefore request you to be kind enough to take up the matter & make me available refill cylinders at my home in time by the Distributor. Expecting an early response.Thanking you.

I applied a new Indane Gas Connection about 3 months before i.e. 15th May, 08 because i shifted in Gurgaon from Delhi. In Delhi i resided in a Hostel so i have no Connection of any company. After lapse of 3.5 months the supplier in Gurgaon is not considering my application and said that it would take 3 months more. How can a company justify so much delay in new connection. While the Patroleum Minsiter is saying that connection is open but at the same time Distrubutor which is Mata Sheetla Gas Service is refusing for new connection. Please solve my complaint otherwise i would take the legal step to sought out the problem.

DEAR SIR,
MY GAS CONSUMER NO.6585. I HAVE BOOKED FOR REFIL BE FORE 55 DAYS. I HAVE NOT RECEIVED TILL. IS IT TOLERATABLE .

KINDLY ARRANGE TO SPEED DELIVERY

I have booked the gas on 19th September 2008 with Venkatasai Gas Agencies, Jubilee Hills, Hyderabad and followed up again several times . Today is 5th October 2008 but i am waiting for Cylinder. I am calling the agency from last 3-4 days 3-4 time daily but always they tell that your cylinder is on the way and you are going to get it within 1-2 hours. I don't know what type of person have got the gas agency to provide this type of poor service to consumer.
I think black marketing is going on so we are facing this type of problems.Could you please enquire about it?

I am totally frustrated with the service.
