but my local Indane gas dealer refuse my booking & not give me delivery.
Dealer Name- Balotra Gas Service, Phone No. [protected].

Dlayy in Gas Delivery
I have Booked a Gas Cylinder on 9/3/2011 on web . My consumer no. is 12235. Every time, I visited the agency, it was told that the gas cylinder will be delivered tomorrow. But till date I did not get the cylinder.

Connection Number 13104 o[censored]rvashi Enterprises Gurgaon.

Leak reported with smell in kitchen . No action inspite of 3 reminders spread over 7 days. When smell became very intense , reported matter afresh to Urvashi Agency on April 12. 2011. Over 3 hours later, there is no response.

Shameful service for a complaint with serious consequences.

Sending a separate complaint to Chairman IOC as well.

Dear Sir/Madam,

This is to complain you that I am observing since a long time that partially filled Gas cylinder is supplied to me. This time I weighed the cylinder and I found that there is loss of 4 KG gas. Now the total weight is 27 kg which should be 31 kg. Please do the needful because many consumer facing this problem.

Description:
I asked the attendant to fill Rs 1000 petrol. I came out of the car and looked at the meter reading. He distracted me and finally showed a zero on the pump meter.
Immediatly, he distracted me by pushing the bill and some Indian Oil card which had no meaning.

I realized that he had reset the meter reading to Rs 1000, though it was zero litres in the quantity. I was CHEATED.

I don't know as how to fight back as what is the proof.................I already had some petrol in the car prior to filling.
The CAR fuel reading also showed that the petrol was filled only for Rs 500 and NOT Rs 1000.

COMMENT: I realized at the pump itself and even spoke to the attendant that the quantity is less.
However, I did not shout as I thought that I could be wrong.

BUT I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT EVEN IF YOU FIND SLIGHT ISSUE, PLEASE SHOUT AT THEM AND CREATE A SCENE. THIS WOULD ONLY SOLVE THE ISSUE IF EVERYONE STARTS FIGHTING AND DO NOT GIVE THEM BENEFIT OF DOUBT.


I am writing at this Forum. I know my post would be helpful for the fellow members who would get cheated in future and would search for related information.

However, is the Consumer Forum or any other Agency looking at these POSTS?????????
OR, are we just venting out without any GAIN?

Dear Mr. Pankaj ,


I am trying to take your appointment through phone , visits to Indian Oil office for past one week . have failed miserably . I am writing to seek a solution from you as all the limits have been crossed .


My Plight : I want to take a gas ( LPG ) connection for myself and even after having all the valid proofs as mentioned on your website , I am not provided with one because of prejudice best know to IOC


My Ordeal


It was outright frustrating experience dealing with these two people mentioned below ( basic courtesy demands I write gentlemen but both are far away from these words, I am afraid )

Actually I am in shock and at loss of words that such work shying and indolent people ( your Employee, Mr. Amarjit Singh , board outside his room says ( Customer Service Cell ) and Brig Mohli , Agency owner of Farid Gas agency , Manimajra ) people exist in today’s society .

One ,employee of One of the Gems of Indian Industry and the other , I am ashamed to know that he served Indian Army at one point of time and you gave this man ur company’s agency !!!!!!!

Such Bad words like , ‘ Tum Bhaiyon ( people from UP / bihar) ko hum connection nahin denge “ , “tum apne gharon mein logon ko ek ek kamra kiraye pe deke connection mangne aa jate ho” “ hamein pata hai apka , apke baap ke naam 4 connection chal rahe hain “ were used against me and my family on MY face . please get hallucination check of such people as they are not fit to represent ur company


I felt so harassed and never knew till that day that I had to be of a particular community to take a LPG connection of Indian Oil . that I will take it separately by filling a complaint against the agency owner who said this and your employee who sent me there .


I stay in Chandigarh and wanted a gas ( lpg ) connection for myself . On visting the IOC office 0n 04.04 2011 and requesting a meeting with Mr Pankaj Mathur , I was seen as I have asked to meet Sonia Gandhi ( yes that the expression of something impossible for a common man ) nevertheless she told me to to to a room called Customer Servcie / grievance cell. On going there I met Mr Amarjit Singh and informed him that I want to take a connection and he gave me a chit mentioning “ Brig Mohli , For issue of n/c “.

My 5 visits from 4/4/11 till 9/4/11 did not yield any result as the above mentioned man was never available .

Finally on 9/4/11 I got a chance to meet him and out rightly he said he will not issue a connection , I told him I am meeting him with ref of a message from Mr. Amarjit Singh and he started off “ , “tum apne gharon mein logon ko ek ek kamra kiraye pe deke connection mangne aa jate ho”


I said that’s not the case , I stay in a 3 bed room , first fllor of a 500 sq yard house . I have all the valid proofs , passport , telephone bills etc . and he should issue me a LPG connection .
To which he shouted “ hamein pata hai apka , apke baap ke naam 4 connection chal rahe hain “

To which I also argued in high tone voice that he should tell me the number of connections running on my father’s name . at this instance he and his sons started pushing me hitting me . the people present in the agency somehow saved me .

Sir , it seems ur company is being represented by SUCH BADMASH people and BADMASH employees who in connivance with such people for reasons best know to you .

I assume this feedback will be dovetailed to help you improve ur processes in long run and you will take appropriate action against the erring people as mentioned above .

Awaiting your reply on action taken by u after complete probing done by you


I am submitting that in case you find it not worthwhile to reply to my mail , I will be forced to forward it to consumer welfare groups , print media so that they help me to world also gets to know what harassment a common man goes through while just to take a new LPG connection of IOC .

DEAR SIR,
my complaint against MAA BAMLESHWARI GAS AGENCY using his monopoly very badly in the city. where nowadays all the distributors giving services to the customer at phone and deliver the cylinder to home.he wanted a queue in his door step in the front of main road which is very harmfull. I saw a long queue in front of his door of agency every day he is a single distributor in the town so people are helpless. many more things i heared from the people but not discussable in network.but i really think there is a hierarchy support of indian oil to him so he can do such thing. wish son this msg reach to doable person & might they think to resolve this issue.

My self Sujeet Kumar residing at Faridabad.My consumer no. is MM16585. I am facing lot of problem with delay in supply of the LPG cylinder from distributor Mohan & Mohan, Sector-34, Faridabad last 3 to 4 months. They also not consider the delay period for next booking. Due to which I am facing problem. I have two Phone number of the dustributor[protected] &[protected] but no one picking the phone to get the status of the supply.

being an honest citizen of this country, i think i have the right to know that when there is a stipulated time for gas delivery at homes then why it is not being done in that particular period of time?? at this situation where should we go to sort out our trouble which we face due to unavailability of gas cylinder at home. as people from the middle class group cannot afford daily lunch or dinner outside, therefore some strict measure is being required for us. Hoping that this menace should be considered soon. the consumer number is 14334 from bairahna branch allahabad.
thanx

TO..whomsoever concerned
Sir.My name is Dileep Pandey and I m a resident of Village kharara, Ambedkar nagar district,Post- semri,tehsil-Bhiti. Sir, I have duly applied for a new gas connection to my residence and have fulfilled the required formalities. When I enquired about the procedure in getting the new connection , the concerned official said to pay a sum amount of Rs.4430/- with a new gas burner or Rs.3600 without it.They said that a receipt of Rs.2600/- will be provided while the rest amount of Rs,1000/- will be taken as bribe.So I want the procedure to be carried out for getting my connection for which i will pay the required charges. And I would also like the concerned authority to check in modus operandi of these corrupt officials.

Sir,

We are residents of Greater Noida, Sector Gamma -2. We all are facing very difficulty to the very poor and bad service of the Kasna Indane Gas Service, Greater Noida. They are giving the cylinder after booking of 25 - 30 days. The most important matter is nobody is not response well and the phone is 24x7 busy and no phone of concerned officials for complaining this matter. Sir please help the residents of Greater Noida because we have only one gas agency here and nobody will not give their cylinder for helping the neighbour because the booking gas will reach after one month.

With regards

Dear Sirs,

I filled up Diesel for my car yesterday at Pathy & Co,Indian Oil Dealers Pallavaram for
Rs.500. I noticed the meter reading cover was dirty and not too visable. Since was in a hurry to get to work at the Airport, I just glanced at the meter and thought was alright.
However, noticed that my dashboard meter was very slow in moving. When I reached the Airport, noticed the level of diesel on the dashboard meter, was only half of the normal. (If I fill for Rs.500, the level will go beyond quarter). But the level shown was only half of the normal level.
I very sure that the pump was altered and they are cheating everyone.
Kindly check on this.

There is a strong leakage of gas from the new cylinder supplied by Shree Bajrang Indane Gas Supply, Sonari, Kagalnagar, Jamshedpur.

When the complaint was lodged they reported that it will be attended within 10 minutes but still after 2 hours no one has reached my residence. On calling back they said that their mechanic has left their office and will attend the call when our time comes in the queue.

If gas leakage is treated as an ordinary call then what is the safety norms that Indane is following. I have been also advised by the supplier that I should remove the cylinder to the outside and wait till their mechanic arrives. What I would like to know who will compensate me for the gas loss and also for the security of the cylinder.

I request you to kindly take the necessary action and give us proper solution at the earliest, though I know that this whole issue of writing this complain is futile for no one bothers to even look into such case from your end too.

Hi,
On 18th November 2010, I took a Indiane cooking gas connection from Radha - Krishna Indane, wanawadi, Jambhulkar Chowk, Pune - 411040. Below are the details:
Card Serial No – 730712
Consumer No. – 13714
Sv. No. & Date – [protected] / 18/11/10
No. Of sylinders – 2
Customer’s Name – Tejaswini Gaikwad
Address – S.No. 57/7, Azad Nagar, Wanawadi, Pune
Issuing Company – IOCL
Issuing date 18/11/2010
I got my house shifted to Hijewadi, Pune. On 24th March 2011, Radha Krishna Indane gas agency gave me "Transfer Termination Voucher" and informed me that I will continue getting the service from Guruprasad Indane Gas Agency located at Survey No.41/2, Chintamani Nagar Pune.
Guruprasad Indane Gas Agency at Aundh informed us later that they will not accept the trasfer document as they provide the service only till Wakad area and do not cover Hinjewad. Guruprasad Indane Gas Agency also asked us to surrender the connection and take HP or Bharat gas connection.
If I would have known that Indane gas do not provide services to all the locations in India, then I would have never taken a connection from it. Our 1st cylinder is already empty and we are running our second cylinder. I have 4 people at my house & if the second cylinder gets empty, then it will be a very bad experience.
Request you to suggest as to what action need to be taken to get this issue resolved?
Yours Sincerely,
Tejaswini A Gaikwad

Tel:[protected]

Date: 01/04/2011
Bill No.: 538831

This petrol pump tried to cheat by distracting me while filling fuel in my car. On request to fill Petrol worth Rs.1000/- the attendant stopped at Rs.200/- claiming that i had requested for only Rs.200/- and questioned me about the credit card that I was going to make payment with. In the mean time 2-3 attendants came to my window and blocked my view of the meter. In the course of the conversation they told me that to complete my request for Rs.1000/- they would fill additional Rs.800/-. This time he did not show me the meter reading before he begun to fill fuel. On completion my credit card was charged for Rs.1000/- and a bill was issued.
I was suspicious that the fuel gauge did not indicate that 15.8 liters had been filled hence I turned around and went back to the attendant questioning them about the quantity of fuel dispensed. On realizing that i had comprehended the situation; the attendant agreed to fill fuel for an additional Rs.200/- before i could raise an alarm in front of the other customers. They apologized for the incident claiming oversight.

Hope to bring this incident to the attention of all motorists who travel alone and are easy targets of fuel attendants. My presence of mind and quick think helped me over come this situation without any loss.

Request you to take up such incidents through your able committee.

Thank you
Regards

Ashley Fernandes
