Mahadiscom / MSEB / MSEDCL Complaints & Reviews

Sorry I sent a previous complaint with my company name, rather than the name of the company I want to register the complaint against, and with spellings corrected.

I am a resident of Dapoli taluka, district Ratnagiri, and what to bring to your attention a possible corruption / fraud scandal.
Recently we were hit by Cyclone Phyan and had an electric outage for almost 10 days and still counting in Dapoli.

Shameful to say that electricity was restored to one of our neighbor within a day of the cyclone, while the remaining city was left in dark.

Supposedly the neighbor is a civil SERVANT/OFFIICER of the board..name undisclosed. Will let you know even that when I know this. He stays in Yogini apartment - Dapoli.

People had to organise a morcha to have electricty restored. Unfortunately, my community had no one to run after the officers and hence we are still facing the black out.

Just a note to this..I work in US and I know that after Hurricane Katrina electricity was restored to New Orleans in a Day. And belive me New Orleans might be a 1000 times bigger than Dapoli, and Katrina a 1000 times stronger than Phyan.

If this makes sense as to what I am trying to say, and if someone educated could understand this, then do something about it.

Otherwise, we would some day say that we are not at all proud to be INDIANS!!!

And you say you provide service!!!

Thankyou.. I am trying to get this to the press.

Hi ,

I am staying in Somwar peth Pune , Whenever the rain comes , our electric lines goes off , From last so many years i am complaining about this but nobody is bothering .Whenever i called up call center people they told me that the cable which provide electricity to your area is from British time and its very old , so if rain come they it becomes faulty so i told why are you not changing the cable , But they are not giving any reply .From last week because of heavy rain my electric current goes off all the time but they are not doing any action , in fact because of poor quality in electric voltage my freeze and compute goes off .I don’t know whom to approach .As they are not bothering.

Sub: Regarding Electricity Line over our under construction residence.

Sir,

Myself, RAMJI .C. TIWARI, currently staying at Pasthal, Near Siyaram Bldg. I have started construction work on my Plot at Pasthal, but right over the working area there is electricity line hanging which can cause to any accident over there. So, I kindly request u to arrange to remove that line from that plot. As that line is taken for Gharat Wadi (Mr. Chandrakant Gharat).

You are requested to please take this issue seriously & get the problem solve immediately. As our construction work is getting affected due to that.


Thanking you,
Yours Faithfully,

Dear Sir,

I am Sulakshana Maitra, a resident of B2- 501, Nagras Estate, New D.P Road, Aundh, Pune- 411007. I have been a resident of this flat since 1st May 2008 and am staying here till date. I am an MBA student staying in this flat as a tenant along with 6 other female students.

This mail is with regards to the meter reading of our flat. From the past month, our electricity bill has been coming exorbitantly high compared to the previous bills we had paid. On an average till the 23rd of August, our bill had been coming as Rs. 800 to Rs. 900. The bill for the month of July- August was of Rs. 1210/- which seemed extremely high for us. Just for your reference, below mentioned are the electricity appliances we use:

1. 5 ceiling fans out of which we use 4 for more than 16 hours.
2. 5 tube lights of the same usage as above.
3. 2 instant geysers that are used for 2 hours at the max.
4. 7 laptops that we charge for an average of 5 to 6 hours.
5. 1 electric kettle that is used for a few max. 5 minutes per daily
6. 2 internet modems used for max. 5 hours daily
7. Small home appliances such as hair dryers and chargers which is used rarely.

These electric appliances had been used by us since the date of our stay here in this flat, and as mentioned earlier, the maximum bill amount was Rs. 1210/-. However the last month that is from 23th August to 24th September our bill amount suddenly rose to Rs. 2480/-. We understand that the unit price has increased. However, I don’t think that it has increased to such a great deal that our bill would rise so high. This is of the period when the Swine Flu break was on. Therefore sir, please understand how can we receive such a high amount?

Please understand the fact that sir, we are students and we cannot afford to pay such high amounts. The MSEB officials of the office near our place is not supportive and deny the fact that there can be some fault with our meter. From 27th of September till today, that is the 9th of November, the units consumed, as per some of the engineers who visited us, is 456 units. The next bill that is due, will also have our vacation period of 1 week.

It is our humble request sir, that please help us in this matter. I do not feel anyone apart from you is the right person to hear our concern. Please understand that we are students and we also get limited money from home, and if we have to pay almost Rs. 500/- for electricity bill, it becomes very difficult for us.

I hope you will atleast hear our concern and help us on this. Waiting for a positive response.

My Consumer No.[protected], Meter No.00226420. I had already lodged the 2/3 times complaint about my stop meter in writing. My meter is stopped working. On your Electricity bill it is shown that meter is faulty showing reading 1862. pl look into this matter & change or repair my meter as early as possible.
Thank you.

Hello,
We have recently shifted to our New Flat in A3-303,Park Island, Shastri Nagar,Yerwada,Pune-411006. But in the first electricity bill itself the Surname has been misspelled as RAVAT, correct Surname is RAWAT. I went to the Shastri Nagar MSEB customer facilitation centre but the response that I got is very humiliating. Firstly as per them the Name CANNOT be changed - Is it my fault that the MSEB person has entered my Surname...

Dear sir/madam
In last 4 years our average electricity consumption was 90-110 units. We have been shifted to this new address in August 2009. Bill for month of August(units 42) was right. But for month of september bill shows 155 units. We have 3 tubes, TV and refrigerator. This bill is too high than our actual electricity usage.

We would like to request for checking of electricity meter.

I am LT consumer of Dombivli West My Consumer No[protected] Billing Unit no 4167. My Electricity Bill For the month of OCTOBER 2009 i got at home. But Mahadiscom Site still showing i.e on 3/11/2009 SEPTEMBER 2009 bill.That is why i am not able to pay online payment.If these people is not updated time to time then what is the use of all this.
For this the site shows one Telephone no.[protected]. but nobody pick up the phone so where i launch my complaint? this is very rediculos.

I am residing in Kothrud Area. My consumable units for the period 23/9 to 23/10 is 186 units and according MSEB's calculator provided on its website it comes to 703.00 and the bill is showing 850.00. I am a regular bill payer so could not expect like this kind of things. This is first time i am receiving this kind of amount in bill. And in last month for 2 weeks i was on diwali vacation to my hometown still how come it is showing this amount o[censored]nits consumed. I want investigation of this thing at MSEB and in our society as in society few people's are aware how to use other's electricity. My society address is Shivnandan Housing society, left bhusari colony, paud road, pune 38.

On October 28th morning, a sudden rise in the voltage at Mayur Classic Building, Bhoir Colony, Chinchwad, Pune was noticed. A complaint was lodged with MSEB, they worked on some connections and it is assumed that the fault is repaired. However, due to sudden rise in the voltage a number of eqiupments in the building were damaged. In my house alone following household equipments are damaged.

1. Refrigerator
2. Washing machine
3. Water purifier

Some equipments in the neighbourhodd were also damaged.

The service provider should pay for for the damage for the negligence in the service.
This sudden rise in high holtage can lead to accidents as well.

Best regards,
Dr. Yogesh Saraf

Dear Sir,
My C.No –[protected]
I have no current in my house at Plot-5, Road-3, Sector-12, New Panvel (East) since 7 PM on 15th October 2009 till now. There was power in all nearby houses. As there is a frequent power cut in my area, we were not able to identify whether it was a powercut or failure.
I have experienced similar problem in the past also due to loose connection of the terminal hooked to the Mini Pillar busbar instead of providing a cable lug and firm bolting by MSEB.
Please do the needful and pass on necessary instructions to provide cable lug with bolting arrangement in the busbar in the Mini Pillar.

Thanking you

Madhaya Pradesh Electricity Board MPEB - Good for nothing rotting governmental white elephants

Fatal Power Fluctuation Burning Equipments

Good for nothing rotting governmental white elephants

This place is called Bhopal in the state of Madhya Pradesh in the country of India. The locality is Sarv Dharma Colony, Kolar Road in Bhopal.

Tortured is me and torturing is governmental white elephant called M P Electricity Board, along with is various other governmental cousins and sisters who are named differently.

I remember the day when a telephone connection look 10 years to materialize in this place, not because the telephones were rare but because the telephones were provided by a good for nothing governmental white elephant called Post and Telegraph (P & T) department. Then finally some late thinker kicked them in the butt and new good for something people were invited and the problem of phone connection is virtually gone with a number of choices.

And now some one must kick the people running the electricity in India largely, another good for nothing governmental white elephants called electricity boards who can only do such thing: They can not produce enough power though there is enough raw materials and plenty of demand because they are sluggish governmental white elephants. What ever they produce they can not distribute properly. They can not charge for the electricity they distribute because there own people take bribe for unauthorized connections and for "look aways". They cannot maintain the power lines because the money they are given for maintenance is corrupted out to slick themselves between the legs.

Finally to kick these white elephants one should hit them hard on their butt so that they vacate the place for good for something people who can rescue our lives.

(probably). Paying for the electricity is all right but if you get burnouts after paying out then it is a different matter.

No you ask me why I am telling you all this because almost every day I am loosing equipments worth more than my monthly bill of electricity like adapters, speaker systems, desk phones and any other equipment using non smps power supply. It is happening due to voltage fluctuation in a locality of 5 lacs, not a village. I know I can do nothing about it.

I do not know how many motors villagers are burning out. No wonder these governmental white elements don’t dare in villages otherwise they shall be taught a lesson in no time.

Arise someone and kick these white elephants in their butt.
