PROBLEM

1 Billing for the above Consumer has been erratic from December 2008.
2 The apartment was occupied only for a month in winter for the past 3 years
3 The apartment has been regularly occupied since June 2008
4 Billing for the period Feb 2008 – Dec 2008 was 49 Units
5 Billing for the period Sep 2008 – Nov 2008 was 182 Units
6 Billing for December 2008 was 2285 Units

COMPLAINTS AND STATUS

1 Since August 2008 to date, Mrs Meena Harisinghani has made about 20 visits to the MSEB offices (both the relevant technical and billing sections)
2 After repeated requests the meter was verified on 24 Nov 2008 and an OK given on the meter. The reading noted on that date was 02050
3 Despite the repeated visits to the office at Ganeshkind and after meeting Mr KEDARI at the billing section and Mr LAMGHE, NO EXPLANATIONS have been given as to how the billing has been done.
4 The Bill for December 2008 has come to 2285 Units and an amount of Rs 23, 240/-. This is absoulutely atrocious for a small family staying a 700 sq foot house with one geyser, one fridge, one TV, one mixie and a total of 8 bulbs in the house most of which are CFL bulbs with a 11 W or a 15 W rating.
5 A payment of Rs 2700/- has been done on 12 December 2009 so that at least on record, some payment has been made by the consumer.

REQUEST

The billing be checked and ratified and an explanation be given as to why the consumer has had this erroneous billing to her credit.

Dear Sir/Madam.

We are facing following problems regularly:
1. Frequent power failure since last two months.
2. No adhered schedule for power cut.
3. Voltage fluctuation causing to damage domestic appliances.
4. Affecting badly on students study due to erratic power failure.
5. Also today in the morning there is power failure due a blast in a DP nearby to our society but till now there is no action taken by your officials and your officials are not receiving phones viz. [protected]/[protected]Kharalwadi, Pimpri)
6. Ahead of this while paying bill we have to visit you office located at YCM, Sant Tukaram Nagar many times as they don’t have facilities like extra refill of Printers, Manpower etc. with negative replies.
7. If problem persists unnecessarily we have to take hard action against respective personals.

Sir,

Kindly let me know the billing unit for the consumer number :[protected].

Nanda Kishore.
I can absolutely understand what the above complainants must be going through in their attempts to have the powers that be at MSEB Pune register, investigate, and solve their problems related to billing. For the past month or so, my 83-year-old Father has visited the relevant MSEB office - we moved to Baner in Jan. 2009 - to register his complaint re. a bill for Rs. 4000 for (supposedly) just one month's usage! We are just three people - Father, 80-year-old Mother who is practically bed-ridden, and I - using only the regular domestic appliances similar to those mentioned in Smt. Shanta Devi Sharma's complaint given above. There are no children who might be "accused" of over-using electrical appliances or power supply which, in any case, as mentioned in Mr. Nissar K. Sutar's complaint - esp. Point #s 2 and 3 - is highly erratic, with frequent voltage fluctuation resulting in severe damage to some of the appliances. If there is no electricity available to use more often than not, how then can we "increase" our consumption of power supply?

Despite repeated calls/visits, to date, nothing has been done...My Father had a terrible time trying to convince the MSEB officer he spoke to that the meter reading had not been done correctly as my Father himself had checked to see what the actual reading was. After much argument, and much running up and down - something that is difficult for even a much younger person to do, le alone an 80 plus person, that too when suffering from severe pain in the left leg - the Officer said a person would be sent to "re-do the reading". The Officer also kept our Bill, saying an amended Bill would be sent to us. Not unexpectedly, we have not received the "new" Bill with the correct reading till now and are truly worried as to what atrocity the MSEB will commit next. There is absolutely no one else in our home who can do the running around required as I have to stay with my Mother at all times, leaving my poor Father no choice...how heartless can the MSEB be, especially where such elderly senior citizens are concerned???

How can the MSEB be allowed to harass so many innocent, law-abiding, tax-paying citizens of India just because they are not "well placed" enough to fight such injustice?
WE HAVE RENTED THE APARTMENT FROM NOVEMBER 2009 .TILL LAST MAY OUR BILLING UNITS WERE AS FALLOWS, FEB- 254, MAR-399, APRIL- 468, MAY-331, BUT IN THE MONTH OF JUNE ITS JUMPS TILL 1244, EVENTHOUGH WE WERE ABSENT FOR MORE THAN A MONTH IN OUR APARTMENT. AND AGAIN FOR THE MONTH OF JUNE ITS 835 UNITS.

dear sir,

this is to inform you that we are suffering problem due to the transformer installed in front of my flat which often generate spark which is dangerous and life threatening.this transformer lies in front of my balcony. if any wrong takes place then MSEB is solely and fully responsible for any accident occur due to this transformer.so this is my request and warning to MSEB PIMPRI to take adequate step regarding this issue as soon as possible.

Nature Of Complaint - Excess MSEB Bills

Dear Sir,
We are receiving MSEB bills for the month of February & March 2012 by an ascending order. The current bill is for R.S. 311.47/-. Actually minimum amount bills should come as we are not staying in the premises for which we receive bills, nor we have given the same on any rental basis. Gradually the bills have started coming by an ascending order. We wish to bring to your kind notice that as we are not staying in the premises, the question o[censored]sing or consuming units doesn't arive at all. The status of meter is shown as Faulty, which is absolutely absurd. If the premises is unoccupied, how can meter go ahead ? Instead, the meter is shown faulty. In the past. The bills will come in an ascending manner, the meter will be shown as faulty & finally supply will be cut. Is this not the way of harrasing & looting customer ? Eventhough paying the minimum bills regularly without any break, MSEB is looting us. How long this will continue & when we will get justice ?
