[Resolved]  Reliance Energy — Electricity Bills SCAM

ACCOUNT NUMBER[protected]
Bangur Nagar - Goregaon west, Mumbai.

There has been a lot of commotion lately relating to excessively high electricity bills received by Reliance energy consumers however nothing seems to have concluded so far as the consumers are still being overcharged to an unbelievable extent.

Our average monthly electricity of my apartment used to be in the range of 1300 to 1800 rupees, until reliance decided to change our electricity meter in June09. Ever since the electricity bill has shot up to horribly high figure of Rs 5900/- per month. Despite non usage of A/C in the monsoon month, the figure is still close to 3000/-. Reliance complaint office is not ready to take the complaint as they believe there is nothing wrong or unusual with this sudden rise in billing amount immediately after the meter renewal.

There are thousands of complaints registered in Mumbai regarding this matter through various channels or medium, but so far no one seems to taken a note of this. Even our over active media who usually does not miss an opportunity to cover even irrelevant remarks by celebrities or minister, does not find it to be an issue worth giving coverage on their news channels, which ascertains Reliance influence / pressure on the media / press.

Unfortunately electricity being such an essential necessity cannot be lived without, and under the circumstances the charges imposed cannot be afforded. Deferring the payment of electricity bills hoping to receive corrected charges, results in receipt of warning letter from Reliance threatening disconnection of power. We all are waiting for some commanding organization to take up this issue and support the average helpless public.

Unfortunately we have no choice but to use Reliance energy as our electricity provider, but otherwise we have decided to boycott all other reliance products in future as our faith in Reliance as an institution has shattered. I hope many more will follow the suit soon. After they stripped the govt with reliance communication cam, its the normal public they are aiming at)

GOD BLESS DHIRUBHAI AND RELIANCE AND GIVE THEM SENSE TO REALISE WHAT HAVOC THEY ARE CAUSING (THEY NEED IT )
