Hindustan Times Complaints & Reviews

I have been informed thro sms on 08.06.21 that my complaint has been
resolved but till date I have neither received my Coupons against
payment made for one year subscription of Hindusthan Times Newspaper.
On 8th June I have also been provided thro sms with verification Code
number of gift confirmation to share with the Executive. But till date
neither received Coupon nor gift as promised by Vendor. And your
Customer Care people are unable to provide with proper reply. It seems
your vendors are not under your control. if you are unable to provide
Coupon & gift, then just refund my cheque amount as I am not
interested to continue with Hindusthan Times since I had a very bad
experience with your Organization..
I find very poor service and your vendors are just cheating customer of Hindusthan times Newspaper.

Not received hindustan times news paper coupons after 2 months of payment

Dear Sir/Madam

I have epaper subscription for hindustan (hindi edition) w.e.f. 13/2/2021 for Rs. 399 i.e. 1 year subscription.

I am facing problem for reading the epaper on my tablet since it is asking for password. You are requested to deliver download e-paper password for availing the facility.

My user ID is [protected]@yahoo.co.in

Please expedite my grievances at the earliest.br...

I will start from the beginning, April 2017 I received a link from your association NIDHI GUPTA about shine.com and vacancy details in Australia.
After few minutes I get a call from your association pushing for a paid subscription and he promising a lot of things. She sound as genuine as one can be, and she pushing the word everytime that " Shine.com under hindustan times. It's a india no 1 job portal. you just pay the amount definitely you will get a job within one month."
I took the subscription after a lot of follow up by her and I thought that it was a right decision for my career. I paid registration fees then she told that now my relationship manager will contact with me who will help me in finding better opportunity. I was happy that time.
A relationship manager (Abhishek) called and after a few vague question he pitched another two product and coverced me to pay another payment. He telling me that without it he will not be able to help me. Again he used same word
" Shine.com under hindustan times. It's a india no 1 job portal. you just pay the amount definitely you will get a job within one month. I'm working last 10 years for Australia with shine.com, your profile so strong you will get a job definitely."
Then I pay almost around RS. 66000/- within 15 min.when I didn't get any job and any interview call from anymore then I call shine.com again and again but they didn't response my call.
After long time I register a complain in October 2017 at consumercomplaints.in and I complain also in consumerhelpline.gov.in(GRIEVANCE NO-738791 AND 645338) and I send again and again mail to shine.com and send hard copy of complain and my invoice via speed post but same as I didn't get any reply.
I wait more then 2 years for my job and as a jobless. That time I worked with cruise line because of this job I leave my cruise job.
Good thing is that I recorded call thats come to me and should you need to hear it yourself. I can send it across. I'm of the notion that many times the leadership is unknown of the tactics ground teams play hence I write to you in good faith hoping that you will help me out from here with the refunds. As I no more have confidence on shine.com and probably will do better of my own in job search. I have not availed a single paid service hence it should not be difficult.

I'm sure that you will help me.

Made my payment on 18th March, I was promised that I would receive the coupons n the gift in 21 days.

Was given the below tracking id, which is not trackable.

Bsa courier

Request you to deliver the coupon n Gift in 2 days else refund the amount.

Sir, My Name is Anil Kumar residing at Babarpur Shahdara Delhi-32. I had taken 15 months Hindustan Times English News paper scheme last year and I gave all coupon to my vendor Gopinath but due to Corona pandemic he delivered newspaper only for 3 months and after that he neither delivered news paper nor returned my remaining coupon. I complained about this to HT media Ltd. Then Area manager Sandeep phone no. [protected] called me on phone and said that my new vendor will be Guddu Shukla phone no. [protected] for paper delivery but after 3 to 4 months of paper delivery by Guddu Shukla Area manager has not given the duplicate coupon and vendor Guddu Shukla asking me for duplicate coupon. Please solve the issue which has arisen due to no fault of mine. I am feeling very much harassed. I am regular customer of Hindustan times for last 25 years. Please take necessary action in this regard.

On[protected] paid Rs 550/- thru debit card to your exceutive who had contacted me on my mobile no [protected]. Coupans not recd contacted several times your office Mr Rakesh([protected]) and Mr. Gokul([protected]). Had been scbscirbing your paper from long back. In deep agony for your cheating and non responsiveness.A sense of helplessness is causing more torture than monetary loss as never even imagine that a news paper of repute has started doing such things

I have applied for hindustan annual subscription successfully, through a newspaper distributer in sector 57 gurugram. My registered mobile no is [protected].

I am not receiving newspaper from past 4 days. I have also talked the distributor at least 5 times for this. I only got excuses and tells that next day you will receive it. But they are false commitments. Now the person has stopped receiving calls.

Please look into the matter, otherwise I now hope I shouldn't have applied for your annual subscription.

I was shown "Wonderchef Water Bottle with copper bottom" as GIFT along with subscription of "HT + MIN COMBO @ 1998" on 21st Feb'21 (Booking form no:[protected]/Dated:[protected]

Though i had been subscribing HT for last 4-5 years, this time I upgraded the scheme to COMBO- since the GIFT would have been o[censored]se to me. Hence the sales person, came to my residence on 21/2/21, filled up application form online, asked my to provide verification code from my mobile and completed the online application, . He also mentioned that "WonderChef Water bottle" GIFT and Subscription coupon will be delivered later,

However, to my surprise - the GIFT shown to me was not received and instead REVLON Makeup GIFT SET was sent - Which nobody in family uses. hence I again complained on 13/03/2021 with complain no:[protected] but was closed unilaterally, without any response, on 19/03/2021.

I again tried to call help centre but till now there is no resolution of the issue of sending me "wrong gift" instead of" Wonderchef Water bottle" which was shown to me by sales guy.

Hence i have decided to terminate my subscription - as there is no chance for correcting mistakes from Hindustan Times side. I am still awaiting cancellation proceeds from HT till date. As it stands, neither cancellation of subscription/refund nor resolution of wrong gift issue.

Hello & Greetings:

I was going through the news and found that there is absolutely incorrect information provided without checking any facts.
The loan borrower name is mention as Manoranjan Sondhi whereas the person who did the fraud is equal party to the loan and still why only Mr Manoranjan Sondhi's name is written:

Received coupons are wet with liquid badly and printing has erased and not even able to separate.
