IFB Industries Complaints & Reviews

We have ordered a replacement of our faulty product on 09/04/2016. We were told the same will be done is 2-3 days. On tuesday, they sent a replacement, but the product was not the same but a different one. We were again promised replacement within 1-2 days but nothing happened. Nobody turned after that till day before yester. Yesterday morning i again called to make sure it gets delivered yesterday, as that was our last holiday for the week. I was promised that it will be delivered by evening along with demo but nothing happedned. I called in the evening and was given a number of the franchisee who didn't bother picking up the call. I called customer service again and i was assured delivery by 630 pm. I asked the customer service girl to call back to confirm after talking to so called technical team, she said she was not authorised and assured me to stay at home till 630 as it will be delivered by then and i will make sure that you don't have to call back for the same again. I postponed all my work to stay at home but to no avail. No one seems to be bothered to sort the issue. Pathetic customer service. We can't stay at home forever to see if IFB guys will come today and tomorrow and day after. But i guess your people don't care at all. First you sell faulty products and then the customer suffer forever for replacement. My cust id is 11378756. Complaint number is 17648294. Contact number is [protected] just in case you guys bother replying at all.

My request no is [protected].
I have requested for servicing of my AC on 7 th April but till date noone have attended my request.
I am disgusted at the service level shown by such a reputed company.

The technician repaired my washing machine and charged me for spare parts. He charged rs. 95 each for one kind of screw and rs. 65 each for another kind. When contacted customer care, they gave the contact number of some service manager who can confirm the actual price. Finally, i came to know that that i was charged 3 times the actual mrp.

When i contacted the franchise who sent me the technician initially, they said that the screws are not from ifb, and so they charged that amount. When i got serious about putting in third party spare parts without giving me information, they said that they are ifb screws.

The customer care isn't registering a complaint on call. I sent a mail, there's no response. I couldn't find any other escalation channel in their website.

I'm attaching the bill given by the ifb authorized franchise.

Ifb washing machine elena aqua vx - 6 kg which is under warranty stopped working. The matter was taken up with ifb vide complaint no 17617480. Dt:01.04.2016.(Customer id: 1037098) i have also given many remainders through internet and also through customer care . But till date (15.04.2016) the complaint is not settled except the visit of two different service engineers visited and assessed and promised rectification. Now no service engineers picking up phone. And the customer care is expressing sorry like recorded message.

April 17, 2016
(1) washing machine t2900.
(2) customer id 4385491
(3) complaint no. [protected] at 7:25 am dt. 12/04/2016.
(4) received a call from[protected] at 01:08 pm. We spoke for 2min.21secs. When asked, the caller said he was tripathi calling from datar services. He confirmed having received my complaint and said he will come or send someone by evening the same day.
(5) when no one came and no call till 11 am next day – 13th, i called the same number[protected] at 11:15 – mr ramakant took the call and informed me that mr tripathi had not reached the office till then. He said he’ll call when mr tripathi comes. After some time, he called me on my land line no. [protected] and handed phone to mr tripathi. I told him he had called on 12th and told me that my complaint would be attended same day but no one came. I was taken aback when mr tripathi told me he had not spoken to me and that he was not aware of my complaint! I took this impersonation/lie seriously and called shri yogesh khopkar who, i was told, is the owner of the franchise. I informed him of the incident and requested him to ensure that my m/c is attended on 13/04/16. After vigorous follow up mr yogesh informed me by sms at 5:15pm on 13/04/16 that the rubber sleeve was not in his stock and i have to wait maximum 3 days. I requested him to meanwhile see if same old sleeve can work after “remove and refit”. He smsed ok.
(6) after that there is no communication even after follow up. Then i kept calling cutomer care on [protected]/[protected]. Following are the details in reverse chronological order:
(7) - 16/4/16 @ 0812pm[protected]
- 16/4/16 @ 0149pm[protected]

(8) i have been trying to call ms mayuri patil, the area manager, ifb service today since 0200pm on her mobile number [protected] but unable to get through to her number – tried to call her 30-40 times since 0200pm today till she switched it off.
(9) please appreciate the fact that the rubber sleeve is lying twisted since 11/04/2016 and polymer chains of rubber get distorted if kept in that shape for long time.
(10) ifb must reward me as i reposed confidence in ifb when ifb was not known in the market. I continued with ifb annual maintenance till ifb decided not to renew amc of old m/c.

This is the worst service we have ever seen with any industry.
Today i have called the customer care twice, they said the complaint has been closed and requested to contact the technical team. Ramya or Mr.Gurumoorthy the head. Morning when i called mr Gurumoorthy at around 10.15, he said he will check and get back with the status of my complaint within half an hour. He dint turn up. I called back at 11, a lady picked the call this time stating he has gone out. She said a technician named prem will be attending and replacing the spare parts within today. I kept calling the same number several times. When i called at 5pm again the lady picked the call and said the person is stuck in a customer place and will close the issue today. Till now no calls nor no response. Never expected such an unethical behaviour from a senior person. Being given this number as the senior person and is to be contacted for escalation, the same customer support personal Ramya from the technical side is attending the call. Then why is it like the people share this number for escalation.

I would like to take the issue to the next level. Please help me out with the process of escalation.

The technical team did not even mind to call and inform about the delay.

We both are working professional and from the date of complaint registration have taken leave due this issue and stayed at home.

The worst experience i ever had.

the customer care should never route to MR. Gurumoorthy. He is a senior person and is no negligent. His negligent behaviour is unacceptable. If he is the point of escalation, and the same customer care personal attends his phone, where is the escalation process and how will the issue be resolved.

These people are very irresponsible.

Irritative IFB team.

Please help with the procedure to escalate at a higher level.

I am even ready to take legal action on this issue.

The service is not even worth it a rating 1.

is it not cheating to give a number of someone for escalation, which is actually of no use

One year back I am purchase IFB 1 T AC from M/s Texmo agencies, Mavelikara. According to my experience they are one of the bad service providers in this industry.
Two days back My AC compressor is not working. So I just inform this to Mr. Venu .Sales consultant of Texmo agencies, Mavelikara and same time register a complaint via IFB Customer care . Ticket number [protected]. But till the time no response against my complaint.
So just few minutes back I am contact Mr Venu and ask him about the status of my issue from the part of dealer. He shouted to me and used Vulgar language.
I am also works with Service industry. I know what is the power of a customer. I am totally dissatisfied with IFB service.

I bought a washing machine (ELENA Aqua vx 6kg 800RPM) one and half years back. From the date of buying the timer is not working properly and also washing qulaity is worst. i have been placing repeated complaints, but the customer care closes the complaint without my knowledge. This time a complaint was made on march 31st requesting for a senior technician to attend, but a junior person attended and said will forward to a senior technician. A senior technician name Pandiyan attended the same on 9th april and said the drum and the timer should be replaced, and the same will happen within a week. But today when i called IFB Tollfree, a fresh complaint was taken stating the previous complaint is cancelled. This happens always. Every time i call for address updation they dont take that request also. i have never seen such a worst service.

I uma maheswara rao purcahsed an ifb w/m on 30/03/2013 and got a problem and informed service center on 31/03/2016 and was given call no [protected] but there was no responce. Again i complained on 07/04/2016 and was given call no [protected] but there was no responce .My mobile numbers are [protected] and [protected].Please look into the issue and do me the needful.

Dear Sir,
This has reference to the Complaint made by us in connection with the non functioning of our washing machine under the Company name of IFB Washing machine.

Our complaint Numbers are -[protected], which was provided to us by the company customer care. On several occasions we contacted their toll free / customer care number from the date of our original complaint lodged on 21st of March 2016.

Two complaints have been registered already. The complaint id of the latest complaint is: [protected]. It has been more than a month since the first complaint has been registered and more than 3 days since the second complaint has been registered. We have not even received a phone call from IFB forget about a visit. This is utterly disappointing. Does it take a social media post or a consumer court complaint to receive a proper response?

It has been 24 days now that we have made a complaint (bearing no. [protected]) for replacement/repair of our IFB Microwave 30SC 3. After registering the complaint on[protected], we have been continuously following up with the Service Centre and also with the company's office at Kailash Complex, C-3, Vikroli (W), but to no avail. Our calls seems to have gone on deaf ears or the company I believe does not care.
Would like to see if IFB really cares for its customers once they purchase their products.
An agreeved customer.

IFB has been placed & recognized as a brand.. And when you buy a new appliance to ease out your daily chores you hope that investing in a brand would not disappoint you.
However, my experience with IFB is not very pleasant. I bought a new IFB Fully Automatic washing machine in January 2016 in Panipat, A week later I started facing problems, the water heater is not working from day 1. The system hangs in the middle of washing process. And the worst part, chrome paint came out like a sheet in a week's time!! this is not what you expect when u dig a hole in your pocket & invest in a so called "brand". We had launched a complaint to the installation guys from IFB, it has not been attended. Not happy. I hope my issue would be heard & resolved on priority basis to restore our trust in the brand.

Dear Sir,
This has reference to the Complaint made by us in connection with the non functioning of our washing machine under the Company name of IFB Washing machine.

Our complaint Numbers are .-[protected], [protected], [protected], [protected]. which was provided to us by the company customer care.On several occasions we contacted their toll free / customer care number from the date of our original complaint lodged on 21st of March 2016.

Note:Not only the poor response shown on a customer we wish to register here that a reply from the service department that our service will be only like this and you can do whatever you want to do.


Their reasons stating that the spare parts not available and financial year end account closing works have all been digested by us from 21st March, 2016. Mostly 22 days have been lapsed and even till date and time no positive step has been initiated.

so please help us to rectify the problem.we expect a good thing to happen.
