Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] Complaints & Reviews

I am the Indane Gas for my domestic use with the cust number 40254.The distributor is Ranee Enterprises of 44,Perumal Nagar,2nd street,Madipakkam,Nanganallur 600061 of Kancheepuram dist. The Indane gas is leaking everytime when we switch on the gas.I had tried to complaint to the distributor right from 3.30 PM but the phones are not lifted.After repeated failure to access the distributor i tried to contact the emergency telephone numbers given in the gas receipt on the back side .But to our agony the land phone is kept engaged and the mobile is switched off.The numbers are land :[protected] and Mob : [protected]..If in case these numbers are wrong it should have been updated..What is the remedy for such emegencies are not known to public.

Hi!

I have booked for refill for LPG on 3/06/11 and have not yet got it (today being 20/6/11)
Tried to get the status from the IVR but it said that the booking was done on the 3rd of June and all deliveries have been cleared till 11/6/2011, but I have not got any delivery. Tried to make new refill request but the system is not allowing.
In the mean time tried calling up the distributer - Ananth Gas Agency the entire day yesterday but the number is either busy or someone there picks the receiver and keeps it back.

Also tried to complain on Indane Gas Toll Free number at [protected]. but when after hours of attempts got connected. The person on the other end without listening to the complain said said "No problem!! You call after some time as there is no power here" How can Indane Gas set up a Toll Free number and IVR without even having a 24 hour power backup!!

Anyhow I find the earlier system of calling up the delivery boy more effective. with this IVR there is no way to even have a platform to lodge a complain if something goes wrong.

The entire arrangement of making Indane Gas Refill Online is so much bug prone and frustrating and time consuming.

Ananth Gas never picks yous calls.

Hi,

I booked a refill couple of days back and today i got a message today stating the cylinder has been delivered against my refill. I have not received the cylinder yet and when i dial [protected] to enquire no one answers it.

Sometimes the IVR says, "Sorry your call cannot be processed". I don't understand what is the number for?

Please let me know if you have any alternate number to get to a customer care executive.

Thank you,
Jacqueline

hello this is deepak from warasigude studying btech final year .the indian gas delivery boys are supposed to give my new refilled cylinder and take the old once but he is demanding to bring the empty cylinder to other street and said to take the new once .when i asked him about. and told him that this is your duty to collect the empty gas cylinder and install the new once he ignored my words and said to collect the gas from gas station.and the behavior of the delivery boys are very rude.plz take a serious action.

I AM A LPG CONSUMER OF INDIAN OIL CORPORATION THROUGH THEIR DEALER M/S PRATHANA GAS SERVICE IN NANGANALLUR AREA WITH CONSUMER NO.JE34521. WHEN I TRIED TO REGISTER MY CONNECTION WITH IOC;S AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION IVP FACILITY, I AM NOT A BLE TO DO SO B ECAUSE OF INHERENT PROBLEM WITH THE SYSTEM. A SUGGESTION BY THE SYSTEM IS THAT "IF THERE IS ANY ALPHABET BEFORE OR AFTER YOUR CONSUMER NUMBER PRESS 2" HOWEVER, WHENEVER I PRESSED 2 IN ANSWER TO THIS QUESTION, THE SYSTEM DOES NOT RECOGNISE MY RESPONSE WITH THE RESULT I AM UNABLE TO REGISTER UNDER THE AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION FACILITY. THE SNAG IN THE SYSTEM NEEDS TO BE REMOVED. I AM SURE EVERY CONSUMER WITH NUMBERS PRECEDED OR FOLLOWED BY ALPHABETS FACE THE SAME PROBLEM.

I am an officer in Bank of India and presently posted at Head Office, Mumbai.

Upon my transfer from Hazaribagh to Mumbai, I have decided to shift my family at Muzaffarpur. Accordingly, I got my connection no-9153 transferred from Janta Gas Agency,Hazaribagh to Pranati Indane Gas Service, Muzaffarpur. I went to the agency at Maithi counter on 31.05.2011 to complete the formalities and collect my connection but gentleman seating over the counter advised me to come after a few days as the same has to be verified into the system. I expressed my inability that since my journey ticket was of 01.06.2011, I could not be able to collect and complete the formalities in person. The gentleman advised to authorise some other one on your behalf. Accordingly, I have authorised my wife for the same. I also expressed that since my wife is living alone there, she is unable to collect the same from the office at Maithi as the place is 20km (approx.) away from the township and no regular mode of conveyance is available from Muzaffarpur. The gentleman assured to arrange the delivery from their extension counter, Akharaghat.

On inquiring on 14.06.2011from the gentleman, he said that they are not able to deliver the cylinders etc. through their extension counter situated at Akharaghat even after commitment. Pl. look into the matter as my wife is living alone who is authorised by me to accept the goods. The very purpose of opening extension counter is defeated if this type of service is not available from extn. counter. Travel to the office at Maithi is very difficult as it is 20 km away from the township. The mobile number-[protected] of the person dealing with the affairs of the agency is not reasonable and having no manner to talk with their customers as they are saying that "he do not have any time to talk over the phone, it is the headache of the customer, how they will collect there goods and complete the formalities."

I think this type of the behavior will not be appreciated for a service sector.

Please look into the matter. I am waiting for your early response.

Thanking you,

Kamlesh Ranjan

ALWAYS A PAIN TO BOOK A CYLINDER WITH THIS BRANCH.tHE PHONE IS USUALLY OFF THE HOOK(ACTUALLY WALKED INTO THE CENTRE AND SAW THIS ), OR THE STAFF IS ON A BREAK.
MORE SERIOUSLY, WE WERE GIVEN A LEAKING CYLINDER AT 2.00 PM TODAY.ON PROTESTING, THE PERSON ASSURED US THAT THE SMELL WAS NOT LEAKAGE,AND WILL GO OFF SHORTLY.
AFTER AN HOUR,WE STARTED CALLING THE OFFICE FROM 3.00 PMTO COMPLAIN,BUT THE PHONE WAS ANSWERD ONLY BY 5.30 PM.
SERVICE MAN FINALLY SHOWS UP AT 6.45PM AND FIDDLES AROUND WITH THE CYLINDER.LEAKAGE DOESN'T STOP, SO HE SAYS HE'LL BE BACK THE NEXT DAY TO TAKE CARE OF IT.WHEN WE PROTEST THAT WE DONT WANT A LEAKING CYLINDER IN OUR HOUSE FOR 24 HRS,HE SAYS CARTING CYLINDERS IS NOT A PART OF HIS JOB PROFILE.WHEN WE ASK FOR THE CYLINDER TO BE TAKEN AWAY, WE ARE TOLD THAT ALL PERSONNEL HAS LEFT FOR THE DAY.
THE SERVICE MAN IS ARGUMENTATIVE,RUDE AND TOTALLY REFUSES ANY SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY.
MEANWHILE, ON CALLING THE CENTRE, IT'S NO REPLY AS USUAL.tHE SERVICE MAN REFUSES TO GIVE ATERNATE MOBILE/EMERGENCY NUMBERS, OR CONTACT OF ANY PERSON IN AUTHORITY,BUT STEPS OUT OF MY HOUSE TO PROMPTY MAKE CALLS THROUGH HIS MOBILE-REPORTING THE INCIDENT.SURPRISINGLY, HIS CALL IS TAKEN AT THE CENTRE, BUT STILL NO REPLY TO OUR CALLS.
THIS CENTRE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A POOR SEVICE PROVIDER,BUT THIS APATHY TO EMERGENCIES LIKE LEAKAGE IS SHOCKING!!!

i am writing here certain points on which we the people of Rajajipuram need your concern
1. No complaint register is given to us when we want to make any comlaint and after a long conversation, they just give a duplicate register.
2. Workers of the gas agency behave in a ill mannered way with the customers

4. None of the workers are properly dressed in their uniforms neither do they wear they name badges.
5. When we enquire about their names so as to make any complaint.... they usually dont tell their name or give any invalid name.
6. Agency owner as well as the manager never meet any customer directly so as to solve their problem ever.

21. no body recieves the complaint of agency
22. No suitable explanation is given when they are questioned for late delivery of gas cyllinder.

I booked a request of refilling of my indane gas cylinder - consumer no 013276 and Agency M/s B.N.Gupta & Co, Patel Gali, Vishwas Nagar, Delhi-32. The request was made on given phone no. on 2/6/11 but cylinder was not delivered till 10/6/11. On making a complaint, it was delivered on 10/6/11. It was noticed that foul smell is emitting from that cylinder. A Complaint was made to emergency service. A mechanic came and found it was leaking and gave in writing that cylinder is leaking and may be replaced immediately. Next day on 13/6/11, the mechanic report was given to the gas agency for replacing of cylinder. Till date i.e. 15/6/11 the agency has not changed the cylinder. There is imminent danger of mishapening due to leakage of gas. An immediate intervention is requested to replace the cylinder.

I have a connection of Indane for home use cylinder. My consumer no is P7649 and my distributor is at Uttarpara, Hooghly (Pioneer Consumer). When I am going to book for the cylinder through IVRS, it is not working for the last 15 days. When I went to the distributor, they are not registering my booking. So, how could I book my cylinder? The same problem is happening for the last 1 month. The cylinder delivery is very irregular for the last 1 year. The behavior of the distributor is very rough. Everyone at Uttarpara have the same problem. We are facing this problem for past 1 year. Please take some steps regarding this matter.

CYLINDER NOT SUPPLIED
SIR,
Last month DATED 23/05/2011, I had booked a cyllinder with M/S ANIRUDH GAS SEWA RAJENDRA NAGAR PATNA. My consumer number is LT 1381. Till date, the same is not delivered to me. When I went to the agency to enquire about it, the staff had used filthy language against me. I request you to please.

Hi,

I wanted to complaint against the Gas Agency "Associated Traders, Chennai" for delay in delivery and irresponsible answers. We had booked the cylinder more than a fortnight ago and they said that they would be delivering this week (from 30th May - 3rd June 2011) but still not been delivered. When contacted they are giving irresponsible answers. I have a small 2.5 Years child and we need to give her hot milk but we have to go out and get the milk from a nearby tea shop continuously for 2 weeks. Secondly, if we have to take her to a hospital also, we need to avoid it because if we miss the gas delivery person, then they would not provide us with the cylinder subsequently. I don't understand whether they should work for the customers or we are looking like slaves to them since we always have to beg and requests otherwise they would not deliver the cylinder the next time if we talk harshly. Such hardships are happening with this agencies.

I also see that the cylinder are being sold in black but not given to customer like us. My customer Id is 9154 and I still haven't received my cylinder yet. Can someone help us in this regards or advise me how to proceed to lodge a harsh complaint so that consumers like me would not be affected anymore.

regards
Govind Davey

My name is Sreeraman Namboothiri, am a user of IOC gas at Navi mumbai. Booked cylinder on 21/05/2011. Daily contacting Gas Agency for the same. The reply is "The same is on the way" Due to high pressure in office I am unable to visit the agency. I hope others also may have lot of complaints, but for me My complaint is very serious.

I fed up with the very casual approach towards customers from the agency .
