Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] Complaints & Reviews

Sir,

My name is S.Prasad Babu (cell:[protected]) and I am trying to get a new Gas connection for last 5 months and got fed with the process they are having. Initially when enquired for new connection they informed that if I buy a Gas stove they will provide the connection within 10 workin days, Since I already have a Gas Stove I didn't opted that option. else they will send a Mechanic for inspection.

After several follow ups they sent a Mechanic after 40 days and I have submitted the receipts given by the Mechanic to the Distributor PRASANNA GAS AGENCIES situated at Korattur (contact number[protected], 26253252,[protected] and they registered for new connection and informed that they will send a registered post and I need bringback the registered post. But they didn't send any letter again I have followed up for several times then they sent a letter after 20 days.

This time the POST Man without delivering the letter he simply wrote Insufficient Address and returned back.

When I contacted the agencies they told they yet receive the letter from the post office and you can come after a week and you can pay the security deposit. Today when I went there they informed that we will send the letter again in registered post you pay us Rs.25 towards register post charges. I have paid and come back. This is where I am standing in getting a new GAS Connection.

I would like to know are these AGENCIES where created to help us the Public or to make us to struggle like the one which I am facing.

I kindly request the authority of INDIAN OIL Corporation look into this issue and help me in getting a new GAS Connection.

Complaint against NABAJYOTI GAS AGENCY Hatigarh Chariali, Geetanagar Road, Guwahati

Ref: Consumer No. 16767 Cyl. Sl. No. 646681(encl. attachment)

Dear sir,

I am to lodge the following complaint against the above mentioned Gas Agency for your kind information and necessary action.

That sir, the said Gas Agency had delivered a full cylinder on 01/04/10 in my house against payment of Rs. 325.00 (Three Hundred Twenty Five) only which is higher than the amount fixed for the same.

When the Gas cylinder was connected for use for cooking purpose on 05/05/10, it was, therefore suspected that the cylinder might have been filled up with water. I, therefore, brought the cylinder to the agency for replacement.

The Agency replaced the cylinder by giving me another cylinder but charged extra Rs. 200.00 (Two Hundred) against which they refused to give cash memo for this additional payment. When I stressed for issuance of a Cash Memo for this extra amount, there was severe exchange of words between me and the Agency men (Hussain by name) who misbehaved me with bitter words. As a result I did not accept the new cylinder.

The old cylinder is still lying in my house without use.

You are, therefore, requested kindly to take necessary action in this regard.

Yours faithfully,

Pramathesh Talukdar

Dear Sir,

I am an Indane LPG Customer and my Customer No. 10011 from M/S Ravichandra Gas Agency. Every time I am facing the problem, booking the LPG Refill and the personnel attending the phone call are very much un-friendly in taking the booking. Since my residential area doesn't fall into their services of providing the Home Delivery of LPG Refills, every time I had to collect the same.To avoid this problem, I asked them to change the Agency to M/S Jai Gurudatta Gas Agency.I was asked to consult M/S Jai Gurudatta Gas Agency. On contacting the Jai Gurudatta Gas Agency, they were keep on postponing the date to take my application/representation. Before last month i.e; in february' 2010 on inquiring from the Ravichandra Gas Agency, I was informed that the Godown is going to be shifted to our near by area and hence we will be getting the Home Delivery of LPG Refills.

But to my dismay, again when I had booked for LPG Refill on 26 April' 2010 vide my Booking No. 8329 and waited till date, expecting to get a Home Delivery, today on inquiring from the Ravichandra Gas Agency personnel, I was asked to visit the agency and collect the Refill in person.On asking the reason, I got an un-friendly answer, stating that they don't know the reason and if I need it, i should collect it in person.Request, inquire into the matter and ensure the timely Home Delivery to the consumers and see that their unfriendly behaviour towards towards customers is stopped henceforth.

Thanks & Regards,

This is in respect to my gas connection (Commercial 19kgs) for which i had been requesting refill for past one week. From 17th April to today 28th April.

However, it has been more than 7 working days that i had been requesting to deliver the refill at my house address and no action has been taken till date. To mention additionally people delivering seek extra money for gas delivery appart from the billed amount and if not given they abnormally delay in delivery the next time gas is ordered.

My consumer No 00386, Dealer is Vir Gas Agency at West Mambalam, Chennai 600 033. I booked for a Refill on 27th March 2010. Generally, no proper response for telephone calls. Till 20th April, told it is in waitlist. Then, but told when contacted around 22nd April, that deliveryboy came but house was locked and hence not delivered. Of course such bluffing is usual and it is their practice perhaps to divert the cylinder elsewhere and give one reason or the other. Fact remains we are employed and could make ourselves available when they assure delivery. Subsequently in our periodically follows-up when checked, they told that delivery would be given on a particular date after 5 p.m. positively. Anticipating delivery, came and waited with no result. Similar is the situation four times, in fact applying leave etc and staying in the House and even confirming availability telephonically also. But no delivery. Then made a compliant to Cell, who intervened but no effectiveness on 26th. On 27th again contacted the Cell and the Area Officer for asolution. Even then there was no definite assurance of delivery. However, after repeated pleadings, finally delivered the cylinder, without proper challan for signature and return.

The points are (1) why deficiency in service (2) why challan not brought (perhaps previous one misused) (3) while they said till 25th April one time house was locked, on 26th morning when call from Cell poured in, said twice the door was locked, which is not true (4) I take cylinder once in 80 days, and apprehend misuse of my quota resulting in for such delay (5) generally very rude in attending phones or giving the probable date of delivery (6) have to make number of calls every time incurring additional money (7) Seems NO proper control on Dealers and/or their workmen 8) Today's The Hindu paper corraborates the fear in my mind, a true position.

Why NOT
- IOC introduce booking, follow up and delivery prospects of cylinder through internet like in Banks, Railways etc; and
- Investigate this harrassment to the customers,
to protect the name and fame of IOC towards its social responsibility/obligations?

Sir,
I am an LPG consumer of Rashmi Gas (Indane), Kochi vide consumer No. 27969. I stay alone & use LPG very less, so whenever I book gas after 6 months, they say that the connection is dead. Last year they forced me to bring the re-activation recommendation letter from I.O.C. Head office Kochi. It is not so easy to reach & get cosumer care officer recommendation. Any how I submitted my request letter duly recommended by IOC to Rashmi Gas, now while booking for refilling over phone, I was informed that the connection is dead & I have to submit re-activation request. I already submitted one during last year is with them.
I am working in a cent. Govt. Office & it is not always possible me to go their office for submitting such a letter again & again.
While dialing local cosumer care help line as given by Rashmi Gas, no[protected] either It is found busy or ringing unattended.
Therefore it is requested to instruct M/s Rashmi Gas to distribute the LPG without ‘harassment’,

Thanking you,

sir,
myself Mrs. P. Kumar residing at 27 A.I.I.M.S apartments, mayur kunj, U.P link road, delhi 110096 with my family. i have a gas connection with Madhu gas agency shop no. 102-103, 1st floor, vardhaman Plaza csc-2, mayur vihar ph-3 Delhi 110096. i booked my gas cylinder on 20th april 2010 at about 11:30 am. i confirmed also that my gas is booked by my consumer no. i.e., RG-8643. some lady from their side replied "yes" for the same. till 22nd april i haven't got the gas. Then i thought to remind them for the booking on mentioned no.[protected],[protected]. this time she said that my gas was not booked on my connection but instead it was booked on mrs Usha Sharma's name. on inquiring further, i was told that i have not mentioned the"R.G" before 8643 and it was booked to somebody else.
the same was happened 2-3 times before and was wrongly booked by the name o[censored]sha sharma and caused me lots of inconvienience. i am sure that usha sharma was related to madhu gas agency for which they were favouring her. Madhu gas was also known for doing black supply of gas. there should be some check on the agency. its my request to take proper action, so that no one suffer for gas any more.
thanks

yours sincerely

i have booked gas cylinder from m/s amarjeet gas service east punjabi bagh market his employee told me to check ur gas chulla after that they will send the cylinder service charge rs 70 has company ordered to do the same that is his employee delivery man my connection no 15705 poonam dewan 167 dda flats jaidev park east punjabi bagh n d 26 ph npo [protected] tortued so many times with the same service charge before which is rs 25 only with regards look into the matter

My cons. no is 23431in Roy & Dutta Enterprises,13. Indralok, Sodepur, Kolkata 700110. I booked one cylender on 29.3.2010 through IOC Call centre bearing Sl. No.3852. Since the delivery was not made, on 22.4.2010 I enquired about the status with the call centre ( as because the employees of shop dont care to answer the phone) and surprisingly I was told that it was delivered on 16.4.2010. When I told the receptionist that it was not delivered, she advised me to contact the shop immediately.
Now the whole thing is clear to me . Last time the delivery boy had asked for extra of Rs.10 in addition to usual tips. When I refused, he threatened that if you dont pay you will face problem in the next time.And it is the next time!
I contacted with the distributor with no results. I wanted to see owner but I was told that he was not there.What else a senior citizen can do?
This complaint is being made on behalf of a lot of honest consumer who does not butter the delivery boy, with the hope that that matter will be taken up with this particular shop and the needfull will be done as the higher authority may deem fit and proper.

Dear sir

I am a resident Of
Plot No 14, 1/1036. VGP-Pushpa Nagar, Shanti St, Medavakkam, Chennai - 600100 .
Mobile: [protected]..
Consumer No: 25164

In my area (MEDAVAKKAM,Chennai)the INDANE gas agency is Sri Revathy Gas agency. 3 months back they delivered me a defective cylinder which once plugged started to leek. The next day i returned the gas cylinder but they did not replace me instead they asked me to pay for another one.

Moreover the delivery is not prompt and the delivery boys sell the cylinder to nearby hotels..They are delivering cylinders 20-25 days after booking. .

Today 22-Apr-2010 also they delivered me a defective cylinder...we did not receive the cylinder and returned back..The delivery boy abruptly scolded us and told he will bring the cylinder only after a week back.. I am totally dissatisified with their service. Since, the gas cylinder is a life and death matter i feel i cant adjust with the same ....

Please take this issue seriously and address it as early as possible

In anticipation of your earlier action
