Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] Complaints & Reviews

Hi Sir,

I have applied for gas connection 1 month back, even after getting the confirmation doc from Indane Gas at my residance I am after Ranjan Gas SErvice to have connection
I went them friday, they said no one is here to do varification; On Saturaday (Oct 31 2009) thay they don't start anything new since it's last day of the month. I am surprised to hear that thay are having such an luxery.
Today Monday(2nd Nov2009) Now they say there is no request from your end , So they will write again for verification of Gas Stove (Chulaha).
The way they are handling the customer is really depressing, even after paying the write amount and with right documentation I am moving daily after this Ranjan Gas Service, B-168, Sector-26, Noida.
They need some bribe ???????? for working ..

Thanks,
Frustrated customer

Sir,
I most respect fully beg to state you that i am a consumer of Red Horn Gas Agency,Nalbari Assam.I faced a big problem in getting the refilled L.P.G cylinder.Every time the Agency Authority is creating problem.They are making artificial crisis.They sell 80percent of the L.P.G cylinder in the black market through some brockers.They get a huge commisions every month.Every day they are harrusing the Public of Nalbari.So,I request you that you enquire this matter.and take necessary action as soon as possible.
I will mail next time again with some photograph related to this matter.
Yours faithfully,
bhargab Barman.

Dear Sir / Madam,
I am residing in Kadugodi area of Bangalore from past two years and wish to apply for a new gas connection on my name.I am a salaried employe working in a Pvt Ltd Co.

When I go to apply for a new gas connection I am being forced to provide a Ration Card, which I do not have. Insted I have all other necessary documents including a passport.

I came to know from the dealer that taking a gas connection in Bangalore requires a mandatory submission of Ration Card, which according to me is unreasonable, since Bangalore has a high number of IT professionals, who need a gas connection, and they are busy on weekdays, working close to 12 hours everyday and don't get time to visit the ration card office. On weekends, the govt. offices themselves are either half day or closed, and moreover if open, they are jam-packed with people. In such a case, it becomes almost impossible for a person to apply for a ration card first, then wait for it and then finally apply for a gas connection.

In all other states/ regions, such a rule is not present. So can this absurd rule not be modified to allow working professionals to just provide a proof of their employment alongwith an address proof, instead of a Ration Card, in order to get new gas connection?

Hope this puts some thought process going........

Sir
I have booked a refill on 17.10.09 and again called up the distributor after a week and was told that I would get the supply in a week's time. I got the supply today at 4.00 pm after repeatedly calling the distributor. I asked for the Manager's contact number, but was not given. When I managed to get the Manager's phone number I was told that he/she is busy in a meeting. That means there is no one at the distributor's shop to attend to a complaint. Today when I received the delivery, I was not given a bill in my name. May I know what happened to the Bill? Why is there so much delay? Who is answerable? No doubt the Manager is managing her business well, but what about the customer's complaint. Maybe she is not even aware about what is going on behind her back, how the staff is manipulating and selling cylinders in the black. My service number is 20391 and my distributor's name is Arjun Gas Agency - Ahmedabad.

Dear Sir,

My consumer number is 5911. It is understood that the nearby indane gas agency ie ELA GAS , NOIDAwho was my refill supplier was looked out recently. I was asked by the Area Manager Indane Gas to book cylinder with Kasana gas agency at phone number 25611260,2322228/9. Accordingly I booked the refil cylinder on 26.10.2009. However, no response from the agency so far. I contacted the area manager office over phone. Please do the needful urgently. Is there any responsible officer in Indane who can alleviate the suffering of Indane consumers ??????

I Am Ullas.D,Residing at CHARUTHA House,Mudavoor.P.O.Muvattupuzha.Ernakulam(Dt)Kerala.686669.My Consumer No is 31186 of POTTAS GAS AGENCY,Muvattupuzha.The agency delivered cylendar on 14.09.09. I booked for cylendar 6.10.09.The Agency delivered gas in my locality twice after 14.10.09.But they did not deliver gas at my residence.when contacted I was informed that stock of cylendar not received.The Agency do not supply cylenders regularly and some times it takes more than two months to receive cylenders.Hence I request to kindly look in to the matter and ensure that the agency deliver the cylenders promptly so that the consumers receive the new cylenders at least once in a month.

Dear Sir,
I Mr.B.P Singh/ Gas Consumer No -BP7535 of GangaSagar Meerut, UP.My Gas dealer is Budhpoorna Indane Gas -Distributorship No[protected], Jail Chungi Meerut, I have booked the gas on 7/Oct/2009 and infect the gas was due from 16/Sep/2009, and today is 29/Oct/2009 there is no hope of getting this gas cylinder, and whenever we call them they give only false promises that it will come in 4-5 days and when we call them back after the date they have promised, they usually said, actually the delaying is from the IOCL, so we don't have any stock once we received we will deliver it immediately, or surely it will be delivered in 2-3 days, but nothing will be workout, these multiple calls are always occurred from our side and now we used to hear all this false cum fancy stories telling by Budhpoorna Indane Gas, not me only facing this problem in this area there are almost everyone who is having gas connection with them.
And if you want a gas cylinder immediately you can get it from their Hawkers(Suppliers) by giving them Rs.510 for each gas cylinder, such scenes are occurred there on frequently basis.But there is no one in the Budhpoorna Indan Gas Agency who can listen our problems or issues, and even some times they cut the call before we finished our talks.So, this is really a phethetic service we are getting from Budhpoorna Indan Gas, and believe me its not a joke to deal with such people on alternative months, if this much of problem we face to get our cooking gas cylinder than how can we live happily in other aspects of our life.
I heard a lot of good responses from this consumer complaints, I am hoping the same help in my case also, I would be very thankful forever if you can provide some sort of help or correction in their service.

Thanks

Sir/ Madam,

Reg: Problems facing while booking for new cylinder.

" Worst response from the incharge persons ( In particular at TAMBARAM Pattammal)"
" Not answering for the queries, simply disconnecting or just keeping the receiver open"
" Booking at Guduvanchery - Missing from the records"


We are residing at Urappakkam and our agency is Pattammal Gas agency.
Usually we used to book at Guduvanchery branch office. "Our No is : 31291"

Till now it happened two times that Booking at GUDUVANCHERY is not reflected at TAMBARAM.
If we call to Tambaram office their way of treating customer is really worst.

Inspite of waiting for very very long time to get the connection( almost 20 - 30 mins) they simply say yours is not booked. then what's the point of having GUDUVANCHERY office and booking over there.
Then they it will be taken as new booking on that day.

Sep 12 09 we booked at Guduvanchery. Till now we did not get cylinder. If we enquire at tambaran (since they only have te phone) they say your name is not there.

This is not the first time it has been happening regularly. I don't know wher to complaint about this that's why i am complaining here.

Please please please .. try to solve this scenario

please take necessary action or at least tell them to treat the customers as human being not like a DOG.


Thanks,
Surendar

sir i am a consumer of Govila Enterprises Aligarh. from last five year i am struglling for dbc but every time dealer make excuses like short of celenders, company policy etc.
Please give me the suggestion what should i do.

i have faced this problem twice at m/s navin petrol pump, udaipur-dungarpur link road, banswara, rajasthan. that they have refused to provide free air and said -
- there is no person avilable for this job
- we only have to provide free air and are not bound to provide a person for the same, you can fill it on your own if you want.
as a consumer i need to know, what does this free air mean, if providing free air is the job of the petrol pump or it is something that we need to do ourselves.
in my opinion if they are open for petrol they should also keep a man to provide free air.
please confirm and also if naveen petrol is not following rules, proper action must be taken against them.
thanks and regards

I am an Indane LPG consumer with regn no. 649 at 313/13-D, Inderlok, Delhi-110035. The cylender supplied by my distributor Kirti Gas Agency, Kanhaiya Nagar, Tri Nagar, Delhi-110035, Ph. 27393570 is leaking and the attendant who checked it, replaced the washer and assured to change the cylender by evening of[protected]. But till date, even after repeated requests my leaking cylender has not been replaced.

Dear Sir

I am register a new indane gas connection at Renu Enterprises, B-2, Shiv Mandir, Tonk Road, Bazaria, Sawai Madhopur, Rajasthan Pincode-322001 on 5 Oct 2009. My Booking No. is [protected] but there is a problem that when I went to submit all relevant document with Intimation letter to avail of my indane connection they are forcing me to purchase a Hot-Plate/Cooking Range/Gas Stove with gas connection is there kind of provision like that because this kind of activity is wrong as according to MRTP Act.

Please look in matter and do needful for following: -
1. The behavior & attitude of service provider is very poor.
2. They also harass me and ask to come time and again. They also do not respond positively.

Sir,
My Consumer No.4761, Address:B48,Pocket 4,Kendriyavihar-II,Sector 82,NOIDA
Distributor: Indane (Ela Gas Agency),Sector 93,NOIDA

I have booked a refill on 16th Oct 2009. For the last 4 days I was trying to contact the distributor over phone to know the delivery schedule. Telephone service povider is informing that all the telephone lines of this distributor are switched off. Made personal visit to the location today (26.10.2009) to find out the position To my dismay, I found the office was locked and the neighbouring shop owners informed that the distributor office was raided for some reasons and nobody knows when it will start functioning. Many consumers who booked refills are visiting the location and getting panick as nobody knows how to get the refill.

If the closure of this dealership is a long drawn affair, we may please be informed from where we can
draw the refill. Does any neighbouring dealer has been authorised to cater to the customers of Ela gas.If so the same may please be informed to the above email address. Otherwise many chulas in the society falts in NEPZ area gets put off and we have to run for alternate source of energy.
Thanking u

My Consumer No.4761. Address: B48,Pocket 4,Kendriya Vihar-II,Sector 82 NOIDA
My Distributor: Ela Gas Agency (Indane), Shop No.50, VDS Market ,Pocket A, Sector 93,NOIDA

To our surprise, the above shop remins closed for the last one week. I booked a refill on 16/10/209
All telephone lines were switched off. On enquiry from the neighbours of the shop, it was revealed
that the Dealer's Agency was raided for some reasons and nobody knows when it will be opened
and supply of gas restored. I found lot many worried consumers who have booked refillsvisiting the
shop to know the position.

In case the closure is a long drawn affair, what are the arrangements being
made by the Indane Gas management for supply of the refills for customers of Ela Gas.Is any other dealer in the near by vicinty is being directed to entertain our demands.

I would be grateful for a reply in this regard

thanking you
