Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir/Madam,

Kindly note that since few months every time when I booked the Gas, a person from Inden comes and asking me to pay Rs.40 as an inspection charges. Last time when I refused as the inspection was done only a couple of months back he told that your booking will not be accepted if you do not pay this charges.
Now let me know the truth. Is it required to get my connection checked every time I book the new Gas bottle?

I am a resident of Ahmedabad and My connection is with Santosh Gas Agency.

Dear sir,

On Sep. 29, 2009 at about 2:00 PM, I went to my Indane distributor viz.,M/s Fuel Centre, Code No. 99060247, 1 Feeder Road, Kolkata 700056 for transfer of the gas connection to Delhi, my new place of posting.I carried with me the empty gas cylinders (2 nos.) , the regulator and the pass book issued by the distributor. I was informed by the Owner/Manager that I need to submit the Indane Customer Subscription Voucher for getting the transfer done. Since I carried the two cylinders with me I requested the gentleman to at least accept return of the cylinders so that I don't have to cary them back. I was told that the distributor cannot keep unaccounted cylinders.I was also told that I can come back by 4:00 PM to get the transfer done. Since I have to locate the original subscription voucher, I asked them what time I should come the next day for the transfer. I was told to come between 11:00AM and 4:00 PM. On Sep.30, 2009, I again went to the distributor carrying the cylinders, regulator and the Indane Customer Subscription Voucher. When I approached the same gentleman, he rudely said that the distributor do not handle any transfer request on Sep. 30th. This came to me as a surprise as this was same gentleman who on the previous day, had asked me where I intend to transfer the connection and what time the next day I should visit them. When I told the gentlemen that I should have been informed properly about their not doing the job on Sep 30th, he rudely denied having told me to come on 30th Sep. Annoyed by his rude words, I told him that I would be compelled to make complaint against him, But the gentleman said that I am free to make complaint to whatever authorities I may choose. This entire episode only confirm the 'reputation' Fuel Centre has earned in showing scant regard for customer comfort and service. When the passbook issued by the distributor clearly says that the same would be accepted as alternative identification record in the event of loss of subscription voucher in the case of change of distributor/residence, I was told to go back and bring the subscription voucher and when I came back with the voucher, I was again denied the service on the pretext of the day being 30th Sep. I only wish that authorities in Indian Oil/Indane take notice of the plights of the customers. Badal Chandra Das, Dy.

Dear Sir,

The above agency is highly irresponsible and do not deliver cylinders on time. The result is that despite having double cylinder, I end up buying gas from private vendors. I book the cylinders with a gap of 15 days but still the agency refuses to deliver it. Last month the delivery boy came to my door step and then said that they can supply cylinders only after 30 days from the date of booking. I have never heard of such a rule. I have had this connection for almost 35 years (Bangalore) and have never encountered such problems.

Last month when the delivery boy refused to give the cylinder, an auto driver offered to get us the cylinder. He charged me Rs.400/- for the same. It is truly amazing that the same agency delivered my cylinder to the Auto driver. I get this feeling that this agency is selling gas in black market and not catering to the needs of the consumers.

They also refuse to supply cylinder unless a certain number of booking for the same area has reached. They also don't let customers like us who are in dire need of cylinders pick it up from the agency. They also claim that there is a demand for gas cylinders due to shortage in supply. I have not seen any such thing in the news papers. This is really strange!

It is very unfortunate that consumers like us have to go through such hardships so that a few agencies like this can make some extra money!

I request you to kindly look into this with highest priority.

Thanking you.

Dear Sir /Madam,

I am a LPG Indane Gas customer with ( Vaishali Gas Agency, Saguna Mod, Danapur, Patna, Bihar) and my consumer number is V-3564.
I have booked for a re-fill on 17-jun-09 and the gas was deliver on 25-jun-09 (8 days)
Again i booked on 18-july-09 and received on 30-july-09 (12 days)
Last month also , it was a gap of 13 days .
This month i booked it on 24th-oct-09 and god knows when it will be delivered .
AS far as i know , if a consumer book for a re-fill after 21 days , it should be delivered within 2-3 days .

Also , the cylinders are easily available in black at high prices in the market. Then why there is so much delay for a consumer .

This thing i wanted to bring in notice so that you can take appropriate action against them and they behave properly with the consumer and we as a consumer stop suffering .

Your immediate action would be highly appreciated.

Dear Sir,
I am a consumer of Indane Cooking Gas (Consumer Number:4852).The outlet agency name is Jyoti Gas Mundakayam.I have a complaint against the agency regarding their careless attitude towards consumer complaints.My cooking gas cylinder was found leaking on 20.09.2009 and I have made a phone call to the agency immediately as there is a high chance of explosion.But the agency is so irresponsible towards this complaint that they have not yet attended this complaint.Our cylinder is still leaking and we are keeping it outside the house out of fear of explosion and fire.

Another complaint regarding the particular agency is that they do not attend phone calls for gas cylinder booking.Because of this people face a lot of difficulties.If they attend the booking calls,they suply cylinders two or three days past the exact date.Because of this people have to wait for them all these days.

I hop you can do something regarding this complaint.

Thank you

I am holding indane connection with M/s Harinaryan Gas Indane at Pisalbanda of Hyderabad. There are two telephone Nos. 24531307/08 to this dealer. The phones are most of the time busy . If at all it is ringing no body answers the phone. Again getting the ring tone is a herculian job. you may adivse the dealer to attend the telephones promptly.

2. Kindly confirm whether the booking automatically gets cancelled if he found the door locked while delivery.

Sir,
I booked for a gas cylinder at Ms. SivamGas Agency , Maligaon on 09.09.2009. But up to 25.09.2009, I diid not get the delivery. So I went physically to their nearby gas delivery office at Azara and found even later dates bookings are delivered. It was observed that the delivery Boy, Sri Mukut Das is not sincere ,even corrupt. He even charges more money. Though the bill is for Rs. 314.45, but he charges Rs.330.00 per cylinder without any voucher. Therefore I request your honour to be kind enough to enquire into the matter and take necessary action to ensure timely delivery of the cylinder.
Thanks=

Dear Sir,

I am your customer since last 3 years wide my cosumer number RG-16299 with Rohini Enterprise (Rohini-New Delhi). I booked a refill cylinder in month of Aug-09 and that was supplied after 3-4 days , when we replaced the refill cylinder with our discarged cylinder on 20th Sep-9, we found thta there was no gas in cylinder, although it was a full waighted cylinder. We were more surprised after knowing that there was only water in cylinder instead of gas.I have gone 3-4 times to gas agency to register the complaint but they are not shoing any intrest to resolve my problem. Niether they are replacing the water filled cylinder nor they are ready to give me new cylinder on actual cost of a new refilled cylinder. I am help less in the matter and planning to go for legal action against Rohini Enterprises.

I request to you pls look in to matter and resolve this at earliest.
