Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] Complaints & Reviews

I have Indane connection, which I took while I was in Delhi. 6 years back I moved to Pune and took a new connection from Indane. My regulator from the old connection is leaking the Gas heavily and when I visited the Gas distributor in Pune he said that since it does not belong to his agency so he can not change. He is agreeing that its from Indane but not from his agency.

Now I have query from Indane authorities that if they will not change the regulator then who will change it? If something wrong happens at my home, what they will be doing?

Dear Sir/Madam,
My aged parents staying in Camp Sadar Bazar, Ahmedabad have their gas connection with OMKAR INDANE, SARDAR NAGAR, Ahmedabad agency. With great difficulty you get their telephone as either it is busy or not attended to, on getting a number you are told that the gas is booked. Then you do not get gas cylinder at all and this process carries on. At times what happens is the delivery boys sell these cylinders which was for you to the illigal clients who are using gas for commercial purpose at higher cost. In this racket could be the gas agency owner involved nothing can be said.
My ref no is OM - 07246, the gas was booked about a month back, the repeat booking was done about 4-5 days back. NO GAS SO FAR, authorities concerned is requested to help and rout out this menace of delays and have more transparency in this business.

I am a LPG Indane customer with KFCSC Gas Agency, Hebbal Bangalore and my consumer Number is 36619. I have booked for a refile and was committed to receive on 04 April 09, today is 13 April and still i get the same response that i will receive it shortly.

I am having single cylinder. I had booked for an additional cylinder 1 year back in KFCSC and prior to that 1 year in VV Puram Indane agency. Its totally 2 years since i have booked for the additional cylinder but i was made to understand there is already a waiting period of 3 years.

Please help
Yours Sincerely

My name is J Sriram. My Indane Gas consumer number is B-18840. My address is 2-2-647/77/E, Srinivasa Nagar Colony, Bagh Amberpet, Hyderabad - 500013.

The name of my agency is Bagyanagar Gas Agencies, Agency Code - 7533581, 1-9-1122/10, Shop No. 16-17, KB Complex, Vidyanagar, Hyderabad - 500044.

As there was a leakage in the regulator, my wife took it to my Gas Agency for a replacement. He charged her Rs. 250/- towards replacement. On asking for a receipt for this amount, he refused to give her one - and said that there will be no receipt provided. He took a photocopy of my gas cylinder issue slip to complete the transaction.

Is this standard practice approved by Indane? Is it not IOCL's responsibility to replace a leaky regulator free of cost? In case of a charge to replace a leaking regulator, is it not the responsibility of the agency to issue a receipt for the amount collected?

Please advise.

Regards,
Sriram

Dear sir,
I am a 59 years old lady recently shifted to my Home-Town after retirement from service. I have applied for subject cited LPG Gas connection vide Booking No641 dt 18th Nov 2008 with LPG Agency at Nalagarh Distt Solan (HP). I have received Intimation letter regarding release of LPG connection vide Agency's letter dated 24th Feb 2009. I visited the said LPG Gas Agency alongwith necessary documents but I was told that Regulators are not available thus I was put to wait indefinitely. However, on my insistence the Manager of Gas Agency told me to purchase Hot plate/cooking range available in Agency failing which the Manager told me it is not possible to release the connection.When I pointed out to the Manager that it is clearly mentioned in Intimation letter dated 24th Feb 2009 that it is not obligatory on you to purchase the same from us.." the Agency Manager told me rudely if you want gas then deposit the cost of cooking range or forget gas connection.
Under the circumstances explained above, it is requested to help me getting me LPG connection.
Thanking you

Consumer No:22760; Cooking Gas Agency, 3A, Malavia Ave, Chennai 600041.When we brought in a cylinder for use, we found there was a hissing noise.Gas smell was noticed.Complained to the gas agency at about 9 a.m. Service man came at 5-15 p.m. He changed the rubber washer at the cylinder neck. Leak continued He changed another and another five times !. He failed. Thereafter he removed the ring(washer) from the used cylinder and fixed it along with one more washer The regulator is more than 30 years old and seems rickety. Since the system could not be brought into service even by changing the washer with 5 new ones, I feel the problem may recur.
2. I have paid a deposit for the regulator as well as the cylinder. The maintenance of these is the responsibility of the gas agency; but I have been charged Rs 40/- for this. This is unfair. I request you to instruct the agency to refund the amount.
Thanks

Dear Sir / Madam,

I hold Indane Gas connection for the past 5 years with Subscriber Number 24459 - this falls under Brindavan Gas Agency, LIG, BHEL, RC Puram.

I had booked for second cylinder in Feb '07 - but receive no response from them. Whenever asked, I get a reply that it will come next month. And to add more fury, last saturday (09/May/2009) they initially told that the booking stands cancelled. Upon asking for more details, they apologize and again give the same reply. Upon insisting that it was booked 2 1/2 years back, they say I will get a letter from Indane. They are also reluctant to give escalation numbers.

I have to everytime give my cylinder even not empty because it takes another 2 - 3 weeks time for them to replace.

Kindly look into this please. I know bribing would get things done, but am NOT towards it. I have seen my friends getting connections in 3 months time after booking. So am very sure that my booking is being misused here.

Thanks,
Gokul MK Chandran

I requested for compliant book but they started talking like that they have done something great by fueling my car at 22:10 hrs as thier RO is operational till 22:00 hrs. If case is like that then whay they have entertained my resquest for fuel at 22:05 hrs. RO blently refused for complent book as it goes under lock & key after 22:00 hrs. As per my understanging customer has liberty to use services round the clock.

At last i approched company Sales Offier and again his attitude was not customer friendly. I[censored]rban customer is not satisfied how can we persume rural they are addressing rightly. Reliance / Essar has proved thier worthyness in past but againg circumsatances has not allowed to continue for long.

Are we living in the world of customer delightness of British raz.

My submission is for change in PSY official attitude atlest
