Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir/Madam

I am from Hyderabad and my Customer No. at Indane is SAI33922

I've a single cylinder gas connection and I've applied for the second cylinder on 18th May 2006, since then I haven't received the second cylinder. I approached many times to 'Saeesh Enterprises, 23-226, R.K.Nagar, Malkajgiri, Hyderabad, but they refused to provide me the cylinder stating that there is a freeze in issuing new or extra cylinders.

Today, 10th March 09, I approached them, they told me that "The cost of extra cylinder is 1600/- but What are you willing to pay extra for my stomach?". When I refused to pay the money he denied me the cylinder and told me to suffer the consequenses.

I believe that the owner of the agency is not at all afraid of any legal actions.

Could you please help me on this matter?

I am a central government employee (CSIR) and was working at Lucknow for the last 22 years. I was not having a gas connection at Lucknow and was staying in the accommodation provided by the office. Now I have been transferred to Trivandrum. At present I am staying in a rented house. I do not have a ration card at present. I have contacted the nearest IOC dealer for a gas connection. He is insisting on the production of a ration card for booking the gas connection. At present I have only the employers ID card and PAN card with me. The employers ID card also shows my present residential address.

Can you help me in getting a gas connection? Is it compulsory to have a ration card for booking a gas connection?

(I am trying to get a ration card and is running for the last many months from one office to other to complete all the formalities. I do not know when such a thing will be issued to me!!!)

Sir,
I ve sent many complaints before and I am not getting any responce from your side.
We were asked to contact Ezhilasan([protected]) for registering complaints.
I tried to contact this number many times to register the complaints against Babu gas Agency at Perumbavoor, Ernakulam.I was continuosly trying to get this number.but there was no response.
We are not getting the gas cylinder properly.Many subscribers under this Gas agency have the same complaints and all are very upset.Please do the needful.

Hello
We are living in Sardarnagar Area of Ahmedabad.
We have gas connection agent called Omkar Agency from Indane LPG for house hold.
We have one connection for the family of 4 adults and 2 minors.
We book the cylinder every 21st day after we get the filled cylinder at home.
Now, after booking the cylinder the delivery is made after 15 days or longer.
I believe the delivery should be made within 7 days of booking.
So we are very very upset with the service.
Please help.

I went to get my Indane Gas Cylinder refilled after 10 months, but was told that Verification/Validation of my cylinder etc. will be done because i am taking a refill after more than 6 months.

WHY? I have a valid indane gas connection, why should i take a refill within 6 months everytime? On what basis Indane is assuming that everyone should take refill within 6 months - otherwise re-validation is needed.

And the process of re-validation:
1. Get photocopy of your gas connection documents.
2. Letter stating why Gas Consumption was low. (Imagine? Are there any bigger fools than these folks. On one hand there is scarcity of gas, on another hand they want to know in writing why i consumed less. Junk Guys).
3. The Gas Rubber Pipe.
4. The Regulator.

Yeah you need to take these and present it to your gas agency, and these lords will then decide if you are eligible for a Re-Fill.

It is a open secret that gas connection and refills are available and sold in black-market. And here, they are indulging in Red-Tape harassing genuine customers with freaking rules that dont make any sense.

Shame Shame Indane. Can you explain this?

Dear Sir/Mam

i have been harassed by the indane gas agency from past few months as i am being denied the new connection despite the fact that the connection were opened after my request for the same.

kindly look into the matter seriously

Respected Sir/Madam,
I stay in bangalore, we have Gas-Connection from Rashmi Indane Distributors, #23/4, Nayandahalli, Near Rajarajeshwari Nagar Arch, Mysore Road, Bangalore:560039. Issue is that when we book for a cylinder,
1.They dont deliver in time,
2. Person delivering the cylinder does not have patience nor curticy to leave a message if incase if the house door is locked. When we try reaching him, he speaks rudely irrespecitve of person is elder or not he's not bothered at all.
3. When we tried booking the cylinder from the above distributor, they also guided us to book from "24Hrs.Refill Booking - Ph :1260" which we did and even this case also they deliver the cylinder always late. when we try to reach them for booking cylinder they come up with weird answers.
4. Worst part is when i tired to update the same to Indane Customer Service Cell, they disconnected our call twice. Please let me know to whom we can reach for our issues, even Indane them selves or not responding.

Thanks
Chethan

My Consumer No. i 20983 with M/s Sri Revathi Gas Agency, Chennai. I reported a leak in my cylinder to the after office hours Phone No. 22263898 on Sunday (March 08) at 4PM. The call attendant Mr. Sekar took down the details and informed me that the a mechanic will attend within 1 hour. As nobody turned up I called up again at 8PM and was informed that being a Sunday there were limited number of mechanics and also that there were more than 100 calls prior to mine which are pending. I called up M/s Sri Revathi Gas Agency (Ph#[protected] at 9.30 AM and informed them about the leak and my complaint made yesterday to the office hours phone number. The operator told me that she will send a mechanic within 1 hour. Again at 11.00 AM I called up the Gas agemcy and informed them that nobody had come to check the leakage. I also called up the Indane Customer Cell (Ph#[protected] and spoke to Mr. Selvam and informed him about the non action on the part of the Gas Agency and requested him to persuade the Gas Agency to attend to the problem. At 12.30 PM a mechanic came from the Gas Agency. He fit the regulator to the cylinder and lit the stove. He switched off the stove and said that it a problem with the washer and went out. Expecting him to return with the washer and on not seeing him I went out and found that he had already gone away. I immediately called up the Gas Agency and informed them. She told me that she will contact the mechanic and will ask him to return and attend to the leakage. Now it is 2:30 PM and there is no trace of any mechanic and the telephones of the Gas Agency and the the Indane Customer Cell just keep ringing. I kindly request the authorities concerned to look into this urgently as cannot afford to continuously purchase food from outside for my family.

sir
I am K..M. Varghese S/O Mr.Mathew owns an indane gas connection with no 9224 from Haridwar Gas agency, Haridwar (phone No.[protected]), Uttarakhand. Whenever I am trying to book gas through telephone either they do not attend the phone or after attending they make lame excuses and disconnect the phone even after completely hearing the booking details. After repeated dialling, they simply say a booking number and disconnect the phone before hearing the address for home delivery. They always prefer the customer to collect the gas directly from their godown so that they can earn Rs 8/-minimum from each customer.Even if we plan to collect the gas, from the godown, they delay 6 to8 days after booking. Kindlydo the needful as early as possible and make the gas agency to provide home delivery to the customers.

My connection no. is 38661.@ mohanil gas agency / Near IIT gate / new Delhi.. 02 weeks back an indane field gas supplier has delivered a leak cylinder in sealed form. twice my father has reported to the man called shambhu who delivers but he has only committed false promise of replacing it.
I have tried calling the agency many times but either they are not picking up the phone or busy...
Due to the leakage the smell has covered the whole area in the house and its dangerous too.

Request you to please look into the matter and do the needful at the earliest.

Sir plz imidete send my booked gas and confirm me ok Thankx

Consumer No-5005, Booking Date: 02/03/2009

Sir,
My name is pradeep kumar and my gas connection no.in indane is ME32558 with Mukund Enterprises, barakpura, hyderabad.
Recently on 04/03/2009 i received refilled cylinder from mukund enterprises. The deliveryman gave me bill for Rs.304.40 and charged the same amount. When i asked him that on your bill it has printed at side that some subsidy of Rs.50/- is being provided by A.P. Govt. then he told that we are charging Rs. 305/- after that subsidy less.
Sir Whereas i have listened that govt has reduced it to Rs. 255/-. Please clarify that.
Even whenever you make any call to that office again they will tell you Rs.305/-after less.
The subsidy ramark is given at side only to manage the govt.instruction and to cheat the people.
This is pure insult of govt. instruction and they are demaging the image of govt.also.
Please do something with HONEST ACTION.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I'm a resident of a small town Kalimpong, Dist. Darjeeling, West Bengal, 734301. The Cost of the Gas Cylinder + ( Delivery charges) which is already included is Rs. 327.25. as Applicable from: February 01, 2009. This is being confirmed by the Delivery man from the Authorized Gas Agency here in Kalimpong. However the Delivery Man is charging and Extra Surcharge of Rs.50 for the Delivery which amounts to Rs.380 in total.
I therefore like to know more details of the charges before I process further implementing RTI Act on the company and complain to Consumer Forum.
I would be obliged if you do the Needfull at the earliest.

I am a customer of Indane with consumer no 3579 and have been registered with Shilma Gas services - Chettipadi, Parapanangadi, Malappuram Dst.I booked for refill gas cylinder on 29.01.2009 and my booking no is 6577 . Till now the cylinder has not been supplied and when contacted the agency told that it will take atleast two months to get a refill cylinder after booking. For the past one year this agency has been saying that delivery of refill cylinders are getting delayed because IOC is not giving enough cylinders to the agency and there is a shortage of and supply. We are staying in Calicut University Campus and there is no other source of fuel available to us and we are solely dependant on the Indane gas. Unavailability of gas cylinder in time renders a lot of hardships to me, Kindly take necessary action to streamline the distribution system of the gas agency so that the consumers will not be put to hardship for no fault of theirs.

An urgent and effective action is solicited.
