Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] Complaints & Reviews

Recently i got married & residing at Velachery, Chennai. We have inquired at S.E.Muthusamy Indane Gas Agency, Velachery for new gas connection; they told that Ration Card is a mandatory requirement for any new connections. So we have applied for Ration Card & the copy of acknowledgement has been submitted for Registration of new Gas connection & has been registered in my husband’s name.

A couple of days before i have received a letter for new gas booking with indane. When i called them through telephone there was no response. So i have approached them directly with all particulars required. But now they are denying that without my husband’s signature they are not ready to do the new gas booking. He is out of station for 2 months wherein they have mentioned in the letter that it is valid upto 30 days. He is ready to send an authorisation letter along with his photograph. But there was a very poor response at their end.

We have already waited for a month, as discussed with the agency, we need to wait for another 2 months till my husband come back & need to register newly once again & have to wait for a month’s time for gas booking & after booking again we need to wait for 3 months for getting the gas connection.

For getting a single gas connection, the total waiting time is nearly 7 months. Kindly look into the matter & please do the needful on time.


Help me in this regard
Your help is highly appreciated.

We have recently moved 5 - 6 MONTHS TO pallikarnai. Earlier we haved near Ashoknagar and the LPG of HPCL delivery was perfect. After moving to this agency we are facing problem, over telephone we cannot call them for LPG registering either it is busy round the clock or while ringing no body is bothered to pick up the lines at times we have to go personally that too it is not near to medavakkam (from there it is 1km) if we go there no response. Once we inform them personally, then also target date was not met. The lpg will take their own time to delivery. I cannot catch out the Manager/Owner of the said agency. HPCL, Pl. check and look into the agency they are delivery LPG to their customer on time and complaints has been taken in the right spirit.

I am customer of vikram gas agency, west kidwai nagar, new delhi. I have trying to booking gas by telephone last two days, but whole day 4 telephone numbers are ingage or not response. The staff of this agency the telephone receiver keep out side of telephone. These nos. are[protected],[protected],[protected] &[protected]

Please examine the case and take proper action agaist vikram agency.

My Consumer No. is 34581, HPT-95, Sarojininagar, New Delhi.

Dear IOCL..
I bought a Hyundai i-10 car from Chandigarh in jun 08. i was given free petrol coupons worth Rs 2700 by the dealer. The vouchers were a joint initiative by IOCL and HMIL to promote fuel efficiency of their new car.
The experience of redeeming the coupons at IOCL outlets has been a dissappointing experince ever since. Almost all of the IOCL petrol pumps that i approached state that they are not aware of any such offer and cannot allow redemption of the vouchers. It sometimes gets one into a very embarassing situation. i even have got looks as if i had faked these vouchers and was trying to fleece IOCL.
It is my earnest request as a consumer that since it is noe mentioned in the vouchers that the offer is accepted at selected outlets only..it is understood that it is accepted countrywide at IOCL petrol pumps. The plight of the customer is to be understood by the company and suitable awareness is to be generated amongst pump owners. Otherwise IOCL should desist from offers that serve the pupose of marketing gimmicks.
An early solution to this problem is desirable.

Thanks

Respected Sir/Madam,

On Oct 11, 2008, I went to TUCS(Abiramapuram Indane Gas Agency No, 91, St.Mary Road, Chennai 600028) for requesting refill of my gas. Every month I had to go personally and book for the refill as most of time the phone connection will be engaged and unattended. I also been there to request for the reduction of Rs. 30 in the bill as per the new announcement from Government. Company expects consumers to come personally to verify the ration card for this. I did all this 2 months back but still it was not reflected in their record and every month i was forced by the sales boy to pay 30 Rupees extra. one more point to note here is, even though we pay 339.60 and 10 rupees for sales boy the bill amounts to 289.00. I am really not sure why officials are still not taken any action again this. Then where my 50 Rupees is going?

When I checked this with the attender in the office by name Sakthi, he spoke very rudely and challenged me to do whatever I want. He also said that I will not get the refill in 20 days and also the bill will not be reduced.
This made me to write this mail and expecting officials to take action against him so that it will not happen to any public in future.

Hoping that some action will be taken. I will not going to stop with this, I request public reading my grievances to direct me to appropriate officials in IOC to contact or any advice regarding this would be of great help to me.

Thanks
M.S Sukumar

Sir/Madam,
I got my indane gas connection transferred from M/s Durga Indane Gas Agency Sanjauli, Shimla to M/s Uttam Indane Gas Service, Below BCS, New Shimla, Himachal Pradesh on 24.9.2008. I was issued a new Consumer number (No. uG-14674) vide Indane Customer Transfer Subscription Voucher No. 2226410 issued by M/s Uttam Gas the same day. I also requested for booking of refill on the same day i.e.24.9.2008 and was told that it will take 3-4 days for the delivery of refill. However, I did not receive the refill for over one week and so went to M/s Uttam Gas on 3.10.2008 to apprise them of the non-delivery of refill and again request for delivery of refill. I was assured that I will get the refill the very next day i.e. on 04.10.2008. However, again I was disappointed by non-delivery of refill. On 08.10.2008, I requested M/s Uttam Gas telehonically (on tele no. [protected] to deliver me the cylinder at the agency itself if they had any difficulty in making home delivery but was told that the refill had already been sent and will be delivered by 1600 hrs the same day (08.10.2008). However, when I did not receive the refill by 1600hrs I went to M/s Uttam Gas and requested for provision of refill as I had run out of gas at home. I was told that it is already evening and that refill could only be delivered on 10.10.2008 as next day (09.10.2008) was a Dussehra Holiday. However, I have not so far been delivered the refill not assigned any reasons for that. Therefore, it is requested that my grievance may, please, be addressed at the earliest so that I may be relieved of the undue hardship to which I am being subjected for no fault of mine.
Thanks.

I am a resident of IIT Roorkee - our cooking gas dealer is "Roorkee gas service" (33 Civil Lines, Roorkee). I am fed up with the extreme irregularity of this dealer in distributing gas cylinder refills. As a recent example, when I went to make a booking for a refill of my gas cylinder on Sep 20, I was told about a rule that bookings were done three weeks after the date of delivery of the last cylinder. This meant that we were at the mercy of the gas cylinder deliverer as he would determine when we could make any subsequent booking for our gas cylinder refill. We were already using our spare second cylinder at that point. The people at Roorkee gas service said that they could not do nothing about the matter. I was then given the date Sep 24 to make the booking. On Sep 24, when I went for the second time, I was told that the cylinder would be delivered ten days after booking - Oct 4. As of Oct 11, 17 days after the date of booking, Sep 24, I still have not received a gas cylinder refill. Today when I went to "Roorkee gas service", saying that both our cylinders are now finished and inequired why I had still not received a refill a good 17 days after Sep 24, I was told that they themselves had received fresh cylinders yesterday and that I should be receiving the same on Oct 13. I have been given to understand by a friend in IIT Roorkee who had made a booking about the same time as I, that he had to go again and was then given a cylinder today. What the heck am I supposed to do?

I was given oil mix petrol for my bike TVS Apache 150cc on AUG 06 2008, and found some stress on engine and even spoke with bunk people and they say yes its true and cant do anything. I bought petrol for RS 200/-, and they should have told me if petrol mix and i was not the only guy. Many like dint know the fact and it cost my bike.

Sub.: Delays Delivery of Refill of Cylinder

Ref. : Connection no. 13951

Dear Sir,

I am the consumer of Indane Gas bearing consumer No.: 13951, the supply of refill of cylinder through M/s. Prajal Gas Servoce, Sabarmati, Ahmedabad. I have booked my gas refill connection on July 21, 2008 in Prajal Gas Service, but I regret to inform you that till date August 09, 2008, I have not received my Gas Refill connection from M/s. Prajal Gas Services. Sir, I have hold only one Gas connection and it is very difficult to carry on without Gas connection. I have 18 times call to their office including 7 times personally met with them and requesting to supply my gas connection, but they are deliberately ignored me and misbehavior with me. I suprised to note that the as per rules framed by Government of Gujarat, every family having only gas connection they shall be entitled to Gas connection within 7 days.

I strongly contempt the attitude and request the higher authorities to take the complaint against such Agency under intimation to me. Further, I request to acknowledge my complaint and rectify earliest possible. I Hope to get the delivery of refill of cylinder immediately.


Thanking you,

Yours truly,

Haresh Parmar

Our dealer is Radharaman Gas Services & my Consumer No. is 1436. The regulator became defective in January, 2008 & after lodging a complaint it has been replaced with an old one. I have been requesting the dealer for the last 8 months but the old regulator is not yet replaced. Yesterday(9.10.08) the old regulator stopped functioning and I have dialled[protected] for help. The person on duty has assured to come but did not turn up till 9.00 pm. When contacted he flatly refused to attend, did not tell his name and behaved rudely (You may go & complain anywhere against me, you can't do anything). I shall be grateful if you could kindly arrange to replace the regulator with a new one. It is causing great inconvenience & dangerous too.

Dear Sir,

CONSUMER NO. 1850 – NON DELIVERY OF CYLINDER AND RUDE BEHAVIOUR OF MANAGERS/STAFF/ DELIVERYMAN AT VERMA GAS AGENCY, MANDAVALI, DELHI-110092.

I am writing this e-mail with great anguish and disappointment. SUPPLY FOR THE BOOKING DONE ON 23.09.2008 HAS NOT BEEN AFFECTED TILL 10.10.2008.

I am an Indane consumer (Consumer No. 1850). Earlier I was getting LPG gas through M/s. Roop Gas Agency, New Kondli, Delhi. But to my utter dismay one fine morning when I wanted to book the LPG cylinder, I got a terse reply that I was no more registered with M/s. Roop Gas and that I should contact M/s. Verma Gas Service. THIS ALL HAPPENED WITHOUT ANY PRIOR NOTICE TO ME.

I had no contact numbers of M/s. Verma Gas Service. Hence I had to run from pillar to post to get the contact numbers of your distributor M/s. Verma Gas Agency for booking LPG Cylinder. After toiling for quite some time I was able to get the contact numbers of the above said distributor. However, my experience with the said Agency has not been a memorable one.

SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO REGISTER MY BOOKING FOR LPG CYLINDER WITH VERMA GAS AGENCY ON 23.09.2008. HOWEVER, EVEN ON 10.10.2008 THE LPG CYLINDER HAS NOT YET BEEN DELIVERED TO ME. I am constrained to say that the attitude and behavior of all at Verma Gas Agency is far below than what is desired of a public service organisation. The rude behavior of the booking clerks, the very irresponsible and go to hell attitude of the supervisors/proprietor (SPECIALLY ONE MR. PRAMOD DIXIT) was shocking. When I contacted the agency, the booking clerk tersely informed that the booking had been done and that I should either go to their godown for getting the LPG Cylinder or contact one Mr. Ram Sagar on Mobile No. [protected] or check with the Deliveryman.

Unfortunately, the Mobile No. [protected] is perpetually switched off and the deliveryman Mr. Lokesh seems to be in complete control of the affairs at the Varma Roop Gas Agency. He is in a habit of entering in arguments with the consumers, using abusing language, delivering the underweight cylinders and providing LPG Cylinders to unauthorized persons for a higher price. THIS DEFINITELY SMELLS OF A DEEP NEXUS BETWEEN THE DELIVERYMAN AND THE MANAGERS AT THE VERMA GAS AGENCY.

The result is that the honest and genuine consumers are being harassed by all at the said Varma Gas Agency. YOU CAN APPRECIATE THE PLIGHT OF A CONSUMER WHO HAS DONE THE BOOKING ON 23.09.2008 AND HAS NOT RECEIVED THE LPG CYLINDER TILL 10.10.2008. This is all despite the fact that in my neighbourhood delivery for booking done on 03.10.2008 has been effected on 04.10.2008.

On 04.10.2008 I tried to reason with Mr. Pramod Dixit on the issue but he was not at all willing to listen. He was very discourteous, rude and the only reply that he gave was that he will check the status of the booking EVEN THOUGH TO HIS own ADMISSION THE DELIVERY WAS BEING EFFECTED THE SAME DAY AND THERE WAS NO QUEUE FOR delivery of cylinders which was being effected the same day. Again on 08.10.2008 I contacted Verma Gas Agency and the reply was the same that I should go to the godown or contact Mr. Ram Sagar on Mobile No. [protected] (which was again constantly switched off).

I am bringing the above to your kind notice with a fervent hope that my grievances will be redressed expeditiously and suitable action would be taken against the erring Gas Agency and its proprietors/employees.

Kind Regards

I was refused by the Distributor M/s Bhushan Indane Service, to issue new connection without Ration Card, I contacted Rajkot Area Manager Mr P Katkar, and he talked to distributor to give new connection which I got on 22.11.2007.
Now they are harrasing by not booking cylinder and DBC. I tried to book thru' IVRS, but they are not giving delivery, saying that your connection is cancelled because you dn't have ration card. I Emaild my problrm to Mr P katkar (Area Manager rajkot) and Mr K Kutty ( Manager Mumbai office) but no responce from any one.
