Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir

I am having an LPG Gas Connection-Indian Oil in the name of Gopakumar Nair. The agency - M/s Roop Gas Agency - is located at New Kondli, Mayur Vihar - III, Delhi - 96.

Please note that when I want to book a cylinder over phone I will always get this response 'the dial number is busy, please dial after some time'. Only the phone bell gets ringing during their break time (i.e. means lunch and after 6.00 P.M. - that time there is no one to attend the phone).

Also note that each and every time this agency take more than 1 week time for delivery of gas and some times they are refused to give booking number also.

All other agencies are supplying the gas within 24 hrs including indian oil why this agency is taking so much time and harrssing bonafide customers.

So I kindly request concerned authorities to look into the matter urgently.

Regards,
Gopakumar Nair

My connection, C No. 11597, with BRIGHT GAS SERVICE, Trichy Rd., Coimbatore collected Rs. 150/- towards replacement of defective regulator on 26/09/08 though the notice board displays nil charge for replacement of defective regulator. Suggest update the notice board to have transperancy of charges. First they refused to give receipt but on insisting, gave a receipt. Notice board shows Rs. 250 for new regulator but replaced regulator is used one.

Sir, 26.09.08

Requisition for supply of Refil was placed 21 days before (i.e. 5th Sept) to M/s Mahamaya Indane, Verma complex, Jagmal Chowk, Bilaspur (Chhattishgarh)but the same is not supplied till date. On contacting over phone. it is asked to lift the cylinder from Godown instead of home delivery.

On placing the requisition, booking number is never given, despite of many request.

Kindly investigate and take suitable action against the Dealer. Also assure regular supply in future.

This distributor has office at No.71/1, mehta Arcade, 15th Crs, 6th Ph, J P Nagar, Bangalore - 560078. They will never pick up the call. I might try some 100 times but always engaged. I don't know whether so many people keep calling tem without a break for even a second !!! Sometimes when it rings, no one will pick up. Very bad service. Do something for this.

"no any complain can do harm to us"
says an employee at balaji gas service (really shaming)
neither you can complain nor yau can get gas cylinders easily and by ready to get misbebaved by the employees on questioning this is all what we want to say about the servicing of balaji gas service faridabad.
they can be sell the gas in black at higher rates but there i no gas for normal suplly. i[censored] ask abut this unfair then there is no answar. and if there is further reasoning by consumers then there is misbehaving by the workers at the gas service. they don't want to listen any thing.all is to be faced by consumer we face...we question...and we get insulted by the workers we also get less gas in cylinders. no body at the center provide. complaint latter & complaint no.. for misbehaving.

there is no difference between a carless govt. employees and the employees at balaji gas service.

Dear Sir/Madam

I am consumer of Indane Gas having no.AGC/1299 with Ajeet Gas Agency, Lucknow (UP) in the name of my father B.K. Srivastava. Now I am getting transfer the above connection to Kathgodam Gas Agency, Kathgodam (Uttarakhand). I have submitted my transfer voucher issued to me by Ajeet Gas Agency, Lucknow (TV no.2126 date 05.04.08) to Kathgoam Gas Agency on 12.04.08. They told me that they will sent a registered post (provided by me) to Ajeet Gas Agency, Lucknow for the confirmation of transfer of gas connection. Now till date I did not get connection because Kathgodam Gas Agency is saying that they will not provide the connection untill the Ajeet Gas Agency will give them confirmation on registered post (showing the registry slip) send to them. Ajeet Gas Agency is saying that they have confirmed the registry and send it to Kathgodam Gas Agency (Showing the registery slip). Registry is missing or whatever reason. But I am suffering due to this lack of communication. Both Agency are not interested to take a confirmation on phone. This circumstance forcing me to refill my gas cylinder in Black which is totally illegal.

The Mess of the Student's Hostels at G.B. Pant University of Agriculture & Technology, Pantnagar Dist. US Nagar Uttaranchal, India are being run on contrat basis. The contractors of these hostels are being supplied Indane LPG gas cylinders made for home use instead of commercial LPG Gas cylinders of Indane by the Pantnagar gas service, Dist US Nagar, Uttaranchal, India which is being run by the Kumanun Vikas Nigam Ltd. Consumers are facing lot of hardships in getting the LPG Gas. The delivery of Gas is being done in 10-15 days and there is lot of irregularities in the LPG gas distribution. These irregularities are required to be rectified.

But till now I have not received the same inspite of many phone calls.Sir I have also one cylinder and for this I am facing a lot of problems.It has also become the habit of Lipi Gas to supply gas after more than 10-15 days. Every month i am facing the same problems, inspite of contacting Sr area manager at belgum.

Therefore I kindly request you to take proper & strict action so that we will not face any problem further.

My consumer No.28092, attached to M/s. Vijay gas Agency located at Besant Nagar, Chennai-Tamil Nadu. I took my ealier (one no cylinder) delivery on 1.08.09 which has got exhausted on 14.09.08. I have registered a service request of refilling on 14.09.08. I have been asked to wait for 15 to 20 days.
Since I have been given only one cylinder how do I run my life waiting of 15 days period.

The same was informed to Mr. U.V. Mannur-In charge of Indane Gas-Tamil nadu State[protected] through my mail on 18.09.09 and also spoken to His PA Mr. Nagaraj about the irresponsible and very lethargic reply from the uneducated staffs of the above said Gas Agency for compensation of either ealier refilling or request for alloting one more cylinder.

It is informed that its highly regrettable because no action has been taken against my compliant by the Indane company .

Dear Sir,
For the last three months onwards, cooking gas refil booking takes more than 25 days in our area (Chelari or Calicut University) and they (Silma Gas) say it will take 50 days now!!! Then we will have both the cylinders empty and what we do? I can not sit at home because firing from my wife. So please supply enough gas to Silma Gas agency, Chettipadi.
Expectingsome reply, with regards,

I have a Gas connection of Indane which had taken from South Delhi Gas Service, Moti Bagh, New Delhi in the year March, 2003 vide consumer No.SE6671. Subsequently change of my residence the gas connection was transferred to Chander Nagar Gas Service, Amrit Plaza, Surya Nagar, Ghaziabad vide Gas Connection No.23114.

I am working in Central Govt. Autonomous Body under Ministry of Culture and my job is transferable to anywhere in India.

Now in the month of March, 2008 on my transfer from Delhi to Kurukshetra, Haryana, I have transferred my Indane Gas Connection from Ghaziabad, U.P. to Kurukshetra, Haryana vide valid transfer slip/voucher. For getting the gas connection transferred at Kurukshetra I contacted the Indane Gas Agency at Kurukshetra, namely, Kurukshetra Gas Agency, Railway Road, Kurukshetra alongwith my transfer voucher but they refused to provide me the gas connection in the pretext of insisting Ration Card for residence identity proof inspite of the fact that I have produced them the copy of my office identity card and a certificate from my employer for residence proof, still the agency is not providing me the gas connection.

So I would like to request you to kindly let me know that whether Radion Card is compulsory for providing gas connection on transfer certificate as this place is a new one for me and it is very difficult to get the Radtion card at this juncture.

Yours obediently,
HARSHA KUMAR.K.M.

Dear Sir,

I had booked through net to refill LPG through my Indian Oil Agent M/s Vidyasagar Gas Agency at Pitampura Delhi vide Booking No.22 on 2nd Sep 08.

When we did not receive the gas we contacted it was informed that it was deliveered to us BY HAND which we never took. It appears that they deliberated sold the refill in black. thisis the thisrd time in a row happening to us.
Instead of verifying at the time of delivery they are verifying us when making a compalaint asking for 20 yr original booking receipt of gas connection
This is the height of malpractices. Can someone look into it

Thanks

GAS CONNECTION NO-1820

Sir
I am a Govt Employee in ICAR freshly recruited this year in Delhi So I needed a New LPG connection in the city. I have been living in Krishi vihar colony, near chirag delhi. new delhi-48 since last april. I have sufficient documents to prove my local address and identity.

There is the Indane Gas Agency Named "cactus lily enterprises" in my locality. I am regularly in contact with that gas agency for getting the new connection but there is one Answer always that No new connections are available now and come after one month. Is it possible that So big Named PSU has non availability of LPG connections.

It is very inconvenient to live without Gas as I am living with my small family so please look into the matter and try to solve out the problem

A BIG HELLO TO ALL,

I APPLIED FOR A NEW INDANE GAS CYLINDER IN THE MONTH OF JANUARY, 2008 WITH M/S. SNEHA GAS SERVICE, 33, RAI MOHAN BANERJEE ROAD KOLKATA - 700 108, CODE NO.99193891 AND THEY ASKED FOR A RESIDENTIAL PROOF. I SUBMITTED COPY OF MY ELECTRICITY BILL. I WAS NOT GIVEN ANY DOCUMENT FROM M/S. SNEHA GAS SERVICE AND I WAS TOLD THAT THE LETTER WILL BE REACHED AT MY RESIDENSE WHEN IT WILL BE ALLOTTED.

I GOT THE LETTER OF ALLOTMENT ON 6TH SEPTEMBER, 2008 (SATURDAY). I WENT TO M/S. SNEHA GAS SERVICE WITH THE LETTER OF ALLOTMENT AND I WAS TOLD TO SUBMIT THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS AND COME NEXT DAY. THE LIST OF DOCUMENTS REQUIRED BY SGS ARE AS UNDER :-
1. PROOF OF RESIDENSE. 2. IDENTITY PROOF, 3. RS. 4000/- APPROX, 4. AFFIDAVIT MENTIONING THREE POINTS viz., THAT I AM AN INDIAN CITIZEN, THAT I HAVE NO CYLINDER IN MY HOUSE AND THAT I SHALL NOT BE USING CYLINDER OF ANY OTHER PSU COMPANIES IN FUTURE.

WHEN I ASKED THAT WHY SHOULD I SUBMIT AN AFFIDAVIT THE SGS PERSON TOLD ME THAT IT IS COMPULSORY REQUIREMENT AS PER CIRCULAR BUT HE COULD NOT TOLD ME THE CIRCULAR NUMBER THAT TIME AS HE SAID IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE AT THAT TIME.

I SUBMITTED ALL THE REQUIRED DOCUMENTS ASKED BY THE SGS PERSON AND WHEN VISITED THE OFFICE ALONGWITH ALL THE DOCUMENTS AGAIN THE SGS PERSON TOLD ME THAT THEY HAVE NOT YET RECEIVED THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT CARD FROM THE POST OFFICE AS PROOF OF RECEIPT OF ALLOTMENT LETTER. TILL TODAY THEY ARE SAYING THAT THEY HAVE NOT RECEIVED THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT CARD, THUS THEY CANNOT ISSUE THE CYLINDER AND ITS ACCESSORIES. ALSO THEY ARE SAYING THAT ALL THE ACCESSORIES INCLUDING WOVEN WILL HAVE TO BE TAKEN FROM THE SGS.

NOW I WANT TO CLARIFY THE FOLLOWING POINTS :

1. WHETHER AFFIDAVIT AS ASKED BY SGS IS COMPULSORY, IF YES, KINDLY PROVIDE ONE COPY OF
THE CIRCULAR.

2. AT THE TIME OF APPLICATION OF NEW CONNECTION WHETHER ANY DOCUMENT IS GIVEN BY
THE DISTRIBUTOR TO THE CUSTOMER, BECAUSE I WAS NOT GIVEN ANY DOCUMENT AS A PROOF
OF BOOKING.

3. I APPLIED FOR NEW CONNECTION IN JANUARY, 2008 AND GOT THE LETTER OF ALLOTMENT IN
SEPTEMBER, 2008, WHILE I KNOW A PERSON WHO APPLIED IN THE SAME GAS AGENCY (SGS) IN
THE MONTH OF MAY, 2008 AND ALSO GOT THE LETTER OF ALLOTMENT IN SEPTEMBER, 2008.
HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE. HOW CAN THE GAP OF 5 MONTHS IN BOOKING CAN BE BRIDGED IN THE
SAME MONTH OF ALLOTMENT.

4. IS IT COMPULSORY TO TAKE ALL THE APPLIANCES INCLUDING WOVEN FROM THE GAS
DISTRIBUTOR ? THE GAS DISTRBUTOR (SGS) HAS TOLD YES IT IS COMPULSORY. WHILE I HAVE
AN ARTICLE ISSUED IN PUBLIC INTEREST BY THE MINISTRY OF PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS,
GOVT. OF INDIA, IN THE TELEGRAH ON 3RD MARCH, 2007, WHETHER IT IS CLEARLY MENTIONED
AS, I QUOTE " CUSTOMERS ARE FREE TO CHOOSE ANY BIS APPROVED BRAND OF HOT PLATES AND
ACCESSORIES. IT IS NOT COMPULSORY TO BUY THESE PRODUCTS FROM THE LPG DISTRIBUTOR."
KINDLY CONFIRM WHO IS RIGHT THE DISTRIBUTOR OR GOVT. OF INDIA.

5. IS THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENT CARD IS COMPULSORY FOR ISSUEING THE GAS CYLINDER. WHAT IF
THE POST OFFICE IS DELAYING EITHER, OR IT IS MISPLACED BY THE POST OFFICE. SHOULD THE
CUSTOMER SUFFER FOR THIS. WHETHER THE LETTER OF ALLOTMENT RECEIVED BY ME IS NOT
ENOUGH PROOF AS IT HAS GOT THE STAMP OF THE GAS DISTRIBUTOR AND IT HAS MENTIONED
THE SERIAL NUMBER OF BOOKING OF IOC (NO.544 DATED[protected].

6. WHEN I ENQUIRED ABOUT THE CURRENT POSITION OF BOOKING I WAS TOLD BY THE SGS
PERSON THAT THEY HAVE ISSUED 200 LETTERS OUT OF WHICH ONLY 15 ACKOWLEDGEMENT
CARD THEY HAVE RECEIVED AND NOT YET RECEIVED THE A/D RECEIPT OF 185 CUSTOMERS. IF
THIS IS THE RATIO OF RECEIPT OF A/D CARD THEN I THINK IT WILL TAKE A DECADE TO GET THE
NEW GAS CONNECTION.

7. THE GAS DISTRIBUTOR PERSON ALWAYS SAY THAT THEY HAVE A CIRCULAR FOR DOING THIS, IF
THIS IS THE FACT WHY NOT THOSE CIRCULARS ARE DISPLAYED FOR THE CUSTOMERS, BECAUSE
ULTIMATLEY THOSE DOCUMENTS OR WHATEVER IS REQUIRED THROUGH A CIRCULAR WILL BE
GIVEN OR FOLLOWED THE CUSTOMERS.

8. LAST BUT NOT THE LEAST, WHETHER IT IS COMPULSORY TO DISPLAY PROPER NAME, FULL
ADDRESS AND AGECNY CODE NUMBER OF THE LPG DISTRIBUTOR AT THE PLACE OF THEIR
BUSINESS OR NOT. IF YES, THEN WHY NOT SGS HAS DISPLAYED FULL ADDRESS AND AGENCY
CODE NUMBER ON ITS HOARDING ALSO NO PHONE NUMBER WAS ALSO MENTIONED.

9. MAHATMA GANDHI AND ALL OTHER BUSINESS ORGANISATION HAS SAID THAT CUSTOMERS
ARE GOD FOR THE BUSINESS. IS IT NOT BUSINESS WHAT THEY ARE DOING. GOD ARE TREATED
LIKE DOG. IS IT JUSTIFIED. WHY THE BEHAVIOUR OF THESE TYPES OF AGENCIES ARE SO ROUGH.
THIS MUST BE DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY ARE OVERCONFIDENT THAT NOTHING IS GOING TO
HAPPEN WITH THEIR AGECNY AND NO ONE IS GOING TO TAKE ANY ACTION AGAINST THEM.


I, THEREFORE, HUMBLY REQUEST THE AUTHORITY TO TAKE PROPER ACTION AGAINST THE
ABOVE REFERRED POINTS. WHATEVER IS THE FACT IT SHOULD BE TRANSPARENT.

Respected Sir,

I have an Indane gas connection with Sudheendra Gas Agency, Indane Distributors, 80 Feet Road, Hennur Road, 2nd Main, H.B.R. Layout, Bangalore 560 084. My Indane Consumer number is S-19683.

The issue is that when I call them to book the refill cylinder, over the phone they just tell me that the booking is done and do not give me the booking number. They do not book the refill and falsely tell me that I would get my cylinder in 3 days. When I had called them again to check why the cylinder has not been delivered, another lady, at the counter told me that I had not booked the cylinder at all. She books the refill later. They are not taking the refill bookings even after 21 days. They say that the computer system is not allowing them to book and therefore they would book it later. This increases the refill delivery time to 45days. When asked, why they are doing such injustice, they are arrogantly replying to me saying “Go and complaint to whom ever you want”.

Sir, I would like you to see into this matter and bring justice for this kind of issues. They are also showing favoritism to certain other customers. Now, that I have questioned them about their behavior they have increased my delivery time. I have also called the sales office telephone number i.e. 22239473 to complain to some authorities about such unjust behavior. The lady who picked up the telephone also supported the gas agency and informs indirectly that, I will have to suffer any ways. Even she was telling me to go and complaint whoever I want to and where ever I want to. Such impolite officers are blocking our efforts to solve such unjust behavior with public service.

Sir, I request you to reply to my mail and provide me links to contact higher authorities. This matter has already gone to the agency through Indane officers and now, the agency is taking revenge on me trying to get 1 refill cylinder per month.

Request your kind self to do the needful.

Yours Sincerely
Luther VK
