Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir,
This isto draw your kindattention that I am consumer of Indane gas From Dogra agency, Dighawani, Parasia, In chhindwara district in M.P Through Franchisee Ganesh Gupta in Newton Colliery, Parasia.
There is shortage of gas and therefore he charges extra 100 to150 Rupees per gas to give consumer their gas, moreover he never take bookings and supplies gases to his acquatances and in motels and hotels depriving the consumers.
we the consumers are left with no other option but to pay high prices for getting per cylinder of gas.
so, it is my earnest request to kindly intervene into the matter and take decision accordingly

Unfortunately I am consumer of your gas agency name Bedi Indane, B-43, Kartar Nagar, Main 3½ Pusta, Delhi-110053, Ph. 22946868, 22946800, Consumer No. BI-2119 Delhi last somany years. Firstly phones line always busy i[censored] want to book ur gas then u have to wait two hour or so. They booked gas after 15 or 20 days and send our home after 10 days when We make many time call to him. They already book my cylinder when I book my cylinder. They book my cylinder himself and doing black marketing to it. When I am going to his office they send my cylinder without booking. This is very rediculious. i would request you to pls do something otherwise i have to go another way. thats it.

Dear Sir:

This is to inform you that I had booked for LPG gas cylinder on August 30, 2008 and the gas agency "Sahaj Enterprises" told me that they will deliver the cylinder after 4-5 days. Today, I called the agency, now they told me that they will be able to supply the cylinder after 10-12 days.

Further to inform you that each and every time after booking they deliver the cylinder after 10-15 days later.

My humble request to you, please take the necessary action in this regard so that consumer harassment will be stopped.

Thanking you,

Sincerely yours,

Navin Arya

Dear Sir,
I am a consumer of Indane gas (Consumer no.23457) through M/s Parul Gas Agency, Hardev Nagar, Jharoda, Delhi-110084. I have booked Gas on 25.08.2008 and delivery boy (Mr. Rajesh) brought the cylinder on 01.09.2008 around 3.00 pm. That time I was not at home, my father asked him to bring the weighing machine and he replied that my machine out of order since last three months. After that my father refused to take the cylinder without weighing because since last months he delivered the leakage cylinder and also threat that (Lena hai to lo nai to apki gas hamesha ke liye band karwa dunga). Then my father informed me over phone at that time I was in office and I tried to talk in above gas agency but there is no person to attend the phone.

Please note that the delivery boy was not in Indane Uniform and he had no weighing machine which is mandatory.

This is clearly shows that agencies persons are involved in this type of theft. Without agencies people how delivery boy can do the same.

Please take the necessary action against the M/s Parul Gas Agency and Mr. Rajesh also.

We had already told to the agency many times but there is no proper response from their side.

After that I had sent a mail to Mr. Ashok Chhatwani, Sales Officer, but there is no response towerds him. So I am sending this mail to you.

Waiting response from your side at the earliest.

Thanking You,

Yours Sincerely

I have booked for LPG cylender on[protected] but till date the distributer has failed to suply the same to my residence. They even denied to inform me as to when they will suply the same. By this time I am facing lots of problem without LPG cylender.

I am a low usage consumer of LPG consuming 1 cylinder every 6-8 months. We assiduously try to conserve gas due to environmental and social reasons. A few days back, I tried to book a refill (after 8 months), I was told that my connection has been deactivated and I have to go to area office to get it reactivated. In the area office I explained my position and the officer endorsed my application and assured me that my annual consumption of 2-3 cylinders would be noted and I would not be bothered again. When I went to the dealer, I was informed that since the "new software" would not accept a one time endoresmet I have to go to the area office EACH time I want a new cylinder and get an fresh endorsement. I called the area office again and told the dealer to talk to the official. Then the official told me that "either I can get the endorsement every time or I can discontinue the service".

I wrote a complaint to the IOC from their website, and got a stock reply that it is their "policy". Request for further information on this poilcy has been ignored.

I would like to file an RTI to find out what this "policy" is. As consumers are we not supposed to know what this policy is? How can IOC deactivate the acct. without any notice? Since this is a recent phenomenon how come they did not inform the public about this?

When I was at the agency I was surprised to note that many consumers were in the same position.

I have checked with HP, they also have this new policy.

Thanks

I am consumer of INDANE from M/s Shuklaganj Gas Service, Agency code 155794, Shuklaganj 209861. Unnao. My consumer number is 15342.

Whenever a consumer goes to agency for refilling after 3-4 hours of standing in line the men of the agency call the consumer on a fixed date after 3 to 4 days. Then they put a stamp on the voucher and give another date to come. Again on said date consumer has to stand in line for 4-5 hours. Then they receive money and give one slip and ask to come after 6-7 days to get the cylinder. On that day again consumer has to stand 4-5 hours in line to get a cylinder. Many times after 4-5 hours they inform that cylinders have finished come on next day. That is the way this agency is working. Consumer is getting cylinder refilled after 60-75 days.

One old lady, who was 72, had a problem in walking. On 25th August 2008, she came to get the voucher stamped. From 7.00 am to 12.00 noon she kept standing in the line. At 12.00 noon agency owner informed the consumer that required number of vouchers have been stamped, now rest of people will go back and come again on next day. Crowed started arguing with agency owner. The man and his employees started pushing the crowed out from his shop. The old lady who was standing there felt down on the ground and got hurt on her head. I took her to nearby nursing home and back to her house after required treatment.
I had a talk with Mr.Sudhakar Giri, Area Sales Manager, Panki, Kanpur on this issue. I asked him to order the agency for home delivery. I was surprised, when he told me that he can not do any thing. HOME DILIVERY IS NOT POSSIBLE. Next day agency owner refused to give me any refilling, because I have persuaded the matter to the senior official. Now he is saying, “Go Bajpai, Do, what ever you feel like. Now You will never receive any refilling.

I am surprised to understand that Mr. Giri is backing the agency. How can he refuse home delivery? Why can not consumer get refilling after 30 days?

I humbly request you to look in to the matter and do the needful. I request you to punish the agency and such officer, So that in future no one is harassed.

Dear Sir
I am a consumer having single cylinder facility and want to have double cylinder as I am having big familiy. But since four month passed our local gas agency 'Mahanta Indane' is time and again repeating the same answer that 'until unless the company allows new gas connection we can't provide you the same and the company has stopped new connection for time being', though no such circular has been notified for consumer information. Very recently an enlarged paper cut of your circular (in oriya) has been sticked before the counter for consumer notice that 'Indian Oil has stopped new gas connection'.

Costumer harashment like 'irregularities in distribution' is a regular practice here. That may be due to poor communication facilities or else ; but as a consumer I would like to suggest you that to avoid the overload on 'Mahanta Indane' one more counter should be opened in this localities as the locality population is more than 2 lakhs (approx).

Kindly look into the matter and help me to run smooth family life.

Waiting the best from your end.

Thanking You

Sir/Madam,

I am consumer of Indane Gas. Our area service provider is “SUKH-DHAM GAS SERVICE”, C-8/4, Shopping Centre, Lawrence Road, Delhi-35. It is our long experience with them that they never respond on phone. For any problem, we have to go all the way to their door step, quite far from our residence. For instance, on 29.8.08, leakage was detected in cylinder. I tried to contact the Gas Agency on phone but I could not do so and Field Officer’s Mobile was also out of reach. Help Line Numbers 23411282, 23411654 & Emergency Nos. 23841235, 23846584 were also out of reach. I had to come back from my work place and lodge the complaint in person. Today again, I had to rush to their office for registering my complaint for leakage but that proved fruitless and complaint was not attended to. I requested them to give Complaint Book, I was told that Complaint Book cannot be given, as being the last day of the month, the same has been sent to IOCL.

Further more, their delivery personnel, while delivering gas cylinder, never carry weighing machine and are reluctant to weigh the cylinder.

It is requested that “SUKH-DHAM GAS SERVICE” may kindly be instructed to be customer friendly and caring.

Thanks.
Yours faithfully,

Dear Sir / Madam

I introduce myself as a Customer to Indane Cooking Gas. I am residing at # 52, Kaikondarahalli, Near Bus stop, Carmelram post,
Sarjapur Road, Bangalore 560035.

My Gas connection is thro you dealer KK Indane Enterprises, near Iblur bus stop in Sarjapur road vide Consumer # D0064322.

This time we have booked for cylinder on 11th August but regret to note that as on today (29th Aguust) we have not received the Cylinder supply from your dealer for reasons not known to us.

We are not getting any clear status inspite of our repeated follow up calls / personal visit to the dealer's place.

One one hand we are literally struggling with such hsort of short supplies and on the other hand we are really surprised as to how Indian oil / Indane is able to manage with such dealers in today's COMPETITIVE WORLD

Kindly check with the dealer from your side and resolve the issues at once

Delivery not in time
Dear Sir,

Myself Bijumohan, Customer No. 22457_ K. Balakrishna pillai has booked a refil cylinder on 10th July 2008, the booking number is 3139 with your POORNIMA GAS AGENCY, PARAKKODE, near ADOOR IN KERALA.

I contacted to the gas agency on 11the July 2008 for the refill. They said that within two week the refiil willbe delivered. On 5th August 2008 the refill sylinder van came to our nearhouse Junction Thuvayoor, there are somany customers waited for hours.

The van came, some refill delivered. But many house wives cannot get the sylinder. The authority persons said that the refill syliders were finished. The one or two hours waited customers desperated.

Then, on August 18, 2008 the delivery van again came. But don't touch my near house junction.

On 23rd August the delivery van again came to my near house jucntion. They delivered to some customers. They replied to our questions that the refill delivery will be the next day.

But, at this day we are unable to get the refill.

Sir, in daytime the oldage housewives were waited for the refill toomany hours.

By phone the poornima gas agency authorities told the customers the refill will be delivered 10am, ... 5pm, ...tomorrow morning, ...no stock... and so and so...

What a pathetic situation is this...
In Kerala the Onam season coming soon. Your agencies customer treatment being very poor.



from 18th Aug.08 as I was told that delivery will be after 8-10 days. SInce then I am being told in 2-3 days you will receive the delivery. But I am sorry to tell that till 21 days I have not received refill and after delivery for next 21 days there will be no booking. The second cylinder will also get empty. We have Ganpati Festival in the house during first week.

It is suggested to allot third cylinder to me to meet such trend of supplies from this RADHIKA GAS agency.

Similar situation was faced during the month of December 2007 wherein your intervention had given me delivery of cylinder

Thanks,

Yours faithfully,

Bijumohan
for Customer No22457

I am a consumer of LPG Indane having consumer no. DI-4129 at Dev indras Durg (CG). I had booked for the gas telephonically on 8.8.2008. but till today they have yet to deliver after 19 days despite several reminders. they used to say that it would be delivered next day but it never came. Today the situation has come that we are left with no gas even to cook the dineer and the frenchise is not lifting the phone. this is the height of the situation and attracts immediate attention. It is requested to issue necessary instructions to the officers concerned to investigate the reasons of non supply and to ensure regular and immediate supply.

Dear Sir,
This is regarding my indane connection ( Consumer no. 6176 with M/s Shanti Indane, Sadh Nagar, palam, New Delhi. Tel no.[protected] attached to agency. Everytime when gas is booked, gas availability is not there at godown. It needs 2/3 visits to get one cylender. Also they do not deliver cylender at home. I am very much frustrated by interactation with agency people that everytime they give false committments.

Now in present case, gas was booked on 26th July2008 and till now there is no delivery. I personally visited their office on 23rd Aug and got that cylender will reach on 25th Aug. I contacted them on 25th on not recving cylender and got another word that same would be delivered on 26th. Now on 27th also there is no surity abou it.

I have followed up with Mr. pandey/Mr. Pankaj/ Ms. Sheetal/Mr. Vicky but no satisfied answer. I asked th contact No. of Mr. Prem Juneja ( Agency owner) but nobody arranged.

Now I am requesting the concerned authority to take action on such agencies who do not take care for customers. There are many other consumers who do not have any knowledge about complaint and keep on getting trouble.

thanks/best regards,
Manoj
