Indian Oil Corporation [IOC] — inspection charges of rs.150/- per year.

Chennai, Tamil Nadu, 600 020

Alongwith the gas bill there was another so called bill atqtached to it, without signature or date or the consumer name and without even distributor's name on it for rs.150/-. When asked for explanation, the delivery boy said that it was for inspection charges. When asked about the inspection form, he said it was not required! And when asked what inspection did he carried out he said that he had inspected whether the new cylinder supplied had the 'o' ring inside the nozzle! How can indane sent the delivery boy to dothe inspection, who doesn't even know the basic things nor he can read the inspection form! And the amount is supposed to be for two years. But the delivery boy was arguing that it is for each year! What is the truth? Is it yet another way on the part of indane to oblige the distributors without enhancing commission themselves, passing the burden onto the consumer, or are they also a party to the loot?
