Mahadiscom / MSEB / MSEDCL Complaints & Reviews

<IF it is read and acted by MSEB complaint officers>
MSEB has not improved yet in spite of bifurcating in two companies. The officers and the employees are still in British Rule. It can be ascertained from my experience. I am (Dinesh Bhonde) resident of Sai Apartments, 18 Khare town Dharmpeth Nagpur. MSEB Consumer number[protected] meter in name of Mohini Constructions, Nagpur (I tried to change the meter in my name but the procedure is so bloody, it kills you. A consumer asking meter in his name, the MSEB does not give. This is the only organization which is barring customers not to do good things for the company.)

In March 2011, I did not receive electricity bills. Perhaps not send by MSEB. Because they do not have any proof of sending it to me. I always pay bill online by transferring money by net banking. As I did not receive the bill I could not pay it.The last date of the bill was 16th March 2011 and later it was to be paid with some fine. On 23rd evening I received the phone call from my wife that our power is cut. I left my important office work and rushed home and then to MSEB office. I came to know that my bill was some Rs 803 and not paid by 16th March, therefore power is cut. I asked him how my power is cut without intimating me by phone, sms, email or orally, But the poor chap did not have answer. He asked me to pay the bill by cheque. I went to home brought the cheque and gave him. He said he wouldl send the persons to connect the wire. The class four employees whom we call linemen were chatting and sharing tobacco occupying all chairs in office ( Shankar Nagar Power House Office) spreading their legs. I asked them to come but they did not. I went home after half an hour I rang to Executive Engineer. Then these persons come after 2 hours and connected my wire. We were in dark for 4 hours, I had to suspend all my pre assignments. The questions arise--
1) The bill it self mentions that, you have to pay Rs 803 after due date instead of 790.- means Late Fee
2) The MSEB should intimate if they have any such rule to cut the power after 7 days of due date without informing the customer.WE will challenge in the court
3) Who has given MSEB class 4 employee right to cut the power, break the seals and remove the grip?
4)How the customers can be put to trouble without intimating them of non payment of bills and the power cut.
5) The MSEB officers I feel understand recent technology as they have provided facility of online bill payment. Why they do not inform the customers of non payment and the action that would be taken by SMS, Letter, Phone Call or email

I suppose there is no such a rule, The local employees are doing such things for earning bribe and threatening customers
Te MSEB officers concern with this, I request to start the inquiry and punish the culprits.

Dear Sir/Madam,
It has been observed that from past few months our electricity bill is higher than our consumption. We have even filed a complaint in Maharashtra state electricity office ,Pune in the month of December 2010 but have not received anything from them.
Request you to look into this matter.

Thanking You,
Namrata

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am facing the problem of mental harashment from MSEB rep Mr Jaybhaye Jr Engineer,as the team under him is not taking physical meter readings and put always either meter not working or no initial or final meter readings in the bill which results in excessive bill and no one bother for the same.

Can you help me to resolve in the same please?

Even after payment of Electricity Bill My connection was cut yesterday. This has happened twice. I make the payments through online only. but i think there is some problem with the online bill collection centre and the recovery department. beause of this we the CUSTOMER are suffring. If they are providing the online facility then proper co-ordination between their department shuld be there. Why we shuold run behind them for MSEDCL's internal co-ordination.

THE CHIEF ENGINEER SPEED POST
NAGPUR ZONE,
VIDYUT BHAVAN,
KATOL ROAD,
NAGPUR-440013.

Sub: Fluctuation of power supply during day time in the supply of Pole No.GS-5 of Dubey Layout, Nagpur.

Sir,

Your immediate attention is required to my letter dated[protected] followed by my reminder dated[protected], where in it was reported to the office of Chief Engineer that because of the illegal connections to the welding shops in Dubey Layout area the supply line provided to the residences in the area suffers from heavy fluctuation and causing the appliances to go bed.

It is needless to mention that the fluctuation does cause the failure of the electrical appliances which are very sensitive to the supplied voltage and as a result of fluctuation recently my Fridge and an LCD TV got affected and need lot of money to get it repair.

In the given premises will the MSEB pay me the repairing charges, cost of mental agony and the conveyances which are spent to take the affected units to repairing shop????????

During the period 2005 the then officer got implanted CONDENSERS on the supply line of the Welding Shops and after that the situation had improved, though it was compromising. After that we had been out of Nagpur because of Transfers and now after retirement I have settled here in my house finally but again I am facing the same problem of fluctuation. The issue was referred to Shri S.S. Matte, the area Asst. Engineer about 15 days back but till date no effective action has been taken on my complaint. The very non action of Shri S.S. Matte, Asst. Engineer of Jaital Road Office reflect that wilfully he is not taking any action to set right the cause of fluctuation for the reasons best known to everybody. Nonetheless he has not even bothered to visit these Welding Shops and/or has issued any show cause notice for not implanting the REQUIRED CONDENSERS on their supply line.

However, it is requested that an unaffected, un-fluctuated power supply is customers right and it should be provided to them.

Immediate instructions may please be issued to the Asst. Engineer to take the action and get the fluctuation fix on the stated electric pole supply.

Thanks

Yours truly,


Chander Verma

I am consumer of Maharashtra State Electricity distribution Co. Ltd. My customer Number :[protected]
I was out of station during July to Dec 2010, hence my usage of electricity at residence was zero.
For all these months from August till December I received bill showing reading faulty & charged for average usage of 71 units costing Rs.280/- every month. To avoid any issues I paid all bills through internet payment.
So I have paid un-necessarily 280 X 5 = Rs. 1400
I have received Jan 2011 correct bill for actual use of 22 units, which I have paid.
Please reverse this amount of money in next month’s bills.
I have written to the emails as adviced on the bill '[protected]@ho.mahadiscom.in'
but never got any responce on the emails.
Request this to be sorted out & need to be considered as advance payment for next bill.

I have changed my house recently in new complex at Thergaon, Chinchwad. In my electricity bill there is spelling error in my surname. It is the sole & important address proof for me. I have already submitted the application twice in last two months in MSEB office at Bijalinagr, Chinchwad, Pune along with photo ID and latest bill copy. However no action by MSEB.

My surname appears as UPADIYAYA instead o[censored]PADHYAY. Same mistake in Hindi (as pronounced)

What can I do to get immediate attention on this issue.

I Paresh Suresh Parkar, staying at Sai Sahavas, Varchi Wadi, Achara, Tal – Malvan, District Sindhudurg. From the day when I shifted to my new house here, I'm facing overhead wire problem The Overhead wire of the high tension pole was at a distance of 5 - 10 feet away from my row house roof. I request you to kindly remove the overhead wire from my row house roof so that in future we are not facing any problem.

Please Oblige

From last Six months the peaple living in Ghodegaon dist Ahmednagar getting their MSEB bills after the due date. Because of that we have to pay penulty. If we ask to ditributor of the bills about this he always tell us that 'what can I do ? Its your problem. Go to office and do complaintin written.' and when go to the office most of the times the concerned persons are not available there. The people in the office are never co-operate to us.
I think that MSEB intentionally disrtibuting our light bills late. Because of this MSEB is earning Lakhs of rupees every month using this trick.
What can I do? Please help to ghodegaon peaples. Thanks...
