I am a resident of Nilamangai nagar, Adambakkam, Chennai. I have made several complaints through this forum about frequent powercuts in our area of late. Everyday day in and day out there is unannounced powercut several times a day lasting for hours both in the daytime and night time. When the Govt.says there is no powercut in Tamilnadu, why it is happening in our locality daily. In spite of several complaints no action has been taken till now and it is getting worse. I request the higher authorities in TNEB/TÀNGEDCO to take immediate action on the Adambakkam EB officials and put an end to this menace as it is agonizing.

    Sir, Iam from thandurai, Vigneshwar nagar, Pattabiram. For several months we are facing low voltage problem. In between i have lost my LED tv and changed the AC stabilizers, due to voltage fluctuations.
    I have attached the picture of how low the voltage is. We are receiving only 130v where the average should be atleast 180v.
    Registered lot of complaints in tneb website. But haven't received any response.
    Kindly resolve the issue, .

      Address: TNEB,Sevvapet, 602025

      I had taken a new connection during last week of april (24.04.19), consumer number is[protected] and the eb meter reading was taken at last week of june and the reading was 230 units. It was taken against the consumer number and with the help of meter digital code. At that time the eb card was available with the builder. I didnt get any online billing through the tneb website. So i approached the sevvapet eb office, but they said that reading was only 50 units. I dont know what to do. Till now 430 unit is running. If they didnt enter the actual reading i have to pay the huge amount in the next reading since it will be fall on the higher slab

            The reading of electricity was not taken by the staff. When checked on eb office for the payment of bill, they replied no due. When checked online the response was no bill due for the above stated consumer number. Fifteen days later the eb staff comes to remove the fuse carrier without prior notice stating you have bill due and forcing to pay fine... When the error of this case is on the officers and workers... How can the consumer be blamed? Tamilnadu government as usual it is not for the public service. Hail tneb

                This is in regards to tneb nolambur branch in mogappair, chennai. The supply is highly irregular for the past 2 months. Low voltage issue has always been there. Even after numerous complaints to the eb office, the problem remains. Sometimes there is blackout for 6 hours at a stretch at any time. It isn't announced earlier. The excuse is the same everyday about the transformer being repaired.

                    I wanted to get my name transferred in the electricity bill for which i went to the rs puram electricity board office. I submitted all the required documents asked. And went thrice to the office and everytime the concerned officer was not found. And then one person in the office told that the officer had asked rs 2000 for completing the fornalities and a, separate fee of rs400. And only if the officer gives the permission he can transfer the name else not. This is a clear corruption. Why m i supposed to pay bribe to such corrupted officers? Govt should take drastic step against such practices and start online applications atleast we consumers can save both our yime and money. Highly disappointing.

                          I am staying in a single bhk in royapettah for around 7 months. Power consumption would be usually 300 — 400 units only. But for the past 4 months my eb bill is displaying consumed units as 700 - 800 which is very abnormal. I am pretty sure that my consumption would not be that much. I need this to be resolved at the earliest.

                          Note: the same is informed in letter to concerned ae but no proper response was received from his end.

                            There is power cut in abinandhan nagar, nanmangalam, almost 5 days in a week, around 10 pm. There is one phase switched on after an hour which fluctuates so badly that we need to switch off the appliances. For minimum 1 hour in the night. Getting through the call center or eb is a herculean task and even if we there is no use. It has become very difficult for old people, children and office goers.

                            We request you to kindly do the needful

                              I applied for new eb connection, coimbatore south, chettipalayam, online receipt shown below 800 rs, but they asked me 3500 inr, no receipt too, india is not a democratic country, it is monorchy by corrupted govt employees, i paid but how lower middle class can. Even iam working in a govt organisation passport, only few offices like panchayat office, taluk office, eb office are ultimately in corruption, ask us to pay govt but why we want to pay foreman of eb, not democratic

                                Dear sir, i am dr. Murlidhar rajagopalan, consultant detmatologist having a clinic at 12a, arunachala apartments, m. G. Road, thiruvanmiyur. Chennai. 600041. My eb connection is[protected].
                                I would like to inform you that there is an abnormal reading, i found in the meter for the past 2-3 months. For instance, my clinic was closed for more than 10 days in april and almost 23 days in may'19.
                                The meter reading has shown 610 units which would be normal when the clinic runs for 20-25 days in a month.
                                Therefore, i request you to kindly check the meter and resolve the issue at the earliest.

                                  Sir,
                                  Upto last 24.4.2019 (Previous date of reading) the average current comsumptin was around 370 to 480 units /bimonthly. But in the meter reading taken on 20.6.2019, the consumption was 1130 units. Which is more than twice the excess of average consumption for the last 7 average readings. We could not findout where this has to be clarified. The tariff charged for this current reading is rs. 5938/- as against rs. 1000/- (Average). This gives over burden to us.

                                  We request you to kindly once again verify the meter reading and do the needful
