        I'm residing in kovilambakkam, chennai 117, i have been paying bill as domestic bi-monthly consumer.in august month of 2018, they didn;t take readings here we asked them about that, they said we will calculate for next month and it will not affect you like that., likewise he adjust the bill to next month, so we paid rs.3364 and payment is over. But now again this month billing also exactly rs.3364, how it is possible?, we asked in office, they are not responding properly simply saying previous month adjustments. But the problem is first of all he should take readings in correct month or else he should divide it equally so that it could sense correct average. He divide the bill which is favouring for him. Our total units from june to december is 1490 units. He divide it into (740, 740, 10) instead of taking average, if divide like this means as you know i[censored]nits are more than 500 the charges will be doubled. So they used like this. We checked our meter reading and also their authority came, checked and noted readings for past two months as mentioned in reading book i attached, but the corresponding officials of tneb striked it and changing infront o[censored]s (See in picture). Request you to please take necessary action as they are charging this month also double.
        Thank you

                  Eb meter fixed at my residence and when i went to pay the bill on 20th october 2018, i was informed that the display in the meter is not working so i had to pay the average amount of the previous two months. Since it was summer time, i had paid the bill. I was also informed that the eb meter will be changed immediately by the department people.
                  When i went to pay the december 2018 eb bill, the ae informed me to pay the average amount of the previous two month as the meter is not functioning. I had paid the amount rs. 2737 and asked him when will be get the refund as i have paid excess amount as it is winter now and i have consumed less electricity. He told me that it is their policy and the amount will not be refunded. He also told that till the new meter is fixed, i had to pay the same bill (Average amount of the previous two bills which is rs. 2737).
                  As i am not using much of electricity during these months, i am been asked to pay excess amount for no mistake of mine. Eb meter was not changed even after 3 months. Last year my december month bill was rs. 740 and october 2017 bill was rs. 980. February 2018 bill was rs. 680.
                  I need help in getting back the excess amount paid or to be adjusted in my next bill. Also the meter to be fixed immediately

                        Today[protected] at 22hrs thier is a power cut. I thought thier is some problem in eb after 30 mins or one hour it will restore. But till power is not restore till early morning 3.45am. I called [protected]and given complaint regarding power cut from night 22hrs. The person who attend the call replied we will check. After 47mins power is not restored. Again vi calles the same number [protected] asked about my complaint the person told that we come at early morning after 6am, in night we won't work.

                        Again i called ae number [protected] for my complaint, he also told the same "morning we will come".

                        I didn't sleep in the whole night and contacting the eb office for power cut the peoples who are working in night shifts telling that we will see in morning.

                        Then why tamil nadu electricity board recruiting peoples for night shift. Why they are not working and taking complaint in night time and giving negilence answer.

                        Please check and take rigorous action on this.

                          As I requested for Address change request one month before in EB (Porur branch), I have directly went to the branch many times and gave request application to the workers.

                          But as of now nothing got updated and my request still not yet processed.

                          Since people requesting the help to them, It is not at all fair by doing nothing on the request.

                          Kindly do the needful.

                                  Usually on every saturday power would be off in ngo. A colony, palayamkottai, tirunelveli between 10 am to 5 pm to words maintenance. Power cut for 7 continuous hours is a treacherous punishment to consumers. Now a days life will be miserable without power. Plz advice the concerned. Failing which u may face agitation. Now everything is electrified and power cut of 7 hrs causes lot of inconvenience to consumers and it is unwarranted. This sort of cuts remind us very primitive days and conditions prevailing in certain backward states. Plz correct the draconian practice and save public.

                                    Despite several phone calls, and personal visit to the electricity board office, power has not been restored for more than 28 hours now. This has become a regular affair now, whenever there is regular work in the post, the power to our flat goes off. Even after paying money for materials to solve the regular disconnection problem, the problem still continues. Eb lineman not responsive at all, with promises to come, but does not turn up to attend. Request higher authorities to look into the matter at the earliest, as the day to day work is very much affected.

                                    At last after about 45 hours of delay, the lineman turned up today after a complaint was filed on the TNEB site too, and power connection has been restored now.
                                    Since 4th December, we have been facing huge power cuts. It's not getting restored for hours. And today (9th) December, it is worst. Don't know why are they doing this. I tried calling a number of A.E [protected]. This keeps unreachable everytime. I suppose this power cut is an unwanted one. They are not at all responsive
                                    I would like to bring to your notice about the long frequent power cuts in our area Mettu Street, velachery, Chennai - 600042. The staffs in our respective eb office doesn't pick up calls or reply for our complaints. So I request you to take necessary action as early as possible.
