Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] Complaints & Reviews

Tneb workmen did junction box raising work today. After they went mcb tripped in my house having 2 floor connections. When we investigated with our else tricia he said high voltage (Line coming) in the neuter inline. Registered complaint to local and at call centre. Four hours no one has come. My 78 year old mother bed ridden and dependent on power for air bed is my main worry. Shoddy work by workmen. What do they care?
Don't they know difference between neuter and power wires? Sad.

Sir,

This is to highlight there are few cases of excess billing or consumption found in our apartment complex, there were few residents complained for excess billing to tneb last billing cycle and it was confirmed that it was correct. Current month the consumption was 860 units compared to last billing cycle of 500 units. I checked the meter recently and found on normal day it was 7 units per day. Even you consider for a day average of 10 units it should not cross 600 units. Moreover couple of elderly people not at our place for a month of this current cycle hence tv and other appliances were not used. Considering the fact we are little surprised and skeptical on the consumption which was reflected in the bill and in the meter. Kindly advise so that we can pay the amount. Due date is 15th october

Very frequent power cuts daily at odd hours & further up to 10 power cuts in a span of couple of hours. Phone nbrs to the concerned office at perungalathur east is always engaged ranging from 15mins to an hour plus continously.
Very careless attitude on the phones if and when reached. Such frequent power cuts has already caused an electronic commodity to breakdown the same day.

Respected sir

There was a fault in the cable after the government did some repair in the road. We paid rs.2000 for the replacement of the cable and they put the temporary cable, they told that they would come the next day to fix the permanent cable. But they didn't come, now they aren't responding, they are asking for more bribe else threatening to cut the electricity.

Hi,
I'm living in arulprakasm street, ekkatuthangal, chennai.
In my area (Arulprakasam street) we're facing frequent power-cuts.
At least few hours a day you're disconnecting the supply in the day time. During the night times, you're disconnecting for hours (Minimum 2 - 3hrs). But, at the sametime, power supply is always there in the near-by streets, munusamy street etc.
Apart from this, some times, you people disconnecting single lines.
Not sure you people playing everyday on this, like a hobby. Every day we suffer a lot. Not even summer, this is the same case for during rainy & other seasons also.
If i called, your people not attending the calls. After many trials, they come and they says its corrected. But after few days again the same story.
When are you going to solve people's grievance?

Dear sir/madam,
Last month reading is not taken in my house scno.[protected]. When i visited eb office on[protected] and informed the bill collector about reading not taken. He informed me that he would come on3-10-18 to my house for taking reading.
After i left the office he has sent message for bill payment stating consumption 300units bill amount rs 530./-
My sc readings are as follows:
16.07.[protected].09.18. -7443
21.09.18-. 7457.27.09.18-7475
01.10.18-. 7486
As per above readings actual consumption readings is 7443 and unit is183. Accordingly likely bill amount is between rs 145 to rs155.
Hence i request you to look into the matter and rectify the mistake in computer and enable me to pay the right amount between rs 145 to rs155 before the pay date.
Thanking you.

A rat has been caught on eb pillar and burnt for past two days and formed a stingy smell and now became a life threatening one. No persons can stay inside the place next to the junction and workers are prone to serious fever. Inspite of continues complaints to the officials of local eb no action has been taken and no proper response for calls. We going to try to take it out with own hands and officials has to answer if anything wrong happens to us and fellow people.
