Dear sir / madam,
We are running industry in sriperumbudur, we are utilizing welding current & ct meter, last 3 months back our welding meter not working and we submitted a complaint letter to our local eb office. On today 27.06.18, they came with new meter for replacement, they are demanding transport cost from kancheepuram to sriperumbudur from mrt department. We replied why we have to pay the amount, after some discussions they fixed the meter at 6.00 pm and they told to utilize the welding current to prove the sanctioned load. We are having a shift timing of 9.00 am to 5.30 pm. We are unable to prove the same at the time of 6.00 p. M
Now they are blaming us that, we will disconnect your service like that for not paying the bribe.

Consumer no; [protected]. Name:dr. Pinky lukose.
We are no defaulter, we regularly pay the bills on time. Month of may there was an excess bill of rs4228 for a house which has been vacant since january. Feb we paid rs125 and may we get this shocking amount. After registering the complaint at the eb office rangarajapuram branch, we were asked to pay the full amount with penalty amounting to rs 5800, which we paid on the 5th of june but our connection is not restored till date. We are punished for no fault of ours. Kindly do the needful at the earliest.

Dear sir, we are facing power cuts almost every day for 1 or 2 times a day for the past 3 months. When asking for eb office the response was pathetic. We are paying properly to you but in turn what we get it poor service and response which is not fair. Today morning there was a power cut by 11am and came by 12pm. Now around 10.30pm power went. Called eb for 100 more times but call was picked only 2 times and the response is it will take some more time. If the government is unable to manage this basic needs of its people better make it private like mumbai atleast we get immediate response for our query. We cant live like in stone age. Now it's almost 11.10 pm and we dont know when power will come. Pls respond to this complaint with proper solution or suggest the way forward to proceed further.

Meter no [protected], chennai. I have registered two complaints on tneb customer portal and awaiting their reply.
My house is not occupied and locked, i had been to tneb office to set the account as lockedout after which i did not receive any bills. This month, i received a bill for 3100 and was told to pay. Upon complaining to tneb office, tneb officers came to our house to check the meter and found that the meter was faulty due to which it was running even though there was no consumption. I also showed the house that is vacant and lockedout. Also confirmed to them that in their system my connection has been set as "lockedout". But they had told me to pay this bill as nothing can be done. I wanted to know why i should pay this bill when there was no consumption. I had also stored the electricity consumption card with me.

For the past two weeks there are frequent current cuts lasting for 3-4 hrs in madipakkam as on the day of complaint 23rd june. There is no response from madipakkam eb when we call their number. Please assort 1912 number again to chennai. When we call 1912 number the agent who picks up the call says that number is allotted to karroor area and not to chennai. Where should we chennaites make complaints then?

Respected sir/ madam,
Am complaining against Mr.N.Venu (assessor ) from Thiruvennainallur, Villupuram Dt, Tamil Nadu who works in TNEB as assessor. He additionally owns a business ( Idly/ Dosa batter ) for that he illegally using residential Electricity. Apart from that he owns a A/C and it's running 24/7 but paying only less than 1000 as Electricity bill by doing malpractice and looting Electricity.
Already many complaints made at local higher officials but no action taken so far.
Please look into this.
