    I am a tenent @ house no.5-102 (1), 8th street, annanagar, k. K. Valasai, tenkasi - 627 803, with eb no. Sc 1794.

    It was reported by the official taking reading last month (January 2018) that the meter is not working properly and the reading are not visible. So, he said that he will put an average bill value. But while checking for payment, it was noted that average was not noted but the highest rate in the past 6 months was noted.
    It is brought to your kind notice that the value of eb bill is on decreasing rate for the past 6 months and the average will never come around 7000.

    Again this is the same case during this month also. When enquired to the official taking reading, he said that he had registered last month itself and it will take long time for my turn. Till then i have to pay this amount or else i have to go to office and buy one.

    Sir, when our consumption is less, and the mistake is that the meter is not visible properly, which is not our mistake, we are paying almost double time of the consumption.

    Please do the needful to set our meter right. Also, intimate whether once the meter is replaced, can the extra amount paid by us can be calculated and replaced.

        Why the cnsumer number is rejejected as invalid. It appears to be a problem with consumer information data base or some problem with software.

                The bill was wrongly collected instead of rs.470, where rs.1010 was received for my account[protected]. I went thrice to collect my reimbursement but the staff was not returning my money & not available whenever he asked me to one & collect the money. I am physically challenged & the staff was irresponsible for his mistake & giving me pain by visiting the office without returning my money. Need to take proper action against him by finding his name & severally punished.

                  We have rented our property in pudupakkam village near kelambakkam. After the tenants has vacated the property we have crosss checked with the tneb department to cross check if there is any non payment. We got a shocking news that we need to pay 36000/- when checking online the amount was 0. If there is non payment how we can use the electricity? What's the loop hole. Pls take necessary action on this and person who have mishandled.

                  Why there is no further notice?

                          Dear all,

                          2 street light in kakithapuram, 3rd cross street s kolathur is npt working. This creates huge security risk as we hear a lot of theft and strangers walking in the area. At nights the street is completely dark.

                          This has been like this for almost a month now. I tried to call tneb but i am unable to speak with. It would be a great help for us
                          If this can be looked on a priority

                                      We are the residence from subasree nagar, mugalivakkam, chennai. We are not getting three phase current instead we get only two phase. Ter are about 50 homes affected by this, for more than 10 days. We people keep on complaining about this but the eb people do not seem to mind. The eb person in mugalivakkam office is not responsible at all. He argues like இஷ்டம் இருந்த complain பன்னு இல்லன பொய்டே இரு... Im not sure wheater he has the interest to work or not. We fed up complaining and people started to install change-over for their home. Is the tneb is for the people or for the convinence of the eb employes? Why we people should adjust with power fluctuations n install change-over and inverters? We're paying for the electricity 2 months once right?
