        Poor Service

        MTH Road Annexe was water logged 2 days back. The lane was blacked out since then. Number of times calls made to EB office, 1912 and the AE. No response. Past 15 hours not a drop of water is there. Power is not restored. AE not attending calls. AD answer was irresponsible. No planning from so called engineers. Hence this complaint. Life is miserable without basic amenities without Power.

              Dear sir,
              I am Dinesh Kumar, residing in Flat no 2A, Ashvini abinita, Kaveri salai, Kalashetra colony, Besent Nagar, Chennai 90. Consumer no : [protected].
              During the mid-month of Oct2015 they have changed electronic meter. Our last month bill (Bill dated 28th Oct 2015) is Rs. 8010/-. Present reading as shown in the EB bill is 870 units, whereas the current reading in the meter is showing only 87 units.

              In last one year our EB bill has never crossed Rs. 1500/- even during the summer season (April, May, June). We have raised the complaint through website and also have written as letter to EB office besent nagar, but no proper action was taken. Kindly look into this and solve the issue. Not affordable to pay this huge billing amount of Rs. 8010/-
              From, 25/11/2015

              Seven wells, Chennai-1

              Dear Sir,
              This is to inform you that from December 2014 to March 2015 the arrears amount of Rs: 5273/= (Five thousand two hundred and seventy three only) has been added for the Vacant portion of the EB reading No:[protected] which was under Renovation. I reported the same issue to seven wells Chennai EB office JE to which no response was provided. They insisted me to pay the above mentioned amount tallying the present month also so I have pay total amount of Rs: 8591/= (Eight thousand five hundred and ninety one only)

              Therefore Iam requesting you to refund the above paid arrears amount of Rs: 5273/=
              (Five thousand and two hundred seventy three only) thereby is reducing in my future incurring Eb bills.

              NOTE : EB CASH RECEIPT NO:AC 1986600 ( image added )
              Hoping you to solve the above issue as soon as possible.
              Thanking You!

                I stay in Mayor Basudev St, Old Washermenpet, ch-21 wherein we had power cut bcoz of cable fault on 14 Nov 2015 early morning around 7 am. After N number of calls made to TNEB few TNEB staffs came and did the work evening around 6 clock which lasted only for 2 hours and again the cable busted with heavy smoke. Now it is 10 pm on Nov 15 and we are yet to get the power. While I understand that rain interrupted their work if they had ignored their lethargic attitude this could have been easily corrected on 14th or at least 15th. However TNEB officials gave connection to few neighbours illegally and I am sure that this would have been done taking bribe. I just wanted to do my duty of complaining and it's upto officials whether to take action or not. I am eager to see the action now and the purpose of this forum.

                  TNEB Post (Old Cement Post) need to be changed since this got damaged very badly after 50+ years since it plant. We have got the EB Connection from this post and it's in very danger position, We could see only the RODS available and the Cement blocks came out of the post. If it fell down, it affects the local power distribution and cause a fire accident to the nearby house

                      Sir, Customer Service no. :[protected] I am from 29/39 Ramanuja Iyer street, Oldwashermenpet, Chennai-600021, Tamilnadu. I am facing power-cut issues since 10days. I call up EB office and request them to look after the issues and make it alright that it should not happen again. Everyday a new engineer comes and provides a very bad service where we could get electricity for that particular day and the next day, we find no current, it has happened so many times. The building is made off three face power supply and nobody in the building faces any sort of electrical issues except us. Our neighbours and the shop owners everybody has a good power supply. I want to complaint for not providing current and I expect the electricity board takes necessary actions immediately. Even now we don't have current. Please take immediate action.

                          From Monday (9-nov-2015) till now (10-nov-2015) there is no power supply in my house (13/15, Beach Street, Parangi Pettai, Cuddalore District) due to heavy rain.

                          I have raised multiple complaints through direct complaints in the Parangi Pettai EB office. but there is no response whatsoever from their side.

                          They just say complaint is received and they will take action. But no one has come to fix the issue.

                            From yesterday (9-nov-2015) till now (7.30pm 10-nov-2015) there is no power supply in my house and 4 or 5 more houses in my street (Salaiyar st, Mandaveli). I have raised multiple complaints using the customer service number 1912 and through direct complaints in the EB office yesterday but there is no response whatsoever from their side. They just say complaint is received and they will take action. But no one has come to fix the issue.

                            Its Diwali today and its been a dark Diwali for us this year. Not sure where else to raise the complaint. We have apoken to the AE also last evening and he said he will be sending someone but nobody came till now. From afternoon today, AE's number has gone switched off.

                            We are surprised to face this kind of service in Chennai, being the capital of TN. Not sure if we are living in a city or a village!

                            From helpless consumer!

                            Balaji.C
                            Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                            Thank you for notifying the TNEB customer support. But do you think they will take action? These are the same people I have been contacting for the past 2 days and there is no concrete solution/response from them and I feel notifying the same people against whom the complaint was raised is of no use.

                            These complaints should reach someone who is a higher authority or someone who will escalate this issue to the top-most representative of the TNEB.!!

                            Anyway, thank you for your efforts.

                              HI I Am residing @ Nagelkeni Pallavaram. We have Power shut down From Morning 6 0 clock, We have Contacted the Customer Care Number and Booked A Complaint on the same, they said some fault is there it wil be restored in some time. Time Now is 4:25 PM Till Now power supply has not restored, We have contacted the the Respective AE [protected], and another DE [protected] Both the Numbers are switched off from Morning. When we try reaching Customer Care 1912, they are telling no response from your EB office, they are asking me to go and have a check in EB office and tell the status of it nu. Very pathetic, disorderly People are still Working in Goverment office. Very bad. We have old peoples in my house without basic stuff like water is not there. Think about the situation, Human less creatures. They will be rewarded nicely for this behaviour.
                              You are right Sir! I can understand your situation.

                              Even we are facing the same issue from yesterday (9th Nov, 2015) - No power in our house and few more houses in our street in Mandaveli. And the situation has still not resolved. Its been 2 whole days and no person have come to restore the connection. No proper response in the customer care number 1912 or the AE (who has switched off his mobile).

Just now we got the power. Tried to reach Pammal EB office number [protected], but could not reach for more than 3 hours. And tried AE number [protected], even he/she is not picking the phone. Only able to reach customer care. But they are also saying the same. Not sure who will take action with Pammal EB department. Are we slave. Thanks Sureshkumar R.

                                    I am resident of oorapakam. Staying in two bed room apartment. My electricity consumer service number is[protected]. My electricity bill is coming to Rs16000/- above from past few months & we requested the local electricity office to look in to the issue. Even after repeated requests there is no one turn up to check the meter. In fact the bill is coming even though we were out of station for almost 20days in month. Unable to bare the charges we forced to switch off mains & living in dark. I am deeply disappointed with the kind of service they are providing & wondering for common man like me to pay Rs15000/- & above electricity bill make me sick. I don't know whom to share my frustration.
