Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

My wife Mrs. R Bhavatharani is the owner for my flat at Flat no.3B Suvarna Lok Apts, 19/34 Melony road, T.Nagar, Chennai-17. Consumer No.[protected] During the first week of May 2015, the TNEB employee noted the meter reading and informed me that the charges will be around Rs.45, 000 and more. I have objected and made a complaint to A.E in this regard. A.E has deputed some person to verify the meter and informed me that during April only, the digital meter was installed and it is functioning properly. We are only 2 people living in the flat and I, being an advocate, will be mostly outside the flat from 9am to 9pm. My wife alone is there. Though all rooms have been fitted with AC, we use only 1 AC at a time. Hence there is no possibility of consuming more than 20 units per day. I humbly request you to do the necessary verification and if possible, change the meter and provide justice to me and till the date of this action, kindly stay the collection of billed figure. The max. current consumption during May-Jun 2013 has been within 2000 units. Kindly do the needful in this regard. K Rajasekaran

    EM meter has been installed to my house in the month Dec 2014. I have received minimum bill amount amount for month of december (14/-). For the month of Feb 2015 also, no reading taken by EB. so received a bill amount of Rs.26.00. When inquired in EB office sembakkam, they told i will receive everything in the month of April. In the april month Bill the units consumed since dec 2014 have been charged and the bill amount raised to Rs. 5694.00 as per slab. If the reading was taken properly, i would have got the bill for only 1300.00+. Kindly split the bill amount bimonthly.

        Respected Madam / Sir, The meter reading is showing excess units than usual. The consumed unit shows 600 units for Feb 2015 and 920 units for May 2015. The usual reading works up to 500 units max for our residence. There is no A\C and no heavy usage but we always receive high amount to pay. Kindly look into this. Sudden shoot up of this excess charges seems to be of concern also need to check the meter because of this we always pay more.

            Respected Madam / Sir, The meter reading is showing excess units than usual. The consumed unit shows 780 units for Feb 2015 and 1420 units for May 2015. The usual reading works up to 250 units max for our residence. We have started using the Air Conditioner since February and I don't think this additional equipment would shoot up the consumed units to this extent. This has never happened in the past. Kindly look into this. Sudden shoot up of this excess charges seems to be of concern.

                      Hello I am very disappointed with your customer complaints officers. We have been going through a voltage issue for the past 2 weeks. And my neighbours at AL block 3 rd street and i have been suffering this for the past 2.5 weeks. We have been complaining since then in vain. WE lost one AC to this horrible voltage issue. We dont want to have any more damages because of lack of your response. This is a humble plea to take a quick action and provide us some releif. Thank you

                            Now a days govt staffs collecting excess and unaccounted money from the public and help them to do the illegal matters.

                            When the EB staff of Mambakkam office received the call from the village people he would have
                            inform the higher authorities or give warning the consumer.

                            But he collected pribe from the church people without (consumer) owners knowledge.
                            Is it not the EB people duty to be alert when a new building /church/shop opened to check
                            whether the proper new connection given, in whose name the connection applied?
                            EVERY MONTH A PERSON FROM EB OFFICE TAKING READING PERSONALLY. That time
                            he would have pointed out a new church has formed from where they are using current.

                            These are all the basic things. This has to be rectified immediately and staff members to be
                            educated properly.

                            It is better THE PENTECOSTAL MISSION church may go in for a seperate connection in their
                            name after registering the land in their name to avoid local preasure from the village people.
                            EB department also act very strict in this matter.

                            When the church formed is it not their duty to register the church and get a seperate wated, EB connection in their name?
                            Such a illegal matters the EB people should not co-operate.

                              Sir / madam, we are a resident of madhavaram milk colony, and to a greater frustrations the power cuts happen on a very frequent Frequent basis, there is no proper intimation for the power cuts and absolutely no response when we call to enquire on the same and if we are lucky to get to the call connected, the response from the employees are always same "maintenance work". Will there be a maintenance shut down on a day to day basis for a longer hours ? And isn't the duty TNEB to inform us prior. Kindly sort out these issue. Many houses are forced to get a power inverter which unfortunately can't be recharged to full capacity due to the frequent untimely power cuts. Kindly sort out the issues ASAP. And kindly ask your employees to respond to the calls .

                                  Hi, I just registered a plot on 5th feb 2015. In registration, we didn't have any Electric Meter Box in my plot. But when we saw our plot, there was someone else meter in our plot. When i reached out to tirupadiripuliyur (CUDDALORE) electric board office, there are refusing to do so just because of some useless reason. I just need that Meter box to remove from my plot.
