Our EB connection Service No::[protected] have been used for past 11 dues but the maximum units consumed by the service in this duration is 510 units but current due for the month of august is showing as 1260 units which is logically impossible.Since we have only 1 A/C 3 star, 5 star fridge, water heater, LED Tv, 5 star washing machine, 6 fans, 6 lamps, inverter, mixer grinder and both us were working hence only minimum consumption of power during day time.The meter reading was logically impossible.Hence please take necessary steps to repair the meter and to provide excemption for current month bill

          We are residing at Nethaji Avenue, Balavinayagar Koil Street, Vinayagapuram, Chennai.600099. An Electrical Post standing sencond in the street from east, which is posing danger to the local residents. It is standing as of now with two to three iron rods. It may fall at any point time. Despite several representation to TNEB no attention were made so far. May be TNEB is awaiting to witness some untoward incident to take place, then only they may take up this work to replace the pole. We hope after finding this, the TNEB may take swift action to change the electrical post at war footing action.

                Sir, I am staying B4-Staff quarters, Government college of Engineering, Salem-636011. This month EB consumer unit is given as 1520 unit. Normally it comes around 200 to 600 unit. I contacted near by EB office . They told that this might be due to fault in the meter. They asked me to give a complaint. Really I am shocked to see the EB reading and bill. Also for the past three months maximum days no body has stayed at home. Only few electrical items are used by me. Kindly take immediate steps to check and replace the meter and adjust the excessive amount paid by me. P.Thamarai Associate Professor in Civil Engg B4-staff quarters GCE Salem-11.

                  My name is Varsha and my house address is #3 Pari Street Kalakshetra Colony, Besant Nagar, Chennai-90.
                  My TNEB consumer number is [protected].

                  Please take note of the following complaints and do the needful at the earliest.

                  1. I did NOT receive the bill in advance on email or on my phone. After the due date for payment passed, someone is standing outside my house saying I DINT PAY. How am I supposed to know a bill was generated without any intimation?

                  2. HOW DID YOU GENERATE THE BILL WITHOUT TAKING AN ACCURATE READING??
                  No one ever comes home to take the reading. My actual bill amount is Rs. 590 and I have consumed only 320 units between October and December (2018). But the computer generated bill amount was generated by blindly using the same reading from OCTOBER that shows 890 units of consumption and my bill was Rs. 4447/-. This is not accurate. and moreover, it includes delay penalty charges because of non intimation from TNEB.

                  We have already made several complaints, online and directly to the Engineers at Besant Nagar EB office about this but in vain. Here I am, yet again, being a victim of their unsystematic and disorganized approach. This is not the first time i am facing this issue. Last time I had to take the reading myself and go show it to EB to get a bill generated. NO one comes to take a reading and the bill amount generated is random.

                  Since my payment date has passed, I went ahead and paid the full amount. But kindly consider my complaint and reverse the excess bill amount to my system.

                  Looking forward to a proper resolve to this issue. Kindly assist.

                  Thank you.

                      Nights have been nightmare without sleep for the residents of Velachery (Baby Nagar, Tansi Nagar, Anna Nagar etc) without current. Frequent current cuts and low voltage affects the normal life. Ironically powercuts are happening every day from the day CM promised that state wont face any powercuts. Any Calls to velachery EB office is unattended and sometimes no. is always busy (I think receiver is put down). When called the TNEB helpline they are giving the same answer that there is an voltage drip and they are not ready to take complaints saying this need to addressed Velachery TNEB AE. Even after repeated calls and complaints no actions is taken. I think TNEB should be privatised like passport seva and other depts, atleast then there will be some response!?

                                A bribe of Rs 5000 was demanded at EB Office and paid with reluctance by me.
                                I agree that I should not have paid. However then the work may be poorly done or not done at all.
                                It is unfortunate.

                                      We reside in K K Nagar, 12th sector, 78th street. Electricity junction box is in front of the house. And the cable is going round the home which is kept open. Every time cable is bursting and its being repaired. Cable seems to be very old and there are lot of patches. When requested to kept inside pipe where we can afford for the pipe cost, even cable cost should be afforded by us it seems. Everything might come around at least Rs.15000. This is very risky for us since cable burst any point of time, also since its front of house not able to move vehicle in and out of house. Please check this urgently.
