        Respected Sir, I'm M Deebesh residing in 23/10, Jaganathapuram 3rd street, Chetpet, Chennai -31. I have already submitted a complaint stating "excessive meter reading issue" EB person inspected and confirmed that meter is faulty and it should be replaced immediately. I met the EB CI who told me to remit Rs.2100 to replace my faulty meter. Please advise why i should pay for the faulty meter which is owned and managed by EB. Although my consumption readings are high due to faulty meter i have paid as per the reading for past few months but still the meter is not replaced, please intervene and help to replace the meter as early as possible. thanks regds Deebesh [protected]

                  Iam residing at pleasant apts, 45 taylors road, kilpauk, chennai 600010. Since 12noon today there is no power in one phase due to which the lift is not functioning. There are senior citizens and three cardiac patients residing on the 3rd and 4th floor and they are unable to go out of thier house since 12noon. Despite making 25 calls and visits to TNEB KELLYS branch the service person has not turned up till now - 9.30pm. Last month when there was a similar issue, the person who attended to the issue had demanded for 500/- which was refused as we are against paying bribes, hence they are unwilling to attend to the issue now.. We have been calling on [protected] - tneb helpline kellys.

                          We lost our EB card. On 25.06.14 i went to the EB office in Keelkattalai, chennai and submitted my request for new card. The AE acknowledged the request and gave the letter to another staff who asked me to come the next day. Again i went to the EB office on 26.06.14 to collect the card. A staffed named Palani demanded Rs 100 for the cards. Please take some necessary action on this staff. Beyond this, they didn't update the bill for the month of may for which I took the readings and that staff back dated the readings and made me pay the fine. Is this how they should be doing. I felt this unfair.

                          Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.
                          We are staying in Thoraipakkam. EB staffs are removing the main fuse and asking us to pay the bill.
                          But the bill was already paid online. We went to EB office near Chennai One-IT SEZ, Thoraipakkam.
                          There is no response from them. They are not behaving in a good manner and carelessly speaking.
                          We are facing the issue once in two months.
                          Please check this issue and ensure that this issue will not be repeated in future with other consumers.

                            Sir, My current EB bill amount is higher side. Our assumption is either meter is fault or reading is fault. Current EB reading is 2073 unit for by month. Every bimonthly average reading is below 500 units. But one by month is jump 2073 unit.. Is it possible? :Please check the meter or change the meter box.

                                  Hi, We used to have an average consumption of 500-600 units per billing cycle (two months). However last cycle we found the consumption had increased to 2700 units. We suspect there is some fault in the meter as we did not install any electrical gadget in past 6 months. When we raised the issue to EB department (Periyar Nagar EB dept) they are not willing to buy us and just said our consumption would have gone high. I wonder how in the world will consumption increase to 5 times in a month. I would like to know the means by which this issue can be sorted out. I dont want to pay the bill otherwise later we may have to run pillar to post for refund. Someone please help. Thanks, Sundar G.K.M Colony, Jawahar Nagar Post, Chennai-82. [protected].

                                    Dear Sir, I am residing at Plot No.9, Door No 15A, Balaji Avenue, Alapakkam, Chennai - 600116. Severe shock is being observed in the cable which is coming through light post to the Meter box. Also low voltage problem is continuing for more than 5 years and the problem is yet to be solved. Because of low voltage issue, fan, light and refrigerator are getting repaired and we are unable to survive and run our day to day life. Also pump motor is not running and we could not pump the water from the well because of the above issue. Kindly take necessary action to solve this issue immediately.
