Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] Complaints & Reviews

My SCNO.151 Aravenu (Kotagiri). The reading taken on 27-2-14 and the reading shows as 700 units consumption for a amount of Rs.2990. But actually the reading taken on 13-12-13 the reading board shows 18890 the consumption o[censored]nit is 460 that comes as follows 18890+460=19350, but the board incorrectly shows as 19590 . It shows 240 units extra. On 12-3-14 again your staff checked the board it shows the reading as 19590, but today 15-3-14 the board shows 19690 as incorrect. In this connection the first and the second digit of the board is not functioning properly, therefore it shows excess unit. Regarding this, the metre board is not working properly.I request your good self to kindly look into the matter and do the needful at your earliest and oblige.

We had gone outstation for the whole of February and a few days in March also. So my residence at No. 2, G-3, Patel Street, Kodambakkam, Chennai-24 was locked and all electrical appliances (including fridge) had been switched off. Naturally, the electrical unit merter was not running and the EB official who came for reading consumption on[protected] had ERRONEOUSLY assumed that the meter was not working, which is NOT true. In fact, the meter reading that day was 25950 (as recorded by the official) which is 80 units more than the previous reading of 25870 taken on[protected]. I checked today and the meter is RUNNING. I find that the current consumption from[protected] to 01-3-201`4 is wrongly shown as 170 units, instead of just 80 units and so I have been excess billed for Rs. 275. Please see the attachment for proof. I have highlighted the defective entries. I have paid Rs. 275/- anyway today (on[protected] through netbanking, but I request you to rectify the excess billing and not penalise me again due to the peculiar slab system in vogue.

Dear sir, Plot 6 Thiruvalluvar street, Durga Nagar. Tambaram Sanatorium. Chennai 600047. An Iron ore Lathe/Welding industry is running illegally.

Sir, I am residing at Pallikaranai, Periyar nagar, kavimani street, as my house is located at the corner, the EB post is at the corner of my house. That post, along with adjacent 2 posts was broken at the bottom, by the persons who were cutting the coconut tree. When the street people complained about it in the EB office, they just temporarily gave a supporting post, for the post located near our compound wall. Due to many heavy vehicles passing through the road, that post got weak and the position of it is very slanting, due to that the EB wire is going inside our compound wall and touching our building, so we fear to come out of the house every time. We are not able to open the window of the room, as the EB wire touches the window. We gave complaint letter about it many times to the EB, AE, Pallikaranai. But in vain no step has been taken, kindly take immediate action before any unforeseen incident happens. Regarding this we made telephonic complaint to the EB Chairperson office also.many times sent email to eb chairman cell. everyone are deaf to this problem Kindly take immediate action, or else give the details of the person in your department whom we should contact regarding this.

My meter reading is 13588 while i received bill for 14580. I complained so many times and don't listen me to and keep sending from one place to another. It happened second time to me. First time i tried all my effort and complained everywhere, nothing was done. Finally they cut my connection and i was forced to pay unjustified bill of 13000/-. They said they will adjust this amount in next bills nothing done on that front. Now i have got another bill of 6670/- for wrong meter reading. I am not ready to pay at all though with no help from them i am afraid what i can do. Looking for some serious help on this.

For my service no. [protected]- at Kamakotti nagar -Pallikaranai. I tried to register on line for bill payments. Received a reply stating that it is already registered. When requested, that I am a NEW occupant & Do not know the earlier login/pw details, I got help, to register fresh & TNEB cancelled the earlier registration. After registration they are suppose to send a mail to me & confirm. I did not receive the mail. My mails to all concerned- as per their contact details at TANGEDCO- were returned back without receipt. Do not know what to do. I am 74 years old & cannot go door to door to find out the answer.

Respected Sir,

I have made a letter to the Assistant Engineer, Nolambur about wrong meter reading taken by Mr. Srinivasan. The Assistant Engineer
and revenue Supervisor of the Section has accepted the mistake of Mr Srinivasan, Assessor. They requested to make the payment as
Shown in the computer to avoid disconnection for not making payment by due date, and assured me for refund / adjustment of excess
amount charged by Shri Srinivasan, Assessor.


5. Sir, after a lapses of two months, neither, excess amount paid by me has been received nor adjusted with my another service
No[protected] as promised by the Assistant Engineer/Revenue Supervisor/Assessor of TNEB., Nolambur.

6. You are requested to direct the concern officer/staff to resolve the issues and look into the matter personally to refund
