Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] Complaints & Reviews

Hi.I am a resident of Rajakilpakkam, Chennai. i have started constructing a house and in this regard i have applied for a single phase connection on september 7. Till now i have not got meter and they are citing that there is a scarcity of meters around tamil nadu.

The officials are not in a position to let me know about the arrival of meters. When the central govt. is giving thrust on infrastructure development, TNEB is not even in a position to supply meters. How will the country grow in such a situation?

One transformer was failure for past 45 days, it is located at west street lane last, Thiruppurambiyam village, Kumbakonam Taluk, Thanjavur District, PIN 612 303. It was reported to the EB authoriteis like JE, ADE, DE in many times through many formers like in person and phone. NO RESPONSE. So many acres paddy, sugar cane spoiled with out watter. Kindly take necssary action and save the formers....

Sir,
I reside at No.16, First Cross Street, Vijayanagar, Velachery, Chennai - 600042. We are having frequent random power cuts as well as low voltage problems. i run a computer centre at the above mentioned place. as a result of the frequent power problems, my equipment including UPS goes off. inspite of repeated complaints to the Electricity board, they are not rectifying the problem. nowadays they dont even bother giving us...

I AM SARAVANAKUMAR K, FROM COIMBATORE. I PURCHASE 1.5CENT PATTA LAND (TAMIL NADU GOVT GIVEN) AND BUILD A ASPECT SHEET HOUSE WITH HOLLOW BLOCK. MY TOTAL LAND AREA ONLY (1.50 x 436 Sq.Ft = 654 Sq.Ft ONLY). I AM LIVING WITHOUT EB CONNECTION FROM DECEMBER 2008 TO TILL DATE (17/09/2009).

BUT TAMILNADU GOVERNMENT WAS ORDERED THAT WITHOUT BUILDING APPROVAL EB CANNOT GIVE NEW EB CONNECTION TO THE USER. FINE RULE.... BUT THINK BEFORE GIVEN ORDER TO EB.

BECAUSE, THEY GIVEN PATTA BOOMI TO ALL LOW CLASS PEOPLE WHO HAVE NOT ENOGH MONEY THEY ALL RECEIVED FREE VACANT LAND FROM GOVERNMENT ALL ARE LIKE 1-2 CENTS (ie. 436-900 Sq.Ft). BUT ORDER GIVEN FOR BELOW 1000 Sq.Ft NO EB CONNECTION. WHAT A WOUNDERFUL ORDER?

ONE MORE THINK.... EB CONNECTION WITHOUT BUILDING PLAN.... WHAT A ANOTHER CHECK POINT TO PEOPLE.... THEY ARE PURCHASE ONLY BELOW 1000 Sq.Ft. BUILDING PLAN AUTHORITY WANTS MINIMUM 3 Cents FOR BUILDING PLAN APPROVAL...

FIRST CLASS GOVERNMENT... I AM REALLY IRRETATE THIS ... MY FAMILY ARE LIVING IN THE DARKNESS.(IN THE SAME LIKE ME MANY MORE PEOPLES MORE THAN 20000 LIVING WITHOUT EB CONNECTION IN COIMBATORE)

WHO TAKE THE STEP IN THIS REGARD.

IF YOU KNOW PLEASE GIVE THE GUIDELINE TO ME.

I WROTE SEVERAL PETITION TO TNEB. THEY GIVE ONLY THE REASON... NOT A SOLUTION... I & MANY PEOPLES WANT SOLUTION.... WHO GIVE?????????

I am residing at manavala nager, sembakkam and i want to report power problem in this area because of VERY VERY low voltage. Here during night time the voltage drops considerably, its below 150 volts, because of this fan is running very verly slowly during night time, (i,e) after 8 pm, and AC is not at all running. One cause i could see for this power shortage is non presence of transformers anywhere in sembakkam or kamarajapuram area, i couldnt see even a single transformer, but new lines are given at increased rate. The problem is goin to worsen in future, unless somebody pushes the TNEB to install transformers

I Mr. Ravichandran had already paid the past bills for the bill month 11-2008 to 01-2009 and the same bill copy can be submitted upon your request.

it seems your dta base not yet updated with the correct records and hence it has been displayed as due and hence we have raised this.

Request you to updat the data displayt at your bill records, S.C. No.[protected]

Due to the above reason your staff denied taking the current month payements and hence we are unable to pay the bill amounts.

I request you to take the necessary actio and do the needful.

I am Vasudevan V residing at 1/36, Vellalar St., 83 Thandalam, Chennai - 602101. The electric meter in my house became faulty and when TNEB was informed, they did not replace the meter immediately. Mr.Satyanarayanan (A.E., TNEB,Pallavaram) is demanding bribe for the same.
This has become a regular problem as he is constantly harassing me for the bribe. Request your help to resolve this....

I am a resident of sithalapakkam, when i went to medavakkam to pay my bill i was forced to wait for 3 hrs to pay the bill ........bcoz eventhough there are 6 counters only two counters are funtioning.When i asked the bill collector about this they are telling to give a complaint........... one more thing is that eventhough the working hours are starting from 8.30 am the officials are coming only at 9.00 am.

the most laziest department in TN is TNEB

I reside in Mohd.Hussain Street, Royapettah and the power went off at 5 am early in the morning. Contacted the local complaint at 28480110 & 28481001, every time they are noting the number newly and there was no response.

At 10 am contacted even the AD and no use.

It is 1 pm now and I registered the complaint with headquarters call centre at 155533.

Hoping for the power to restore.

Getting annoyed why I need to pay EB bills

I have been running my computer business in Poonamallee high road, Aminjikarai, Chennai - 29 and I am facing acute power shortage and fluctuation for the past one month and I couldn't run my business properly and all my customers went down the drain. It's a pathetic situation here. Please do the needful.

Thanks & Regards,

Last month one day at midnight powercut occured. In the morning we came to know that NEUTRAL is missing and we booked a complaint to the Department through phone and also inperson too. 2 men came at 5 pm and given the line by overhead from the nearby pillar with the wire given by us. Upto date nobody has come and demanding Rs.1000 for doing the work. We called through phone many times and 4 to 5 times inperson too.

Yesterday night (17th Aug 09) at about 10.00 pm the power at the residence was out. We complained to the local EB and about 10.30 two persons ( line men )came in a van and said the cable needs to be replaced. Asked us to provide 20 meters of wire. They have also removed the fuse with the pretext that we may have return shock. They have come without any equipment and even with out a torch.

To day morning, on 18th Aug 09 the same people came and said we need to get 20 meters of wire at Rs.100 /- per meter . They would repair the connections. Otherwise, we have to wait for another 5 - to 7 days without power. They simply left the place without doing anything.

We are forced to pay the EB men to get the power . A sum of Rs.2000/- towards the wire. No arguments

We regret to mention the plight of gullible is really pathetic. We thought of bringing this to your notice and necessary action.

thanks
