    BOAB Audit Average Shortfall

    Dear Sir

    I am the holder of consumer number [protected] of my agricultural land near Elumalai in Madurai District. I was served a letter by the AE in the month of July 2023 stating that I need to pay an amount of Rs. 73907 on account of BOAB Audit average shortfall for the period Oct 2017 to Feb 2023. I do not understand why is that the letter is served after 6 years[protected]. Had it been sent in the same year (ie 2017) or...

        Address: 2/166-C Pugazendhi salai 4th street, Mogappair East Chennai - 600037

        Myself Saravanan J - a tenant using above eb connection number has been highly charged with higher units - month on month continuously.

        I am having only a friedge, 3 fans and 3 lights at my rented house, but eb consumption units were marked at rocket speed abnormally.

        My previous complaint reference number - 1700498 dated 14th Jun also not responded properly.

        EB reading calculated today - 31st July at 11:30 hrs, but it has been wrongly reported in eb card as reading taken on 30th Jul.

        If reading taken on 30th Jul as per process, our eb units won't exceed 508 as reported now.

        Hence, need to check on high speed faulty meter immediately and eb units needs to be revised as within 500 units, as we are not supposed to bear high cost due to the delays made by eb reading staffs

          As per the last bill, it was mentioned as door locked.but because of height of the meter installed, they are mentioning as door locked.if anyone available/shop is open they are asking us to tell the reading after putting chair.but if the shop was closed, they are doing the same.
          meter is also in normal height and there is no possibility of lower height installation due to children's may touch it and it is in the roadside too.

          2) I have noticed that the Branches from Trees are touching the live Electrical Wires and during mild rains sparks do come which is dangerous. This is putting the pedestrian life in danger.

          3) I wish to put TANGEDCO on Notice that any loss of life is the responsibility of the officers in charge.

          4) On 15th July 2023 I did bring to the attention of AEE on this Mobil number [protected]. As of now no action has taken place. Whatsapp evidences can be provided if required.

          5) On 15th June 2023 I did bring this to the attention of TNEB Whatsapp complaint number [protected]. As of now no action has taken place. Whatsapp evidences can be provided if required.

          6) On 20th June 2023 I did bring to the attention of AE on his mobile number [protected]. He refused to act saying it is not his duty. Whatsapp evidences can be provided if required.

          7) May I request you kindly look into the lack of responsibility of the staff of TNEB and why lives of the public is not given value.

          8) Some persons not know to me approached me to offer help to cut the branches on the public road but have demanded Rs 3000 to do so. I am not sure if it was sent by TNEB or they approached on there own.

          9) I am bringing to the attention of the Management of Trees in the public Roads, Park located in Ward 10, of Medavakkam.

                      Sir/Madam,

                      TNEB no: [protected]

                      I am using TNEB subscription for power connection to my home. In recent days there are frequent power cuts and unregulated voltage comes in the supply. During the 10 July midnight there is a huge surge in the power supply which caused issues in the AC stabilizers, inverter and chimney in my home to burn out. This should not be happening in the domestic lines as it may lead to fire issues or it could be fatal for human lives that happened in mid night if it's not regulated properly. I am seeking proper resolution from TNEB and has to compensate the personal loss occured due to the mistake.
                      Thanks,
                      Balasubramanian K

                          Address: pallavaram , keelkattalai chennai

                          In English:

                          I failed to pay the EB bill of Rs 2510 in May.
                          neither was my electricity connection stopped.

                          On the contrary, the electricity was cut off on 5/7/2023 (Wednesday), after crossing two months.

                          so, i went to the keelkattalai electric office so that fine could be paid up. But the employee of the electricity office insisted that I pay rs.20011 fine saying that I had done "unauthorised usage" for two months.

                          since i had a child at home and was already struggling without electricity one night, i had no choice but to pay the bill.

                          it's not my fault that the electricity worker hasn't disconnected the power connection for two months. And, without putting in late payment charges, it is not acceptable to charge 10 times that electricity was stolen.

                          I've attached all the bills here.

                          I humbly request you to kindly help me get justice.

                          In Tamil :

                          நான் EB பில் ரூபாய் 2510 மே மாதம் கட்ட தவறிவிட்டேன்.
                          என்னுடைய மின்சார தொடர்பும் தடை செய்யப்படவில்லை .

                          மாறாக, இரண்டு மதம் கடந்து, 5 / 7 /2023 ( புதன் ) அன்று மின்சாரம் துண்டிக்கப்பட்டது .

                          எனவே, fine கட்டிவிடலாம் என்று keelkattalai மின்சார அலுவலகம் சென்றேன் . ஆனால் மின்சார அலுவலக ஊழியர், நான் இரண்டு மாதம் "unauthorised usage " ( மின்சார திரட்டு) செய்ததாக சொல்லி RS.20011 fine கட்ட சொல்லி நிர்பந்த படுத்தினர்.

                          நான் வீட்டில் குழந்தை இருந்தத்தினாலும் ஏற்கனவே ஒரு நாள் இரவு மின்சாரம் இல்லாமல் சிரமம் அடைந்ததாலும் வேறு வழி இன்றி கட்டணம் செலுத்திவிட்டேன் .

                          மின்சார ஊழியர் மின் இணைப்பை இரண்டு மாதமாக துண்டிக்காமல் விட்டது என் தவறு இல்லை . மற்றும், late payment charges போடாமல், மின்சாரம் திருடியதாக 10 மடங்கு charge செய்தது ஏற்புடையது அல்ல .

                          அணைத்து bill யும் இங்கு இணைத்து உள்ளேன் .

                          தயவு கூர்ந்து எனக்கு நியாயம் கிடைக்க உதவுமாறு மிக பணிவுடன் வேண்டிக்கொள்கிறேன் .

                          account lock செய்து திருடன் என்று சொல்லி 10 மடங்கு fine போட்ட நபர்கள் பின் வருமாறு .
