    Hi,

    Could you please look into this streets located at guindy area (Near by railway stations). I have shifted my home here 3 months back. I have noticed there are frequent shutdown in this area at night time. Its coming back in morning between 9 -10 am. Why its not rectified if there is an issue in short period of time. This is not a first time its happened several time (Approx :5).

    They really need entire night to rectify the issue. Its not tolerable, why can't you rectify this quickly.

          We have a tough time getting our paid service after several personal interaction and through phone complaints the respective personnel from tneb doesn't seem to be worried about our concern as we have to go again and again calling them over the phone and all they show is lack of progress. We need our services as we find difficult again and again going back to them doing nothing.

          Thanks & regards

                We are running a printing press in tondiarpet area. We are facing the cable fault in our press very often (Monthly 5 times). When we register the complaint, they are taking 3 days to solve the issue. When we ask the a. E, he is saying there is no resource... When we ask for the permanent solution, he is not properly responding... And time are coming to the work at 11.00am in the morning... I don't think this is the working time for them. We have complained this issue to the department ad and no response from him also as they are linked into the same group. We need a permanent solution for the eb issue in future. Please take up this complaint and solve this issue asap.

                    I am veerappan servai, sc. No.[protected]Sirugavayal) melamanakkudi sub station.

                    Recent electricity charges is rs.545.00 due on 06/06/2019 for my house. It is very unreasonable and it is not normally we charged moreover we never use any additional home appliances. It may be due to the faulty meter.

                    Kindly consider our bill and waive the charges. Please replace the faulty meter.

                    Appreciate your kind consideration and prompt response on this matter.

                    Thank you

                    Yours faithfully

                      Dear sir/madam,

                      We are been in trouble for more than a month due to voltage fluctuation in our house where high high power consumption electronic items are not working. The reason behind this is our three phase connection was cut off without our knowledge and given single phase connection. Our supply given to marriage hall. We have complained to je also but it s not rectified.
                      Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] customer support has been notified about the posted complaint.

                            Dear sir/madam,

                            I, b. S. Krishnamurthy, would like to lodge a complaint regarding my faulty electric meter. I got an excess bill for the last two months. I had checked my digital electric meter reading which is not showing the exact reading. I also submitted a complain letter on 22/05/2019 to tneb, mgr nagar, opp to sivan park, kkngar branch. Yet the action was not taken. I would request to check on the same and take the neccessary action.
                            Waiting for the immediate action to be taken,
                            Thanking you
                            Krishnamurthy

                              On 27th may, the staff from tneb - salem branch visited our home to note down the reading. After we checked the eb card, we noticed that, the reading was noted faulty and it is rupees 16, 350. This is too high than our usual billing. As we are from middle-class background, we can't afford this much eb bill. Kindly consider this request and please re-do the process to know the correct bill. Please note that, we have not added any extra home appliances from last 1 year and there is 0% chance that we have received this bill.
