Tamilnadu Electricity Board (TNEB) — Faulty meter problem reported

Address:

Chennai, Tamil Nadu

My service number is [protected] of Saligramam, Chennai-93. After the reading date of 16.12.2014, my meter became dead on 20thDec14 and i immediately reported the problem through a letter with a copy of my card as required by the EB office. Till date no body came to replace the meter and we were following with them for a minimum of 8 times.

Today, the next reading date has come and the meter reading person has noted the faulty meter and has charged me for 715 units with an amount of Rs.3549/- saying it is done on previous average. This is ridiculous. This is a period where A.C is not at all used and my average consumption for non.A.C using periods is only 440 units. My reading for the same February month last year is 510 and the previous year 2013 is 460 units.

For the mistake on EBs side of not replacing the meter immediately you are trying to penalise the consumer which is not acceptable. I request you to take up the matter and arrange for a fair settlement of the matter.
