Tata Sky Complaints & Reviews

I own a TATA SKY connection with consumer id number [protected] registered in my own name.
I ahd made an online recharge for Rs 600/ on 26 Dec 2009 through the web portal of TATA SKY through net banking in ICICI account[protected] which is also in my name.
The message of a successful transaction was displayed with transaction number from ICICI Bank as MICI [protected].
The amount was debited from my account even.
However, the same has not been reflected by TATA SKY till date and i have had to call and waste about Rs[protected] on their helpline numbers which are half the time playing recorded voices.
ICICI has washed its hands off saying that the transaction is successful.
However TATA SKY also does not accept the transaction.
I ahve made numerous calls and also mailed to both agenciews to solve this issue, however, both are blaming each other.
I intend taking legal action and sue both for the harrassment.
Kindly advise.

My Customer Id is [protected].
In my area recharge coupon availability is almost nil. You have recently discontinued the coupon card. I do not use credit card. Please inform me how I could recharge the rental. Also, please do not disconnect my line. I shall recharge at the earliest of its availability.
Sincerely Yours,
Pulak Dasgupta.

Hi ,

I recently renewed my Tata Sky connection which had an offer of a polo watch for 499 / - which says the worth of the actual watch is 3500 /- . This is a pathetic offer and a low standard business model by Tata's which i am surprised , i think the Tata Sky management is highly non professional .

This watch is not even worth 300/- Rs and when it reached me it was without any invoice and was non functional , after several mails to [protected]@tatasky.com , there is no one who responds back . Tata customer support has no clue to this Polo watch vendor , this product is no where worth to be even displayed and used

Shame on Tata Sky and Deal4all for this bad business acumen and not responding to the customers .

TATA SKY Fraud in the name of Non-Standard Installation-Cheap Tactics-Unfair Trade Practice

Subscriber ID: [protected]



Keep on checking your statements, TATA SKY used to Cheat by charging unnecessarily from your account. ---UNFAIR TRADE PRACTICE.



On Dec 26, 2009:

1. Paid Rs 1500-00 for Second Connection in Previous I.D. i.e. Rs 125*12=1500 125*12= 1500-00

2. Paid Rs 450-00 for Add on Life Style Gold Pack 450-00

3. Paid Rs 3025 for the annual Subscription for Super Saver pack 3025-00

4. Paid Rs 1599 for the purchase of New Digicomp (Set top box) 1599-00

Total Rs 6574-00

The installation had been made on 30th Dec 2009



Kindly look in to the following factor:
Current Balance as on Friday, January 01, 2010 is Rs 1,383=56

Due Date is 03/12/2010

1. About two days back the balance was Rs 1500/- and due date was of June 2011

2. In one day it comes down near about Rs 5/- and due date remains the same of June 2011.

3. On 1st Jan 2010 when I checked my balance it is 1383.56 and on TV Screen of TATA SKY it has been mentioned that Rs 100/- deducted for Unstandard installation. Though on the visit of installation to Second connection Rs 50/- had been collected by the Service Engineer and it has not been declared that it is NON-Standard installation and no approval from the customers are being taken if it is unstandard installation.

4. Tata’s name has not ethics of business. You should reconsider thrice to opt for TATA’s product.

5. Tata is a great cheater you should not blindly trust on them. They have made draconian laws of their own.

6. You have to build clean image not to defraud with the customers by adopting cheap tactics.

7. I made numerous complaints with TATA Sky that there are number of pixallations on the TV Screen. But it was not removed. According to The Tata SKY that if there is problem of pixellations then we shall get it checked. As it was a new installation and free of cost has been promised but TATA has dodged me by charging Rs 100/- for Non Standard installation and Rs 50/- in cash. Still my balance that how much I have paid is not mentioned on the Account Balance in my https://mytatasky.com/portal/auth/portal/subs/My%20Account/My%20Balance;jsession...⇄ Portal.

Yours Sincerely,

Rajneesh Madhok,

Tata Sky Customer Care

Subject: Pathetic Customer and Engineering Services of TATA SKY, THANKS FOR SPOILING THE DAY AND GOT GOOD EXPERIENCE WITH YOUR SERVICE.
I am the old customer of TATA SKY. I took add on connection with my already running connection of TATA SKY and paid all the dues for one year in advance.
1. Paid Rs 3025/- for annual subscription for Super Saver pack. The dealer has not provided any receipt to me for this.
2. Paid Rs 1500-00 for one year Subscription i.e. Rs 125*12=1500. When in all the schemes the payment made in advance is customer friendly schemes. As in Life Style Gold pack if we pay for 10 months the company gives us the credit for 12 months. That is only Rs 45/- per month scheme. As I paid for 12 months in advance the company has not given any concession to me. Now I am entitled to claim for One year interest for the payment made in advance which the company has kept in its account. But TATA’s have great reputation and so if they don’t keep the interest of customers in mind then I am sure the company will lose its customers in long run.
3. I got call from TATA SKY from its Service Centre No. [protected] that tomorrow the Service Engineer will come to your place to install the ADD –ON connection with Parental connection I kept on waiting for the arrival of the Engineer but no one reported.
4. I got call from Tata Sky Bangalore office from [protected] and I told to the Madam on the line about my grievances that I am unable to register in TATA SKY and provided the details of my account. As I had previously maintaining my VSNL connection so my E-mail i.d. was [protected]@vsnl.net but from the last about one year I have opted the BSNL broadband connection so obviously me E-mail i.d. maintained with VSNL will also be inactivated. I narrated this grievances and told to the concerned Madam to make changes in my Biodata furnished with the new E-mail i.d. She made the changes as per her reply. But when today I tried to get the registration I could not do so. A great mockery of Customer Care. IT TAKE YEARS TO UPDATE THE RECORDS. The Woman who called me was asking when the Engineer will come to install the new connection? She needs updating from me and there is no body to confirm about the date and time of installation.
5. I we keep on making complaints it seems that it fall on deaf ears. If TATA SKY has no provision to install the connection then also there is nothing to worry, kindly remove all the services provided with equipment and I shall willingly opt for the local Cable connection those can come to attend the complaint at a phone call even.
6. If the Engineer has no time to visit then why he had committed to come tomorrow. Secondly there is not time when he will come. Thirdly there is Power-cuts and due to power-cuts it will not be possible to check the efficiency of the connection. So, keep in mind about the power running aspect.
7. Keep in consideration the signal problem. Last time when I had installed the Dish there was very low signal and there were too much pixels on the screen.
8. Tata Sky has no Engineer employed on permanent basis. They people pick daily wages persons those are not professional, and have no basic manners to talk and communicate even.
9. Is there any solution with TATA SKY to my problems?
10. Should I shift to Cable or to Airtel those have atleast good customer Care.
11. Yesterday I kept on dialing to the Cusomer Care number 0172- the Chandigarh landline number and got a wonderful experience that your call in on wait, keep patience and don’t get frustrated as I got hold of 7 minutes to get connected, waited for 25 minutes of STD call for being directed from one man to another, keep on dialing one person then to another then the new number will be given to you to solve the problem.
12. TATA SKY means the Customer Care is in the sky and the so called engineers are existing in heaven. To please them one have to meditate continuously for years.
13. When my brand new box which is facing the dust will be installed. I don’t know. Someone angel will come from the sky to get it installed till then meditate for his arrival.
14. Tata has not approached the customer to get his connection recharged, the facilities to recharge is available 25 Kms from our place. The payment made of one year in advance has no credit by TATA which is clear-cut violation of Advances received by the company under RBI guidelines. As the company has received payment for the preceding one without give any benefit to the customer.

SUB: DEFICIENCY IN SERVICE.
Customer I.D. No. [protected]
Sir,
This is with reference to a call made to me from landline number[protected] from Tata Sky at my Mobile Number[protected]. The concerned official intimated me that a new Dish of TATA SKY has to be installed at your house. I said yes then he said the Service Engineer will come tomorrow to install the dish and disconnected the phone. Then I made call to this number from my landline number[protected] and intimated him that I am the old customer of TATA SKY and the connection is ADD-ON connection. He argued that the information provided to me from the dealer is that it is new connection. Then I said Sir, it is ADD-ON Connection and the payment I have made for one year subscription for the ADD-ON connection. He said in my record it is new connection. I was helpless that how he can be convinced. Then I requested him to provide me Customer Care number. Then I made call to the cusotmer Care at Chandigarh's landline number and enquired about my Account balance. The account balance provided to me by the Executive was another cumbersome story. He had the knowledge that the amount of Rs 3025 and Rs 450 for Life style Gold Pack = Rs 3475 had been credited in my account. But on my query that TATA SKY
Screen is showing the balance of Rs 1500/-. He had no clarification to it. Then I said I had paid Rs 1500 for the second ADD-ON connection. He was not having the knowledge that for what purpose Rs 1500 is being credited. I said Rs 1500 had been paid for One year subscription for ADD-ON Connection to my previous I.D. He said i shall confirm about it what is it. There is no written reply by TATA SKY and the intimation they only provide that your balance is Rs 1500/- What a cumbersome and dodzing story of TATA SKY.
Yours truly,
Rajneesh Madhok,

1. DEFFICIENCY IN SERVICE
2. Paid for One year Subscription under ADD On PACK company credit for 6 months packs. Is there any body to hear the pleadings of the customer.
Customer I.D. No. [protected]
Sir/Madam,
I am the old customer to Tata Sky. I paid this much amount and the charges to be adjusted is as under. Either Tata Sky executives don't care about the requests of the customer or are so careless that they don't have time to go through the requests of customers.
1. I paid Rs. 1599-00 for the purchase of new Digicam (Set top box)= 1599-00
2. I paid Rs 3025-00 for the annual subscription for Super Saver pack= 3025-00
3. I paid Rs 1500-00 for ADD ON PACK i.e. Rs 125*12=1500 = 1500-00 (The charges paid of annual pack but Tata Sky sent message for the subscription of 6 months. THIS IS ADD-ON CONNECTION NOT A NEW CONNECTION SO THE CHARGES ARE OF ONE YEAR.
4. .I paid Rs. 450-00 for Subscription for Life style Gold pack = 450-00
5. Total Rs 6574-00
6. .I got message from Tata Sky on 26 Dec 2009 at 20:43 PM. The contents are that TATA SKY package request completed and current account balance is Rs 1500-00, Due date[protected]. Sir, Either I am very weak in maths or you are so intelligent that the charges of 125*12=1500/- will turn out to be the charges for 6 months.
7. I feel it is not a good start from TATA SKY. As I have opted the ADD-ONconnection today and the same day they are playing gimmicks with me.
8. I got really a pathetic reply by the dealer Happy Stelite, Jalandhar. After receiving the payment he said now you may go and the connection will be installed and your money will be credited in your account. No receipt of the amount paid provided to me.
9. On getting back from Jalandhar after covering 25 Kms the intimation got is really awful.
10. Second messsage I got that Recd Rs 4875/- Your account balance is Rs 4975/-. Power on your digicomp. If you do not get your channels in the next 30 mins, sms HR to 56633 from your RMN. Sender Tata Sky Sent 26-Dec-2009 20:41.
11. When I have paid charges for one year subscription for both in my old connection and new Add on connection then how the six months subscription had been curtailed by TATA SKY.
12. When the TAta Sky Digicomp will be installed, don't know. The dealer after getting payment says that there is shortage of installers. Can you imagine that a company like TATA will play gimmick with their customers.
13. Today I have made payment but post sales experience is very bad. I made the call to the customer care as the dealer who had accepted the money was not providing any sort or receipt or I have not got the message of accepting payment. I dailed the customer care at [protected] and intimated to the customer care at 7:39 PM that I have paid such and such amount and get the amount credited in my account. The dealer said to the Customer Care executive that still the Add on connection is not activated so how can I give receipt of the payment received. The cusotmer Care Executive agreed to him and said that he is right. When I made payment then why not the amount be credited instantly in my account.
14. Secondly kindly help to improve the signal strength to 80+. From the last few months we are getting poor signal quality.
Thanking you,

Dear Executive,
My subscriber ID for tatasky is [protected]. It is in the name of my ward Mr. Pankaj Mishra. My registered phone with you is [protected]

I am sorry to re-write to you that my problem didnot reconcile. I would like to discontinue/deactivate my service and relationship with Immediate Effect from Tatasky. I also request for refund due to following reasons.
1. The Installation and service from TataSky was NOT satisfactory.
2.Your representative and service engineers who visited my home are ROWDY and Non-co-operative.

I would also like to mention that one of your service representative Mr GOVIND misbehaved who was called by Mr Sanjay who was here to attend complain to FIX NO SIGNAL. My complain remains un attended which was scheduled for 12noon today (20/12/2009).

I would wait for your quick response and indisciplinary action against Mr Govind otherwise I may opt for FIR against him for his bad-conduct and misbehaviour on-duty from TataSky to attend complain.

Regards,
Rajnikant

I have two Tata Sky Plus connections (1 in Chennai - [protected] and 1 in Hyderabad [protected]). The Chennai connection has been giving me problems since installation with colours getting distorted. Despite several complaints and visits the problem has not been sorted out. I requested them to change the Digicom box as I suspect it is faulty but this has not been done. Since I do not live in Chennai (my mother does) I am unable to follow this closely. They are now insisting that I pay charges for the visit despite the problem persisting since installation. This is absolutely unacceptable to me. Please get this sorted out at the earliest.

Hi,

Today I have topped up Rs 200 through Dealer. Is more than 2 hours gone, but neither I got the confirmation to my Mobile nor in Set Top Box. When I checked with Dealer, they told TataSky Server slow, but when I checked with TataSky Help Desk , they told that Dealer didn't have sufficient balance for customer subscription recharge.

Strange! I am stuck in between Dealer & Tata Sky Help Desk - I am not sure why recharge is too slow or whether my Rs 200 is gone!

Thanks,

Pradip K

Hi,

TataSky provides only "Star Ananda" as 24 hours news channel. There is "24 Ghonta" is is also equally popular in West Bengal - Airtel Dish Provides this bengali news channel.

Tata Sky also does not provide "Aat (8)" bengali popular channel, where as Airtel again provides it. If Tata Sky does not includes these popular bengali channel - I am planning to move to Airtel Dish TV after my annual subscription ends even before.

Thanks,

Pradip K.

Hi,

I had subsscribed Tata Sky knowing that it broadcast "CeBeeBies" Kids channel. I was in UK for most of the time since my baby was 6 months old. He brought up seeing CeBeeBies Channel in UK. Most popular programs were - "Pip In", "Brum", "Role Moso", "Story Maker", so on. But here in India Tata Sky is bluffing its Customers as they repeat only few of programs.

Can I request to pass message to Tata Sky to review the programs they broadcast through their channels?

Thanks,

Pradip K

I have never been a tata-sky customer. I have never subscribed to their services. Still i keep on receiving messages from the company (Ta-tatasky or tm-tatasky) about pending payment dues, recharging remenders, etc. On my personal mobile number. I hope this is total violation of one's privacy and results to mental harrassment.

My account # is [protected]. I had asked Tatasky to shift the connection within house. During shifting the engineer is supposed to change the cable, which he didn't on top I was charged 100 Rs extra for additional cable required.
Second incidence, after shifting I was not able to view TV properly, the signal strenght & quality was poor. After registering complaint, Engineer was sent & the fault was in Dish. According to the Engineer I was not supposed to be charged. Still I was charged Rs 350.
I think those who are not checking there statements regularly, Tatasky must be charging left right and center.

This is a unfair trade practice.
Thankyou

i am a tata sky subscriber for since the launch. my subscriber id is [protected]. recently we booked two additional tata sky + through their customer care by paying 4999 and 5999 via online transaction in their pre diwali scheme of 2009. one box is yet to be delivered after one month of paying up. one box that they have delivered is faulty/defective as per their installation engineer. we bought new connections by paying full amounts but they have listed connection in their computer as replacement for old and disconnected our old set top box. repeated request to their senior supervisor Mr. Avtar in north region customer center has not yielded any result even after one week. we also requested for refund of our money as they are neither providing the box and also the box that has been provided is not being installed. they have clearly refused to refund money saying there is no policy for refund.

request all those who are buying tata sky to be more careful as you might end up losing money with tata.

I HAVE A TATA SKY CONNECTION WITH ID NO. [protected] SINCE 2006. MY CHILDREN WERE COMPLAINING THAT FOLLOWING CHANNELS ARE NOT AVAILABLE ON OUR CONNECTION :-

DD 1 , STAR 1, STAR PLUS, STAR UTSAV, SONY, SAB, ZEE TV, SAHARA ONE,


AND FOLLOWING CHANNELS ARE WITH NON MOVING PICTURES (BLINKING BUT NO MOVEMENTS OF PICTURES) :-

HUNGAMA, POGO, TOON DISNEY, DISNEY, NICKLODEAN, ANIMAX, CN,

THE ABOVE PROBLEMS ARE SINCE BEGINING AND TODAY I TALKED TO ITS CUSTOMER
CARE FOR ALMOST TWO HOURS BY PAYING MORE THAN RS.400/= AS STD CHARGES TO
THE FOLLOWING EXECUTIVES :-

SHERRY, PROMOD KUMAR ANAY MONIKA one by one on transfer of
calls by them to their seniors. As no further senior was available and the problem could not be
resolved but they offered me a special movie as a special case.

I did not want any special stature for me and requested them to treat me as a ordinary consumer
but give me my rights and not any donations. All executives simply expressed sorry but no resolutions to my long pending 03 years old problem.

I need justice and this may be problems with many more consumers. As there is no local office or
service centre consumers have to call on STD and call transfer system consume lot of man hours and money but no solution to the problems. As these executives have no power to sort out the problem but to direct their unskilled technicians (they call it engineers) and debit consumers Rs.350/= for no fault of the consumer.

Needs an early solution.

Hi,

This is to bring to notice of that I feel cheated by the way tatasky people operate. I bought one connection for tatasky for my inlaws on 14th Ocotber 2009 as a diwali gift. I was told wihtin 48 hours it will be and running. The equipment came on 22nd after lot of follow ups. Finally it got installed on 31st Ocotber 2009. 3rd November no channles and My account went into -500 balance. I bought this package with one month subscription and free installation. Within three days services were withdrawn and was told by customer care to recharge with 500 rupess. I felt cheated and the way tatasky provides services. My inlaws already got the cable connection disconnected. Now at the age of 70+ how do they follow up with these smart people.

I have made payment through credit card and would like to have entire money refunded.

Will never advise any body tatasky.

Regards
