The Hindu Complaints & Reviews

The delivering agent demands extra payment for supply of newspaper. He did not supply paper for a month in the past two months. Even on odd days when he supplies he supplies at 10.30 pm or after that....

The Hindu — Subscribed but newspaper not being delivered.

.

Have subscribed to The Hindu with an annual subscription in advance.
The newspaper subscription was taken on 8th June 2023.
The newspaper was to be delivered from 16th June 2023.

Today the 17th June 2023, neither the sales person nor the customer service team is able to tell me when the newspaper will be delivered or when they will start the delivery.

If delivering the newspaper is so difficult...

KCET exam details has been wrongly updated in 18th May 23 Hindu Newspaper edition.

As per KCET guidelines, the Maths and Biology exams will be held on May 20, the Physics and Chemistry exams will be held on May 21.

But in your edition, the dates are interchanged and it may be misleading to students.

Could you please correct it and send notes to next edition

I recently re subscribed the monthly plan of the Hindu epaper but still after login on website it's showing no subscription. Money has been deducted from my Paytm still unable to access the epaper....

I am always having Issues with The Hindu paper Delivery eveytime time. I have raised Dozens of Complaints to The Hindu as well as Hyderabad Distributor. I think this Distributor & agents are having problem with Prepaid customers. I am not getting paper since more then 10days, when I called to The Hindu Distributor and said I am not getting paper, He said that "I will get back to you", but No Response. In present Subscription I Received Newspaper Hardly for 30days.I am requesting everyone to not to go for The Hindu Prepaid scheme as there are so many complaints against paper Delivery which they are unable rectify. I am literally feeling that I am cheated by The Hindu Management as they have taken money, but they are not Delivering Newspaper.Mangament is not having any hold on Local Distributor as well as agents. When I complain them, they will charge and i will receive paper for 5 days again i face the same issue. I never ever want to go for The Hindu Prepaid Subscription.

Respected Sir/Ma'am,

I'm writing this due to the mis-information given by THE HINDU Newspaper today.

Here are the exact details appeared in Newspaper -

The Hindu newspaper
Dated[protected]
Editor- THE HINDU BUREAU ( Srinagar)
Title - "DISCOVERY OF LITHIUM DEPOSITS IN J&K TO CUT DOWN IMPORT NEEDS"
Page.no - 10
Info - The discovery of "5.9 tonnes" of lithium deposits in Jammu and Kashmir ( 1st paragraph) and also the details under the photo provided ( The GSI has said that "5.9 tonnes" of lithium deposits have been established in Reasi district).

So, here the misprint is 5.9 tonnes.. actually it seems to be "5.9 Million tonnes".

Respected Editor,
This is essential to feed readers with authenticated and correct information, job that The Hindu does full heartdly. But today in 11feb, 2023 Delhi edition, page 10, news section, there seem a mistake regarding lithium data that has been written, 5.9 tonnes instead of 5.9million tonnes, that has been discovered in Reasi district of Jammu and Kashmir.
I am sure you look into this and correct the misprint soon.
Thank you

I had subscribed to Businessline - annual subscription - on 16 sep 2022 (reference# [protected]). I have received the paper approx one per week instead of daily.

I have been calling the customer care and also emailing customer care almost on a weekly basis asking them to cancel the subscription and refund the money. They have been stating that they will resolve it in a day or two. Nothing has been done and money is not refunded. I am shocked at the attitude of a company like Hindu not refunding a relatively small amount of money. Not sure if it is worth ruining their reputation for paltry amounts.

It is really sad to see them cheating a customer like this. They should realize there are many other papers which are equally good or even better. I for one, will never get into their annual subscription offers ever again. For that matter, no subscription whatsoever.

Subsribers, watch out, do NOT get into any annual offers. You are not guaranteed any delivery and you may never see the paper or your money again. Buyer beware.

Hello,
I recently bought the newspaper subscription by paying 3096 rs. Its been more than 3 months i am not getting newspaper delivered. Can you please find out and get back to me? I have raised complaint 2 times but there is no response. If you cannot deliver atleast refund my money
