                  I had paid for a 1 year subscription of the newspaper in October. & was supposed to get the paper from 1st November 2015. But it's been almost 3 months and I am yet to get the paper till date.. I have repeatedly tried to contact the company help desk, but all I got was some fake assurance from their part.
                  The company wants us to believe that the fault is not on their part, but it's of the local distributing agent.
                  But that sounds extremely vague and since I during payment approached the company directly without approaching any 3rd party, so I think that the company cannot deny their responsibility now.
                  I am thoroughly disappointed with the unprofessional attitude and don't want to continue with the subscription, I want the refund of the payment made along with the adequate compensation for blocking our money unethically for so long.

                            I, Niranjhana Nayar, a resident of Flat 302, Block C, MS Ramiah Silicon Fields Apartment, Brookefield, Bengaluru, subscribed for the Newspaper THE HINDU on May 31, 2015 by online transaction having Billdesk Bank Reference ID : DHMP[protected], assigned a subscriber ID : [protected], Hindu Reference ID : W20150531ESUB0103, Amount [INR] : 748. I have not received the newspaper on even one day. I have made numerous calls to the customer care, and written numerous emails to The Hindu. When I asked for a refund, the only response I have received is "We will take the matter up with higher authorities". On top of this, I received a phone call last week checking if I wanted to renew my subscription. This is atrocious treatment of loyal readers by a leading newspaper. Kindly ensure that proper action is taken. I should receive either The Hindu for the next six months or a full refund.

                              I Gaurav Anand mobile no. [protected] took HINDU subscription from JULY 2015 by giving the cheque no. 000426, IDBI BANK(PIUSH KUMAR) . The newspaper got delivered at my old address : #72, 2nd main, 2nd Cross, Kumaraswamy Layout, Bangalore-560078 correctly by the vendor mobile no. [protected] till October. But after changing the address to : Flat no. 201, 2nd Floor, Navaneetha Residency, 3rd Main, Samrudhhi Layout, Near Kumaraswamy Layout, Opposite to Iskon, Bangalore -560078 the same vendor is making false promise to deliver the newspaper from past one month, but still he is not started delivering. Now he is not giving any detail or not picking up my calls also. Kindly do the needful and change my newspaper delivery to the new address by some good vendor.

                                I, S. Balasubramanian, a resident of Old# 23/37, New # 62A, Sannidhi Road, N. R. Colony, Basavangudi, Bengaluru, subscribed for the Newspaper THE HINDU from October, 2015 by cheque Number 000040 dt. 03.10.2015 drawn on Bank of India favouring M/s Kasthuri & Sons (Pvt) Ltd, and I was receiving the paper without fail till 28.11.2015. From 29.11.2015 the paper was not supplied to me and I have till date spent Rs. 51.00 for buying the paper from stalls. Made a complaint to The Hindu through queries about subscription related queries and till date no response received from them though 6 days have passed. It id also evident that the distributor has sold the paper elsewhere. Proper action may kindly be taken for justice to me.

                                  I am feeling very bad to report the kind of fraud happening under such a big name. They are taking advance money for full year subscription in the name of offer and then do not give newspaper to the consumer. I am chasing them for past 20 days. I have only received two copies till date after regular follow up and messaging. Now they have even stopped responding to my SMS. Why such a big newspaper company like The Hindu has to adopt such a immoral and shameful practice of collecting money ? Even I am not sure the The Hindu Management knows about it. The pity part is in my area this paper is getting distributed but I am not getting a copy. I really do not know the reason. Registered Mobile No: [protected]

                                      I have paid for an annual subscription for the Hindu Bangalore Edition on 5/11/2015 and the amount was deducted on 16/11/2015. It was said that I will receive the newspaper on 16th. I waited for couple of days and made a complaint. I didnt receive any update and then I again made a complaint on 1/12/2015. I called the customer care on 2/12/2015 and they told me I will receive it today but it is the same. Now when I call the customer care no one is taking the call. It is pathetic that you take our money and don't respond. If you are not capable of addressing my complaint please reimburse my amount back. Mobile Number: [protected] Order Number: 90522

                                        I am from Bangalore & I've subscribed THE HINDU through their promotional offer for the period of 1 Year which suppose to start from Feb 2015, but I started getting the paper only from May 2015 after regular follow-up with them.

My order No is TLHP35035 dt 25/01/2015. I never seen such a worst customer service so far. Don't operate such a schemes and fool your customers. Frustrated customer, Murali [protected]
