Times Of India Complaints & Reviews

I live in Mantri Splendor, Geddalahalli, Hennur Main Road, Bengaluru. Sneha &Rakshith Agency, dealer of all newspapers and real estate, Muniyappa Layout, Chelikere, Kalyan Nagar, Bengaluru 560043 is the vendor who supplies to newspapers to all 256 apartments in Mantri Splendor . Delivery of daily paper is done by one Krishnappa of Sneha &rakshith agency. He delivers paper only by 7.15 am which is too late as I have to leave for work by 8. Krishnappa has a monopoly in supply to all apartments here and will not permit anyone else to supply. Dog in manger policy. Am unable to get the newspaper in the mornings. Please help resolve this issue so that I can continue to enjoy my experience with TOI. Looking forward to your positive response. Ranjana Iyer, Advocate, Bengaluru. Hand phone+91 [protected]

Hi! I have been availing times of india and economic times as an annual subscription for several past years.. Of late have changed to my new residence where i would like to avail the same subscription and my newspaper vendor says he needs a coupon for the same from your (Times of india) end.. Pls help.. The times of india representative in the area is selective in offering this scheme to new areas as a result several of my friends in our large complex are converting to hindustan times with the same newspaper vendor. Is this deliberate or due to faulty implementation i would like to know please.. As this seems to be a overlooked reason by toi and patronages and readership loyalties are effectively changing just due to faulty implementation.

Thanks and regards

Respected Editor-in-chief of TOI,
I'm not sure how much you are in control of the content of your newspaper and website, but I what's nonsense and what's not.
"An IAS topper falls in love with her fellow Muslim second ranker" is your front page news of a newspaper filled with mediocre and polarised content for people who don't care about fact-checking.
This article shows how stupid Indians are to read this crap and call it news. You had to mention how her parents were shocked when she told them about marrying him and didn't mention how his parents reacted. Any parent would've felt the same way, how are his parents any different? You made the article look like he was congratulated by his parents.
And what is 'love jihad' according to you? Muslims seducing Hindu girls to marry them and make them Muslim, why? Because Hindu girls are just that stupid. Do you even know what jihad means or what love means for that matter? Jihad means to struggle, to struggle against sins, temptations, and anything that interrupts our faith with God. Do you realise what a moron you sound like for describing an entire article about an oxymoron like 'love jihad'?
And please, the next time you are bought and paid for writing an article to please political and communal interests, at least write like you're IQ is above 100.
We are not stupid and ignorant to read your nonsense and not complain about it. So the next time you write to divide people for politics make sure you know who the heck is reading it.
Now have a nice day.

This is to inform that I have subscribed for the Times Of India News paper and made the payment though cheque(262416 - ICICI Bank) dated[protected]. According to the subscription we should get the News paper coupons in next one month after payment clearance.
But still we did not receive any coupons, we are continuously following regarding it but did not get any satisfactory response.

Request you to please look into this matter and provide the coupons ASAP so that we can receive the News paper on promised time (start the News paper from 1 December 2016).

Vodafone company should shut down
My name is heena rao from mumbai, borivali (West) am an aspiring actress and i immediately wanted my prepaid vodafone to convert it into postpaid.. On 18th nov i called customer care of vodafone regarding my postapid and they took that seriously and sent 2 males from which one is sunny who came to my resident and took ₹150 and gave receipt and 4g postpaid card and said it would take 2 days max to call and immediate next day i got a msg on whatsapp
To send my pan card id image which i did and i asked within how long would it start... They replied by evening my postpaid would start and that was the last time they called.. Later there of none response from their side all the numbers they had given wer swtiched off and today 21st nov 2016 when i got a call from another vodafone department to change my plan for postpaid i told him the whole scenario he was brijesh patel from marol department and he told that it takes only one day to activate and no charges are take for 499 red plan so i called the one who had come to my place "sunny" he gave me one females number.. Her phone was busy so i called her multiple times she din solve my problem and on top of that she is arguing and fighting wid me saying that "cant u understnd, how can u call like that and all"
Is this the justic of vodafone company??

I (vijay jawalkar) am a regular reader of Times of India news paper. I have continuously subscribed for the last 4 years. This year 2016 also, I have paid for annual subscription in Jan 2016 till dec 2016. Till 31 Oct 2016, I was getting my news paper regularly at my home delivered by the local vendor names Shivaji More. But currently I am not getting my paper since 01 Nov 2016 as local vendor is saying my name not active. I have already shared payment receipt & bank statement but to no use. Can you please look into it urgently & confirm why my name is not active.

I have paid my Annual subscription through Time of India representative Mr. Jaganathan DSC Code: CR4917 on 08/10/2016. The payment has been made through HDFC cheque 000041. Within three days I am getting call from TOI for verification of my details. After that no response from any one. The agent disconnecting my calls, no one pickups from the Times of India customer complaint cell No.[protected]-82 (four numbers). No response to my mails for four time finally they responded last week (today 8th day) promised to reply within three days. No response so far. My mail correspondence is attached herewith for reference. email id. crm.[protected]@timesgroup.com. Never expect such response from the leading news paper in India. My mobile number is [protected]

Jetairways privilege points scheme is a conning reward facility making people sign up to be a member building up points and if not used in time points are then taken away. By being a member for a number of years and building up points to allow my parents to upgrade to business class this has just not been possible every time you call the department they say no seats available to upgrade and when boarding the flight and checking for space there is always plenty of seats available. I have complained on a numbers of occasion and all they never say is we are sorry for the inconvenience and we will look into the matter and they never return with and answer. Jetairways should not be allow to advert this facility if they can not willing to fulfil customer needs. This to me is false advertising and people need to know.

Hi,
I stay in Pune and had subscribed TOI daily newspaper since April 2016 from local vendor. Vendor is charging Re 1 extra per day to deliver the paper to my flat. As per him he has to hire a boy [actually KID] to deliver papers to every doors so he is charging extra money and this has been charged across Pune from every vendor.
My society is located at main road of locality and there are more than 40 buyers alone from my building. Apart from that there are multiple buildings located in near by/ adjacent to his office so they can’t blame that they have to pay any extra expenses to deliver their services.
I wanted to know that is it correct to charge delivery charges from customers which as per my knowledge is includes in paper cost itself?
I am planning to discontinue my subscription because I think its not acceptable to me at all.
Vendor details are as mentioned below. I have the receipt copy also with me which I can share if your team takes any action and its desired for your as a reference.
Vendor details – Sai Enterprises, Near PCMC School, C/O Saraswati Petrol Pump, Pimple Saudagar, Pune - 27

Dear sir,

Subject : harassment of public by bjp dist president and
Not allowing the water pipe line in the area
Dear sir,
With due respect we wish to state that the d. j. b. sanctioned to installed a water pipe line
For our area (palam village from shiv mandir to radhey shyam mandir). this area is badly effected due to scarcity of water, because we could not be connected to any side of d. j. b. peripheral water supply line in the area. after a long fighting and requests to the delhi government and d. j. b. this pipe line was sanctioned.

On the prior verbal assurance from mr. vijay pandit b. j. p. dist. president & husband of our area councilor the work was started on 27th september, he assured us that you will not face any problem to get execute this work, but all of a sudden the husband of our councilor (mr vijay pandit bjp) came on the spot and ordered to stop the work immediately without giving any reason or cause. the work was about to reach to the other end.

The ladies who usualy take care of the household (mostly were happy), but suddenly distressed and shocked after hearing this news that a bjp office bearer has stopped the work. every body from young to old ladies and gents requested him to allow the work but in vain. any official can be depute to confirm facts from the site.

You are kindly requested to use your good offices to direct mr. vijay pandit to let the contractor resume the work.

Ps - his wife fight the election on inld (choutala) but we supported ms sunita puniya the bjp candidate in that election. mr. pandit and his wife have joined the bjp, so instead of helping the bjp supporter he is harassing us.

(then story of mr. kejriwal will be true that bjp is not allowing us to work)

But we have approached you first not to kejriwal or his mla.

You are requested to use your good offices and direct the dist. president to abstain from such cheap politics. an early and favourable action will be highly appreciated.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
