I am a subscriber of Times of India for the last 40 years. Whichever state I went to I always prefered Times of India. But as the years are passing by you are adopting cheap ways of selling your paper. I feel ashamed to ask my children to read your newspaper. The reason is the cheap and vulgur bikini (almost nude) photos published by you in your supplements (hyderabad times).
I think I may have to stop my subscription for your newspaper and switch over to some other paper who publish news considering that even children read their paper.
Try to maintain your standard by stopping such cheap stuff.

Times Of India has degraded itself. It is openly promoting itself as a 'soft porn journalism paper'. The Government should do something about it. I also noticed that India Today and Rediff are following Times Of India and they are also posting nude women pictures in their online version. Government should pass strict laws on these print media.

        Hi,
        This complain is regarding the Bangalore mirror delivery, which is supposed to come along with TOI bangalore edition free of cost. Whereas the newspaper dealer/ vendor (of our area) is charging extra money per month for Bangalore mirror, if we are opposing he is not giving the paper. And the problem is not other vendor is allowed to enter into the premises. This is very sad!!!
        I complained several times but no action so far.
        Here are the details:

          I subscribed to the annual package of Times Of India newspaper (on July 10, 2010... my cell no. is [protected]), but do not get my paper delivered regularly . The vendor either does not deliver the paper at all or does not deliver the supplements along with. I do not get the Saturday issue of Crest or the Sunday issue of Speaking Tree.Today I was lucky to receive the paper but the Chennai Times was missing. I have repeatedly called the help desk number[protected] but no one ever picks up the phone or else it is always engaged . Once I was lucky and the phone was answered by one Mr. Raja who promised to sort out this problem... but obviously he had better things to do , because the problem remains as it was. Is this a new ploy by this newspaper to make money by giving out annual subscription to unsuspecting readers and then selling their share of the newspaper to others. I would request some one to do something about this scam and the public to be suitably aware of these dubious methods employed by this National Daily. The vendor, of course either doesn't take calls or else when he does, is hampered by the fact that he doesn't understand English, so its now proved useless calling him any more or even trying to talk with his delivery boy who too does not understand English. We have lost out on the money we paid and what bothers me more is that in our previous stations (Mumbai, Bangalore etc.) one had taken an annual subscription to other newspapers and not faced a days problem. Is anyone listening?????

          I am an annual subscriber of The Crest Edition, Times of India and my Order No. is CREST 00036 dated 25.12.2010. In my area (Koyambedu) we receive the The Crest Edition on Mondays. Two weeks in July I did not get the paper till Wednesday and I contacted one Mr. Amudhan who is said to be in-charge in this part and he connected me to one Mr. Yogesh who is looking after Koyambedu and he promised to deliver the paper but nothing happened. Same delay and promise and one week I did not get the paper at all! I wonder whether there is any proper mechanism to ensure prompt delivery of the paper. It looks as though your people are not interested in redressing the grievance of the subscribers. I am extremely disappointed with your service. I am given the run around and being forced to call every week for my issue which I think is unacceptable considering the fact that I am an annual subscriber. It is Thursday and I am yet to receive this week's edition. I want this fixed ASAP or my entire money back.
          Times claims it has maximum subscribers but looks like it does not want to retain them. THey never rectify the problem. We are still stuck with the same vendor and no improvement in service.

            I am reisdent of Regency Estate, Dombivli. I take Times of India as well as Maharashtra Times from Manish Newspaper Agency. As mentioned in the Times of India, i should be charged Rs4.50 for both the newspaper together, however the agency charges me seperate 4.50 for TOI and 2.50 for Maharashtra Times. The reason quoted for the same is that the scheme benefit is not even passed to the agency as they also have to pay for both the newspapers.

            Either the agency is making fool o[censored]s or the Times group itself is making fool of agency and thus consumer.

            Kindly look in to the matter

              Times of India daily — Non Delivery of the Newspaper

              Dear Sirs,
              I am a subscriber to your daily for one year having sent my subscription request through City Bank which has been forwarded to you on 9-5-08 and acknowledged by you vide letter dt. 12-5-08. The local agent, Mr.S.Kumar, Velachery started servicing the newspaper from July, 2008. He has been asking for coupons for the last three months but I could not give the same to him because I have not received any coupon from your office. As such the supply of newspaper has been stopped from 14-10-08. I have already sent to you a mail in this site on 19-10-08. After subsequent requests, the agent started supplying the paper again from today on condition that I have to obtain coupons or order number from your office as early as possible. Please expedite necessary action and oblige.

              Thanks & regards.
              Yours faithfully,

                Times of India was on a door to door drive to promote their annual subscription offer. I took it in early July, was to have commenced receiving the newspapers on 16th July, however as of now I have not received a single coppy. I have sent approx 15 emails & 30 telecalls on nearly a daily basis, but others than cheap promises I have yet to receive any newspapers. They are a shockingly poorly organised company, telephone operators are least efficient not even able to speak English.

                  dear sir

                  I hv a complaint on TIMES OF INDIA 5888 sms service.I believe it is part of TOI as informed by our mobile SP reliance.

                  the complaint is , first we will get an SMS stating that we have subscribed to cricket pack and it is 5 rupees per match day to get cricket scores SMS
                  which we are not aware of that package at all.

                  to unsubscribe the same the SMS indicates one toll free number and the number looks like a dummy dead number and will not any give response and our mobile service provider will cut 5 rupees from our pre paid account on each cricket match day.

                  this looks like a day robbery and with deep regret i will request TOI to advise the concerned to stop this buisiness, else TOI news paper
                  wll get bad name.

                  please advise TOI people to stop this buisiness or else we may have to forward this mail to RTI and also TRAI

                  if we need any service we personally SMS to 5888 to get cricket scores by pressing CRI to 58888 and there is no need for us to start subscription package so that TOI can loot common man's hard earned pennies.Please send a letter to concerned before taking subscription in nearest TOI office or agent and do not take short cuts to earn money

                  please ask TOI to reply if they have any conerns on common man

                  Even I started getting these cricket SMS update from 58888 without having subscribed and am being charged Rs 5 per day! This is ridiculous! I am trying to unsubscribe to this service through my mobile service provider - Reliance on *333 and they have assured that it will be unsubscribed within 24 hours. Will wait and update.

                  Looks like a conspiracy of two chor groups - Reliance and Indiatimes!
                  They have subscribed cricket pack on my mobile also and they deduct Rs. 5/- every day.TIMES OF INDIA 5888 sms service is fooling us all they are taking away hard earned money.I cannot belive that such a reputed name will make such a fraud and take shortcut to earn money.It is very shameful.This is very bad...
                  Don't send any SMS to 5888
                  They make database and use it in future

                    I had subscribed for 6 month scheme and paid Rs 175/- through order form cum receipt no 169781and 186281 to Mr. Satish Kumar (Vendor ID - V06643) on date[protected]. He said paper wills start from[protected] but I have not received a single copy of newspaper yet.
                    and to my surprise I do not have any contact no so that I can lodge a complaint for the same.

                    TOI is such a big newspaper, they wont get affected if few people like us will go away from subscription.
                    If somebody have any contact no for complaint,please reply.

                    our news vender charging Rs 170/ per month for times of india news paper. Frequently he is saying that the cost of this news paper has increased. It is also very difficult for us to keep a daily record of this news paper. so kindly intimate me the monthly subscription of your paper. thanks from D.chatterjee.

I don't know what talent TOI find in them but i am sure some of animals have more Etiquette then Marshal and Saurabh. they treat those candidate like a servant and misbehave with them...
                          Really TOI have to feel shame for such employees they are not deserving TOI and if TOI have right policy at least they should be eliminated ...
                          really they should learn corporate ethics...

                          I have recently shifted in our new house 6/9 SFS, Agarwal Farm, Mansarowar Jaipur. The hawker name Hanuman his mobile number [protected] is dropping Times of India since 22 July 2013. I have not met him till this date. I got number from my neighbour who is also buying TOI for their hostel. I have been observing that he is doing fraud of not giving supplementary papers on every Saturday. Perhaps he is doing with everybody in our colony. He is first hawker in my life stealing supplementary selling in the market.

                            We have asked about it to our vendor, MAHESH PHONE NO. IS ..[protected]. He told that Times of India itself is not giving the free edition. But now he is not picking up the phone also.

                            Sir,

                            We live in SMS Layout, JP nagar 5th Phase, Near AV School but no-one gets the free Bangalore mirror. Sometimes once a week after complaining many times we do get a copy. Looks like Free copies are being sold!
                            Agent says TOI does not send enough copies.

                            I request TOI to take action or stop giving such ads saying free when it cannot be delivered properly.

                            Contact Lakshminarayan (sumukha agency)

                                Us too.He hasn't given us the bill for 4 months now and delivers the papers much after 9 A.M.!!!
                                I too face a similar problem with the vendor. He is Mr. Shabbir in Bhendi Bazaar, Mumbai -400003 area. I had told him that I need time to think on the subcription. After a thought I went to him with the cheque for subcribing the TOI and Economic Times combined subscription. But refuse to start the subscription saying that I cant start it again after discontinuing. I would request the appropriate TOI manager to intervene and help me out of this bullying situation and subcribe me the paper. thanks in advance.

                                  Sir, I was having two, one year subscription,Times of india
                                  edition subscribed in February 2010 and Economic times subscribed in august 2009.
                                  But i 'm not getting a single one .
                                  I got ET for one month till september 2009 and TOI for 3months till may 2010.
                                  One mistake i did that,I didn't collected any bill for it.
                                  I did several calls but newspaper vendors are pathetic guys.They don't listen anything.They will just pass our complaint saying that we are not currently working in this area ,or just say that we will meet you tommorow at your room,but they will never come.
                                  And manytimes we used to get 3 days newspaper as a bulk ,but whats the use of those old newspaper then.

                                  I used to call these two guys Murali and Ravi.

                                  Kindly take some immediate steps for improving this pathetic newspaper delivery system.

                                    Hi,

                                    I have paid an amount of Rs. 180 for the subscription of TOI daily News Paper to one of the executive (Mr Rayees) from Times of India in Hyderabad, Mehdipatnam Area. I had paid the amount in the month of March for 6 months subscription offering and i have not received a single news paper yet from the Times of India.

                                    I tried to call paper boy (Mallesh - [protected]) who supplies news paper in area and it seems that he has changed his mobile no.

                                    I would like TOI group to urgently look into this issue and investigate why this type of wierd things are happening by their company executives who are well trusted. Mr Rayees is employed with Times of India from the past 8 years and this is not expected from him atleast.

                                    I urge you to take this matter to TOI Group and provide me an update.

                                    Thanks Regards.

                                    I have paid an amount of Rs. 180/- for half yearly contribution of paper and since 01/08/2010 the paper is not received. The paper boy says the monthly slip has not been received. This is the second time I did not get the paper. In July 2010 also i did not get the paper for 5 days and this is the second time. The Executives/responsible persons are not at all taking any sort of interst/positive response to our calls. What to do i do not know. Hope all the customers who are paying this half yearly subsciption are victims of this irresponsibel national paper. If you can not manage shut down your doors. Previously i was a subsriber of Deccan Chronicle and never felt these kind of cheating. My mobile No. [protected]

                                      Address: Mumbai City, Maharashtra

                                      Dear Sir / Madam,

                                      This is to complain against your Newspaper vendor at Saki Naka Andheri (E)

                                      For the past few years the vendor (Kanifnath) has been delivering newspaper to our complex. For the last 4 months his delivery of newspaper has become an issue. Earlier we use to get the newspaper by 0630am-0700 am and now a days its between[protected] hrs.

                                      Despite reminding him regularly to correct his timings, he has not given any sincere look into the same. We're only given the reason that he doesn't have enough people. This might be true and we did oblige for the first month but now it has become a practice.
                                      In this case our newspaper vendor is also the supplier and says that we can't move to anyone even if we tried to. He has mentioned that we can complaint to whoever we want but he'll deliver as per his timeline.

                                      I have few other questions:
                                      a) Does not TOI have any timings deadlines for its vendors.
                                      b) Is it the way your readers are to be treated.
                                      c) Is asking for timely delivery an offence.

                                      Looking forward for an early resolution to this problem. The image of a newspaper is getting tarnished by silly vendors and i'm sure you'll have a process to address the same.

                                      Regards
                                      Vijay Iyengar

                                      I agree with what Vijay has to say.
                                      Apart from this, this vendor adds charges of weekly papers like ET WEALTH and Speaking Tree citing a reason that the company has made it compulsory for him to drop these with the daily newspaper.
                                      I used to have a confrontation with him regarding the same and that is why he has stopped providing me with the ET-TOI Combo and instead he gives Mumbai Mirror-TOI Combo.
                                      Please provide me with some complaint number or email id of TOI or ET as I am assured of the case that ET Wealth is not compulsory to buy with the ET monday edition.
