Sir,
My name is pintu chakraborty and my mobile number [protected].in last week of feb 2020 i had booking times of india for one year subscription. But intentionally toi kolkata team head mr pranay roy my paid coupon directly delivery to my vendor instead of me and not only when i identified then i ask mr pranay why you do that illegal work then he misbehaving with me after several emails he is not bother any reply to me and he was threatened me that i can't do anything against his illegal work. Sir this of man is very bad any reputed company.in last five monts he was paid my coupun money transfer to vendor account without my concern. I was trust my vendor and i can't assume that my vendor and mr. Pranay roy packed up and do the this type of fraudent. I have loss my money due to this type of fraudent done by mr pranay. Sir please take necessary action against mr. Pranay roy otherwise he will fraudent to another person. I have recorded all conversation between me, mr. Roy and vendor where he threatened me and told me i can't do anything against him or vendor.. I he is don't know how to communicate client. My misy was i trust my vendor and when iask my vendor when i will received coupun he said to me after lockdown or normal situation. I believe but it was mistake that i am not verify to toi. Because i can't imagine mr roy doing this type of work with his paid client. Afterthat i instruction to vendor please delivery bengali paper and for that i was paid cash separately. Till time i have not received my advance paid coupon and paper after several reminders to mr. Pranay roy. Mr roy paid my coupun money transfer to vendor account in last five months.

Please do the necessary action so that this type of work not happenings second time to me or any other person.

Sir, for your information all conversation are recorded between Mr Roy and me. First Mr. Pranay used abusive language to me. I never thought Times of India representatives (Mr.Pranay Roy) used abusive language to any person. I think he forget he is the representative of times of India.

Now I am complaining to you after advance full payment to your company why Mr. Pranay Roy have not delivered TOI coupon to me. Why he directly delivery to vendor. Now you can understand why he does this. I have paid separately for others Bengali Paper to Vendor. Mr. Roy never asks the vendor why he did not deliver the TOI coupon to me.

Instead of punishment to vendor Mr. Roy wants to cancel my subscription. Why Mr. Roy not punish vendor for not deliver to paper and what he doing last 5 months TOI Paper.(Actually Vendor sale to paper and collect money two times for same paper)

Lastly who will authority to Mr.Pranay Roy my paid coupon directly delivery to vendor. When I said to Mr. Roy that everything is recorded and I submit to proper place and that I prove you due to your wrong decision I have face this type of situation. Now he blame me that as per vendor false declaration (after five months) vendor delivery Bengali paper instead of TOI as per my instruction.
Sir, then I ask to Mr. Roy then how can you paid to vendor against my coupon which you directly delivery to vendor. No answer received from Mr. Roy. If Vendor not delivery TOI paper to me then why Mr. Roy paid vendor last five months my paid coupon money.
That’s means Vendor collected my TOI paper sale it to other person and collected money from that person and he collected cash money from me for others Bengali paper and my paid coupon delivery to your company and collected money from your company.
Now when I caught the Mr. Roy and vendor then both is packed up and till time not delivered my coupon and paper.

Dear Sir,

Again I have received a mail from Mr.Pranay Roy Where he said to me vendor said to him as per my instruction he is deliver to my coupon to Vendor.
Sir, then I ask Mr Roy . Please give me supporting where I mentioned all these things. Without any supporting how can you delivery my coupon to vendor. Why you are not call me for verification. But sir I can Prove you that continuously provide false declaration. I can prove you that after identified by me in last week your another company representative told me that he is delivery to coupon vendor instead of me and also he admitted that he is instruction to vendor delivery to my coupon to me. And he is also admitted he is not verified with me. Sir, Mr. Roy continuously haressed me and continuously blame me without any proper supporting. He continuously mail me without proper supporting. He is directly talk to vendor and afterthat he mailed me on the basis of vendor. Sir he have no idea about without anuy proper supporting he can not blame any person.

Now he again mailed me that "Your vendor informed us that you asked him to not deliver TOI at your house as you need Bartaman against TOI subscription. You told him that if he able to deliver Bartaman then your vendor could continue the delivery otherwise you asked him to not deliver TOI.

I have already replied to you that "I can understand why you support vendor blindly. I have no declaration to vendor . Have any proof provide vendor to you where I mention in writing all these things. (But I have a proof that as per your instruction all things do vendor). Have any recording version to you where I instruct to My coupon delivery to vendor. Then why you do this type of mistake. Mr roy you forget you are a representative a reputed company. So if you have not received any supporting from client then you can not do this type of mistake. I have not any instruction or declaration to vendor delivery to Bartaman instead of TOI. Without any proof he is doing all nasty work and I don't understand why you writing in email without supporting documents.

Mr Roy don't forget without any proper supporting you can not blame any person.

But you instruction (Recorded) vendor (I think this is a big mistake done by you )not delivery to coupon and not delivery to TOI paper.

Sir, You please action against Mr.Roy otherwise he will continue doing false declaration. He is forget that he is a representative of TOI. He can not blame any other person without proper supporting.

Sir, I have loss my money so do the needful at the earliest. Till time Vendor not delivery TOI paper AND my coupon as per instruction Mr Roy.

Sir, Please ask to Mr.Roy How he paid My coupon money to vendor from your company if he not delivery TOI Paper to me.

Dear Pintu Chakraborty,

As per your instruction your vendor has collected your coupan from us on your behalf as you was unable to come to our office to collect the coupan during pandemic. Because you trust your vendor as you wrote on your mail.

Answer: I have not submit any letter to vendor to collect coupon from you. But I have a proof that without intimation you have delivered to my paid coupon to vendor.(Recorded)

Your vendor informed us that you asked him to not deliver TOI at your house as you need Bartaman against TOI subscription. You told him that if he able to deliver Bartaman then your vendor could continue the delivery otherwise you asked him to not deliver TOI.

Answer: I have not submit any letter or inform to vendor or You that I have need Bartaman against TOI.But I have a proof that as per your instruction vendor not delivered my coupun and my TOI Paper.


So you better talk to your vendor(you trust him) to start TOI supply.

Answer : I never inform or submit any declaration to the vendor stop My Paper. You instruct to vendor that don't delivery paper and my paid coupon.(Recorded)

We have substantial evidence to proof your fraudulent. We also want the same.

Answer: Mr.Roy again I told you don't blame me .

We need a letter from you and your servicing vendor to resume your subscription copy.

Answer: Again i inform you as per your instruction vendor not deliver my TOI Paper and My cousin so now your responsibility is instructed to vendor deliver to TOI PAPER AND MY COUPON.

    Address: 30 AMALTAS BUNGLOWS, BODAKDEV

    I had subscribed for TOI and Mirror for one year by paying SBI cheque of Rs.1175 dt.05.06.2019, vide Oder no. TAC05521.
    I followed up with help line no. [protected] and I was told we will check for the payment received. However, in the next call after a fortnight I told that the amount has been debited from my account. It was told we will get back to you, but no one responded.
    In the mean time I misplaced my order copy and hence we not having any reference, so could not contact TOI.
    During lockdown, I tried contacting the above no and other nos of Ahmedabad, many numbers were not responding and there was no one to handle the matter.
    Lately I could get [protected] as the customer complaint no. I called then and narrated the same story, and I was assured that the coupons shall be sent to my address. But, no coupons were received by me. So, again after about a month I called again and the same thing happened. I had to narrate the story again and after waiting till date, no action seems to have happened.
    Then, I had gone to Complaint section of TIMES OF INDIA and could see SIMILAR no of complaints. Now I am writing in this forum in hope that my issue gets resolved.

        This is with regards to my times of india subscription.

        Customer id 32330783.
        Cheque no. 613808
        Drawn on icici bank
        Amount - rs. 699/-
        Issuing month - march 2020
        Debited in - may 2020

        Because the vendor is not available and i have been given to understand by the times of india employee who handles subscription that he has left for his native place without informing about any date of return (Also he is not answering the calls) i have not been receiving the delivery since lockdown has been lifted / june 2020.

        Requesting to either change my vendor or refund my amount immediately.
        updated status awaited. By when can i expect a resolution please.

              महोदय, मैंने यहीं पर 9 August को एक शिकायत दर्ज कराई थी, नव भारत times लखनऊ ऑफिस के खिलाफ।
              परंतु आज 24 August हो गया मुझे कोई समाधान नहीं मिला।
              बल्कि मुझे ऐसा मेरे समाचार पत्र डालने वाले व्यक्ति ने बताया की कोई सूर्यप्रकाश जी हैं यहाँ जो ये सब देखते हैं, उनका कहना है की अगले offer आने पर मुझे पुनः cheque देनी होगी तभी कुछ हो पायेगा।
              इस पूरे कांड में कहीं से भी मैं जिम्मेवार नहीं हूँ परंतु मुझे ये मानसिक क्लेश झेलना पड़ रहा है।
              कृपया समाधान बताएं या करायें।
              धन्यवाद

E from november 2019. The cheque was issued in the name of bbcl by icici bank and amounted to rs. 699 and the cheque no. Was 000474 which was cleared on 2nd november, 2019. We still haven't received the monthly coupon that needs to be given to the vendor. The vendor has been asking us for the coupons so please send us a confirmation/ proof that we can give to the vendor.

                    My previous years subscription was not yet complete but then too a collection Executive came for renewal of subscription of T.O.I newspaper for 2 years.
                    Which I did also

                    But the situation is NO newspaper since APRIL 2020 till today, may be due to PANDEMIC
                    But they should give extension in subscription
                    And
                    Subscription Coupons also not received yet
                    No feedback / followup regarding extension of subscription from T. O. I side.
                    Not even my newspaper vendor is responding

                    Atleast
                    They should have done follow up from there end whether the customer is receiving the newspaper or No.

                        Customer: p. S. Ramalingam (My father)

                        I have renewed my subscription in july 2020 but my local distributor not issuing the copies for the past 4 weeks as they say that haven't received the coupons. I raised a complaint on 17 july, 2020 (Complaint no:[protected] and there is no update and whenever i call and enquire on the status the person handling the call says 'we will arrange for coupons' but there is no progress.

                        Yesterday, i called again to enquire about the status they raised a new complaint no.[protected]. Don't know why they raised a new complaint?

                        Not sure what's happening in the customer service as they knowingly cut the conversation as they didn't know what to response for the query?

                        Please could you arrange to continue the subscription by providing the coupon or direct the local delivery guy to issue the newspaper without any further delays.

                        Regards,
                        Rajinikanth

                            I wanted give one property advertisement in toi/chennai edition. For this purpose i got contact number [protected] from toi itself. Accordingly, i spoke to one mr. Adil. We have discussed, the ad. Matter, the rate and date of publication finalized. Payment also made. The ad. Was to be published on25jul in toi and property edition of chennai edition (Actually it is one only)
                            And toi and et on 26jul. But, to my utter surprise, the ad. Was not published. When i asked mr. Adil, he said due to some mistake it was not published. He also said, he will publish the same next week. Since, i had my
                            Reservation about taking refund, reluctantly i agreed. Again the advt was published only in et not in toi. When i asked him about this he said he will compensate by publishing next week. The ad. Was supposed to published under commercial premises and for that only i paid money. However, the ad. Was published under lease/rent all the four days causing lot of mental agony and the effort did not yield any desirous result. I want suitable action against mr. Adil for this grave mistake and his callous attitude towards his job and bringing disrepute to the leading news paper. If asked i can submit all the required details.

                                I had subscribed times of india for one year by making online payment of rs.549/- on 15.06.2020. Despite my repeated requests, coupons have not been issued to me. Every time i am being told that coupons are sent within 25 days after making payment. But it is going to be almost 2 months now since i made the payment. Kindly resolve my issue.

Kindly verify facts before publishing. Need immediate action against this reporter who verify it from your part & rectify it.
