Address: New Delhi, Delhi, 110076

I paid rs 1193 on 23-11-19 for the toi coupons but till date (I. E.,[protected] have not received it.
Further, the contact number on the receipt [protected] is not working as well.
A gentleman md. Sajid took the cheque. Dsa code - dd adsno274.
His personal contact number is also 'out of reach'.
This clearly is sloppy work from toi and if not resolved soon we are planning to take harder actions.

Can someone please reply their working contact number.

Thanks

    Address: west guru angad nagar extension, laxmi nagar, 110092

    I am having the subscriber id [protected] of times of india for receiving the newspaper for 15 months with order reference no. Deb0005714 having coupon start date 15th august 2019. I have received newspaper for 2 months only. The newspaper has been stopped to be delivered from october-2019. I am having the coupons as an evidence of not receiving the newspapers. The newspaper delivery boy has left the town and no one is taking care of delivering the newspapers. I have contacted multiple time on the contact no. Mentioned on the subscription letter from toi but no response has been received till now.
    This is highly disappointing and frustrating that we are just demanding the services for which we have already paid an advance amount. Please help in getting the newspaper or refund of the money.

      We have not received the toi newspaper for yearly subscription. The local agent is not responding. Local agent details - saravana agencies, no: 4, anna cross street, gandhi nagar, selaiyur, chennai-73.

      The local agents are irregular and most of the times, they are not delivering the paper. And at all times, they are throwing the papers somewhere in the garden.
      Please talk to the agency and solve. If they are not ready to send toi subscription paper, please change to other nearby agency to get toi regularly.
      I have renewed my as on 17.11.2019 by issuing a chq no-000152, BOB, date-17.11.2019 and the cheque has cleared in time. Now I am receiving SMS mentioning the renewal of my subscription by mentioning sub.No-DL[protected]

            I have subscribed to toi. News paper has been very sporadic. We dont get copies most days. Our newspaper boy says he don't have enough subscription copies and misses several days. Timesof India does not have a place where I can complain about this. Our news paper dealer says, we need to directly deal with TOI.

After i made a complaint i was told that i will get a coupon by 15th january, still nothing. I am no longer willing to continue with this subscription. I want to cancel my subscription and get my refund as soon as possible.

                  I duly renewed my subscription via online for TOI news paper. Coupon also received. But due to misunderstanding between vendor and TOI office, the vendor refuses to deliver, even on my repeated requests. The vendor is nice and known to me for years but because of the lethargic attitude of the TOI officials, the genuine subscriber in me is suffering. Arrange to mediate between the two and settle the issue.

                    We have requested for address change in december. Which dint happen.. After one month of which our subscription expired and we renewed it. Still papers are not received in new address. But the agent came and delivered the subscription coupon alone. They just took the money and till date we are not getting any newspaper. Being a top newspaper, treating customers like this is not accepted. I have been calling customer care daily and issue dint get resolved yet. We either need the papers to be properly delivered or return of our money

                      We have done toi yearly subscription renewal on "20 december 2019" for this year through a person by name "satish kumar ayyawar ([protected])". The "subscribercopy orderno" is "610679". Satish informed us to show this receipt to the person "ramu (Sri raghavendra news paper agency, whitefield, kondapur - [protected])" who distributes the paper. For a week we got the paper, later from 6th january 2020 onwards paper hasn't come. When we talk to the ramu he says talk to satish we cannot deliver paper until we get mail regarding this, when i call satish 99% times he does not lift the call. Once satish took my call and when complained about paper, he asked me to send my address and he will check. I sent multiple times my address, nothing is sorted out and again he doesn't lift my call. I am really frustrated with these two guys. I wanted this matter to be taken seriously and to ensure such guys who let toi reputation go down and frustrates customers should not be taken lightly and to take serious action against them.

                          In december we had shifted house and requested for address change. But it dint happen till our subscription expired. Now we have renewed the subscription. The agent delivered the coupon alone at house but till date we dint receive newspaper. We would like to get a refund of our money atleast.
                          Being reported to customer care multiple times there was no proper response. Every time we call customer care they just create a ticket and close it.. It is so irritating to call customer care repeatedly when there is no proper response.
                          Treating customers so cheap is not acceptable.
                          We do have some self respect. Hope they treat customer decently. Being a top newspaper, illtreating customer is not acceptable.

                            I have subscribed for times of india six month subscription and made the payment upfront. Subscription was supposed to start from 6th jan 2020 and its been 20 days and there is no update from their side.

                            I called customer care of times group multiple time and they only respond that within 24hrs their team will call back but no one responded.

                            I dropped multiple email at crm. [protected]@timesgroup.com but no one acknowledges it. My complain number is 00193804 with times group

                            Times of India started the newspaper delivery from 3rd Feb 2020. vendor stopped the newspaper delivery during lockdown starting late March 2020 till second last week of May 2020. They again started the delivery post lockdown eased and stopped the delivery around 10 july stating that the coupon for 6 months are expired. So effectively I received paper for 3.5 month.

                            I called the Vendor and he told that he won't deliver the paper as coupon is expired. I called Area head (Amitpal) and he told that he will speak to Vendor. I tried multiple times to speak to him but no positive response.

                            On the top of that Vendor came to my place in June 2020 and asked for delivery charge of Rs 50 per month which was quite shocking. I handed him coupons of 6 month which he was quite reluctant to acceptas he mentiones that he do not accepts coupon.

                            This is quite unprofessional behaviour from TOi team and it looks like Vendor has monopoly in this area. So, he told me that from next time he won't accept Coupon and he will not deliver to my place if I again purchase the subscription online

                              Today jan 25 times of india contains a narrative by dr. K. S radha krishnan former psc
                              Chairman which argues that muslims are terrorists and islam true colour is puritan. That writing completely hurts me. His lack of knowledge about islam is more dangerous than terrorists. It is not good to promote such writings by news papers like times of india.
                              This news probably hurts all islamic followers in india. Because what the writer is mean is not actually quran depicts. He quotes certain portions from quran without narrating the situation under which quran depicts it.

                                  I had booked bulk booking of flight tickets with makemytrip india pvt. Ltd. For this booking there was refund of mere rs 4952 which the company owes to me. While company has been promising to refund but it's been more than 2 months but i am yet to see day light. I have brought irregularities to executive management of makemytrip india pvt ltd but they have also not been able to resolve. Can you please assist me in getting justice and avoid harrasment faced by common men of india. Let me know email i can submit all the proofs i have with me.

                                      I had subscribed online for time of india delivery at home in the month of november 2019. Subscribed for 6 months and paid online. Got a confirmation [protected]@timesgroup.com that subscription number is ts0006281a.
                                      I was also communicated that delivery of the paper will start from 2nd december 2019. Deliver never happened. Have called customer care service [protected] several times. Complained through their mail id crm. [protected]@timesgroup.com several times. My registered complain number is 00172451 which they had closed without any resolution. I got it reopened by calling them. I even spoke to their area manager for delivery several times. Still delivery has not started. Subscribed in november 2019 and this is january 2020 and no delivery has started. I am requesting for refund, that also they are not doing. I am feeling cheated by timesgroup.
