Times Of India Complaints & Reviews

I have been suffering from inconsistent delivery of the daily news paper for the last 2 years.
I had complained about this last year during the annual renewal and the distribution executive confirmed that the delivery agent would be changed. He infact got the voucher with the name of the new agent but the issue continued. The paper delivery continued to be inconsistent with no action. To top it the vendor was very rude when i complained to him about this.

The next year when i renewed is when i got to know that the agent was never changed on the ground. I refused to renew so again the circle head called personally and came and took the cheque. But the old vendor kept coming for the voucher. When i complained i was told that the boss of the circle head was refusing to change the agent and that i have to live with whom they allot.
Its again 3rd day in a row with no paper (3rd time since the renewal in may'18) and all mails are only reverted false promises and no action.

I want an apology from times with financial compensation for waste of time and agony over the 2 years.

Dear sir,
With reference to the above complaint id, it is further to tell that every time when i post my comment, it comes that a verification mail has been sent, but i never receive any verification mail or any message. I am not able to understand the problem, and also not clear what is happening in my comments, are these being published or not?

I had taken yearly subscription for toi news paper. I had paid the required amount. My subscription no is [protected]. I had booked the complaint earlier also. Some body called me & ensured that i will get the coupan in a day or two. I am still waiting. Iam realy frustrated with toi. How come a company like times of india group can cheat simple civilians like this.

Dear team at toi,

I'm writing to you in reference to the article about nikki haley.
https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/business/india-business/us-firm-india-may-cu...⇄

There are several comments that are aimed against our prime minister. There are abusive messages against 'bhakts' and several are dividing the nation. I have looked up these individuals and on other articles they make anti-india comments and pro-pakistani comments. Most of these individuals do not have a location displayed.

Toi is a great newspaper however your image is getting tarnished and unknowingly you're playing a role in spreading hate within the nation (I'm not confusing this with freedom of speech).

What actions could you take in this regard? A permanent solution would be required rather than just deleting certain comments.

There has been a misleading act by toi newspaper, where times group has given an add of 2 free movie tickets with no conditions mentioned on the advertisement. Upon calling the designated people on the add, once they say no tickets and next they say shop at our place for inr 40, 000 then only tickets will be given.

This is a complete misleading and general public harassment act by times of india. I need the movie tickets that has been offered to myself being a toi reader and also an apology for this kind of act.

Else being a lawyer and youngster of this nation, i will post this complaint + article of your newspaper and the call conversation where i was shared no support to social media as well as will go to consumer court to seek justice.

Advertisement says grab your free 2 tickets at 2pm from the place and the people on the place as well as toi call center people are harassing me since this morning.

Awaiting your sincere response+

Dear sir / madam,

I have sent mail to toi support a year ago requesting for combo subscription of times of india and et. However after multiple followup over mail and phone, no response from them and was forced to take toi+mumbai mirror. Now subscription is due for renewal and once again approaced support, as usual no response.

The local newspaper distributor keep stating that toi has stopped the combo - toi+et whcih is not the case as other distributor are providing to their customers.

Appreciate quick response and action against such distributorto safe guard the interest of consumer.

I am in receipt of a call and follow up email stating that timesgroup.com/ etnow is conducting a contest "sme elite 50" on 6th july'18 at mumbai.
The email is received from one sumiit lakhutia
The contest managers are a firm whose representative is mr. Amit sen with contact details as amit sen and mobile #91 [protected]

Can you verify and confirm if this is indeed true and revert asap

Economic times annual subscription was taken by me which got delayed by toi.

Times acknowledged the error and started the paper 3 months late.

They even marked the mail stating they will compensate accordingly.

However they did not honour the extension and stopped the paper supply.

After highlighting they are just saying sorry.

Respected t. O. I. I saw your articles on 19th june timing.15.32. When commenting by super star of bhojpuri amrapali dubey. Wished me good luck for my next large hindi short film "duniyadari" but by your side written about me bhojpuri actor nd producer. Here is my web.www.rajendrasaryuproduction.com please do it correct m from bollywood not bhojiwood. Thanks. Dev

Respected authorities,
I am solicitous of reading news paper. I usually prefer toi for quenching my daily news hunger. But i have felt that there's an area of your bombay times which needs some amelioration.
With the responsibility of making your readers aware of their arena, i feel your papers are also playing a vital role in the fiels of mental, emotional and spiritual development. I am unhappy with the images of the actresses that is displayed in the industry section of bombay times.
With decent images and good articles, toi will still be better. I haven't seen any inappropriate content in any other news papers except that of yours.
I initially thought of ignoring it, but seeing the no. Of people who prefer toi, i am putting this complaint. I am a student and i expect toi to help increase my gk like any other student.
Therefore i besiege you to stop displaying useless physical stunts done by the actresses, and ask you to make your bt contents more decent.
Thanking you,
A student.

Really irritated and feedup by your very bad customer care. Please don't use Chennai's No.1 daily, your customer service and subscription team really waste not sure whether it's functioning or not.

Will it take 2 month for you people to figure out the newspaper delivery issue?

I have subscribed to times of india newspaper for quite some time now. However, it's really disheartening to inform you that despite paying for the full subscription the newspaper vendor is demanding for some service charges of rs 100 per month. The vendor mr. Hazare has stopped delivering the newspaper, for now, more than a week. I requested times of india via email however they have still not replied to my email. Very poor service from
Times of india groupu

I have placed 3 orders, on 11th, 14th and 15th of june at firstcry.com to be delivered at varanasi (My home). The payments have been made thru online transaction. The items were suppose to be delivered on 18th june and thereafter. On app the items are showed as delivered by we have not received any. Escalated at customer care but no action. Please help.

I have paid for annual subscription of toi newspaper (Order no: 354933 and 355683) which should have commenced on 02 jun 2018. Repeated enquiries with customer care say that the service has been implemented on the said date and i should check up with the concerned vendor mr siva prasad, who never responded on the given phone number. I stay at jalvayu vihar, kukatpally. I also see that one previous complaint from this locality also refers to improper service from the same vendor. The delivery boy also confirms that my address has not been added to his list so far. Toi should confirm commencement of delivery from the subscriber and not from the vendor, which leaves scope for irregularities.
Request 1. Commencement of delivery 2. Correction of starting date for annual subscription purpose
