Times Of India Complaints & Reviews

I sachin sharma, subscribed times of india on 21/06/2017 through a cheque of rs.365/- of icici bank. Soon, i started to receive the newspaper without coupons. Despite regular follow up with mr. Rana of times of india, i only got reassurances that the coupons were sent to a similar address at chandigarh whereas i stay in panchkula. The receiver of coupons was out of town for diwali. Mean while, mr. Rana enlightened us that the cheque wasn't encashed. While the bank statement shows it was encashed on 14/7/17. How ridicluous can it get? I have waited for 3 months for this matter to get solved. Do i have any other option than going to consumer court?

A newspaper agency named "anil kumar chaurasia" of sector 7, rohini, delhi-85 has been delivering toi combo to me. And every month the agency charges a fixed amount of rs. 290 whether it is a month of 30 days or 31 days or if someday like after diwali you dont get the paper. Also the agency is charging the service tax from us. Please inform me if it is mandatory (As the agency says) to charge us a fixed amount, because sometimes the total comes out to be rs. 268 or 270.
I think this is shear exploitation of the customers. My family have been reading toi for the past 15 years and this is how your agencies are treating your customers.
Kindly look into the matter as soon as possible and i hope that you will take certain steps for the same.

Also waiting for your acknowledgement w. R. T. This complaint.

Yours sincere reader

Denial of pension to regional rural bank employees

Dear sir,
Regional rural banks (Rrb) were established by government of india in 1975 as the commercial banks fail to reach the rural poor. Now, there are 56 rrbs spread over 1107 districts with 31017 branches and 86555 working staff in 28 states.
Rrbs are jointly owned by government of india, sponsored bank and the state governments in the ration of 50:35:15 and focus on rural development and participate in all welfare programmes sponsored by state and central governments. The main business of rrbs is finance to agriculture and self help group besides other commercial activities which are more or less of commercial bank activities.
National industrial tribunal constituted by supreme court had recommended for extending the pay, allowance and other benefits at par with the respective commercial banks and the same is accepted by govt of india in 1987. Since then, rrbians are receiving “equal pay for equal work and some of benefits of their respective sponsor bank except the pension at par.
Rrbians, on retirement drawing paltry amount of pension ranging from
Rs 750/ to rs 2500/ per month after putting more than 30 years of service as per the epf pension scheme, 1995.
Deliberately “pension at par” with nationalized commercial banks is denied to rrbians on retirement throwing 30, 000 retirees, out of which 3000 already left for heaven, to pathetic condition with meager pension which is hardly adequate to support their advanced age.
On denial of pension at par to retirees of rrbs, division benches of karnataka and rajasthan high courts in 2011 and 2012 respectively directed government of india to implement and extend the pension to rrb retirees at par with commercial banks. Instead of implementing high court order, goi had moved to supreme court and filed special leave petition in 2012 stating that all rrbs do not have paying capacity and placed certain conditions for implementation of pension at par in rrbs which are not acceptable to the retirees as they are in discriminatory in nature and deny most of retirees of rrbs from pension at par.
In this connection, i would like to quote what supreme court has said on earlier occasions that “pension is a human right and be treated as deferred wages and the capacity to pay should not be an impediment to pay pension”. Therefore the argument of goi to deny pension at par to retirees of rrbs on selective basis is untenable and unacceptable. The special leave petition is being dragged for years together since 2012 by goi to defer and deny pension at par to retirees knowing the fact that goi has no ground to stand in this case and bound to lose if it comes for judgment thereby aggravating the miserable’s life who are not able to meet the both ends of life with meager pension.
Either supreme court of india expediting the hearing of case and giving final judgment or goi withdrawing the special leave petition only save the lives of 27000 retirees of rrbians and also bring cheers to other staff members in service.

Dear sir/madam,

There is no bus shelter for people to stand at adayar signal (Near pazhamudhir cholai, biba shops). Its very difficult for us to get bus to t. Nagar/gunidy/velacherry from that bus stop because of no shelter. People are standing in the road and motorists are going in pathways where we stand. During rainy days, it has become very difficult for us to stand there without shelter. Motorists are very rude if we don't move away and driving in the platform. I tried writing a complaint to mtc web complaint service. It is not working. So i thought i could write here.

A bus shelter is much needed as of now and please do something about the motorists driving on the platform where we wait for the bus. I kindly request you to take action in that place and do the needful.

Your help will be much appreciated.

Thank you.

Nattu pillayar kovil street, sowcarpet..
Here we find that garbage truck didn't turn up this place from diwali.. We have raised our concerns to respective desk and shared complaints to many medias through mails, phone calls and msgs.. But non showed there interest to come back.. Finally we are here, the times of india.. We believe you will take care of our issues and post it, so that government will look after this and solve our problems... Because this place is surrounded by schools, temples, and many flats and shops.. Due to improper cleaning we are unable to pass this side and few people's are affected by fever.. Bad smell and lots of mosquitoes are placed.. We all well known dengue s most dangerous fever spreading all over the tamil nadu... Hence we requesting you to take neccesity action and make us to come out from this... I have attached few photos for your reference.. Pls look on to the pictures five baskets are filled with garbage and garbage been thrown into the road

I. Am staying in hasmathpet., manasarovar h eights.. Secunderabad... For the past 6months my wifi signal. Is not properly working... Getting irritated... Inspite of complaining so. Many times... Response is not good... If government is not providing the proper service.. Then ppl should go. For the private network.. I got one new modem.. After a day the same problem... Really fed up with bsnl..

There are a no. Of grammatical errors in your newspaper (Delhi edition). I am attaching a photo graph as a proof.

Here it is mentioned that ' a suicide note was written in malayali.' instead of malayalam. This reeks of gross ignorance on the part of the reporter as well as the editor. It is not pardonable even if it is said by a layperson in an informal setting then what to say about this one. One has to admit as an avid reader of this newspaper the standard has gone down in terms of reporting.

I have taken yearly subscription of toi, which was suppose to resume by 16th oct. However, i hv received the paper only once since i subscribed. I called vendor multiple times but it's seems he is not bothered at all. I request to extend my subscription for the days i didn't receive the paper.

Kindly look into this asap and take strict action against the vendor.

I have deposited annual subscription on[protected] vide order-cum-receipt no.14268949, rre: gautam santra, dealer: s. Sen, cheque no. 451264 and 451265 (Drawn on sbi) both dated:[protected] for rs.579 and rs.20 respectively.

Several communications to toi with the no.[protected] failed to evoke any tangible result. I have to pay the monthly paper bill to my paper vendor despite depositing the annual subscription as stated.

An early action is requested.

We are senior citizens and have taken annual membership of toi and et (5days) for 2016-17 which expired on june 2017. Vendor delayed the matter and now he is asking for cash payment and then he will renew the membership, the membership was in the name of mrs ishwer devi verma, 5 ganga apartments, alaknanda, new delhi.

Now please advise us as to how to renew membership for toi and et (5 days a
Week). We are ready to pay.

The delivery of toi has never been prompt, though in the recent past, it was fairly satisfactory; but the delivery boy is back to his own way, delivering the paper at will. The delivery is erratic in the recent past and today, even at the time of my filing this complaint at 0835 hrs, the news paper has not been delivered!
What irks me most is the fact that my neighbour who gets his supply from a different agent gets his paper, on the dot, every day, well before 0630 hrs!

This is Mohammed Azimuddin from MVP colony, Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
We have been using this paper since you started issuing it.
The problem is faced during rainy season. The agent recklessly throws the paper without even considering that it will get wet. On asking for a replacement we don't get an answer.
Even after continuous requests of giving the paper in a proper manner in dry place, he doesn't take it into consideration.

Please look into this matter and resolve it as early as possible.

The newspaper agency is Allurisimhachalam reddy, Hanumantawaka junction, visakhapatnam 530040.

I have yearly subscription with id 35643615 and oder form nde 007489. Today the vendor mr. Jeber singh ([protected]) abruptly stopped delivering the issue stating he has not received his payments!! I asked him where i am connected with your payment?? He bluntly replied i cannot do anything, you lodge a compliant with toi then only you will receive your issue!!! Now what is the remedy??

I paid rs.795 thru icici bank on 5.5.2017. Dsa code dd191. But so far i have not received coupon in spite of several telephonic complaints. Complaint no.1467951. Are you so inefficient? Please save your name and image and do immediate needful immediately. Vendor is pestering for payment and hence urgent action is requested

The resident of sahara grace were not received of gurgaon time on theses two dates as vendor calming that the same was not received from toi. The fact i would like to mentioned that the number of pages in these dates were126 and 86 respectively. We feel some mischief has been played by vendor or delivery boy. This has been taken up with toi in good faith and as regular reader.

Sir.
I am an avid reader of toi, and reading it for more than 40 years or so...
These day, we are residing in gurgaon sector 10a since jan.2015..
Very often my newspaperwala don't gives us complete set as mention in the newspaper. When asked the reason, he simply says""whatever we receive we deliver "...
According to him this mistake is from the office from where it is being despatched...
I request you to please look into the matter, so that we enjoy reading fully.

Toi is sending the executives that if we pay 499 paper will be delivered for 1 year. Now i will explain how the scam works they don't deliver paper if we give complaint they will send paper for 2 days again they stop delivery of paper, again if you give complaint they will send paper for 2 days... How many times do you have time to complaint and follow up. This is happening all over the country i enquired many of my friends same case with everyone. Everyone should come front to show this big scam happening...

I want to complaint against your ads which you publish without any authentication of the online site sale/shop. Never expected that toi could be so irresponsible that they publish the ad and support fake sites. I am one of the victim of hyperkart market online site which looted thousands of people across india. This is one the worse experience ever. Strict and necessary actions should be taken against the site owner and even toi should be suspended from giving such ads. I would suggest no one to believe toi ads as they exploit the full rights of democracy to cheat common people of the country.
