Times Of India Complaints & Reviews

Today i happened to read your newspaper, bangalore edition. From first 10 pages its 8 pages ads!!! That too full page. Show some dedication and respect to your paper. Are you times of india or ads of india??? Give us real news instead of filling our heads with crappy ads everywhere. We are also paying money for your paper, not just ads. Stop being money grabbing #.

Stop whipping an gandu amitabh bachchan #. U dedicate whole paper to a useless guy on his birthday, why... Because he is a part timer of times of india and attend all media function and reality shows, or just because he knows where to go at which time indira gandhi, mulayam singh, now modi. Weren't there any other real superstar of bollywood who's birthday should be celebrated this fassion? Perhaps they don't say u. P me hai dum jurm yahan hai kum. I don't care what u think but for me amitabh is a joke

Last october, ie 2016, i was visited by one of your executive, who gave me his visiting card as under:
Mr s. Kesavaprasath,
Executive,
Rmd.
Mobile no:[protected]
He explained the "subscription offer", collected a cheque for rs 499/ and assured me that once the process is complete, i will receive a "travel bag" as gift.
Well my cheque got cleared, and i started to receive my news paper per schedule, but nowhere was the "travel bag".
I called the above number of mr s. Kesavaprasath, not once, not twice, but more than 3..4 times, and never received any confirmation on the status of the travel bag.
Then i found i was being kicked around like a football, from one team to another, but nothing seemed to be happening.
Sometime last month, i received a mail which informed me that my subscription ends on 31/10/17, and when contacted the person on the other end was willing to come and collect the cheque, but when i raised this issue, there was no answer, and nothing happened later.
After that, this afternoon i spoke with mr kesavaprasath about this issue,, who informed me that he will call me back in "one hour". I waited for 4 hours till around 5.45 pm and called him back, and he came up with the excuse that my area "mylapore" is under another person, and that he is in the washroom. He assured me that person will call in just about 10 minutes, i waited for almost 45 minutes, and then called mr kesavaprasath, who by then knew my cell number and didnt pick up the call. I kept calling atleast 2.. 3times, but no response.
In a major organization like toi, is this the way your executives, treat their customers???
I had opted for toi, since i am a mumbaikar, and have been reading toi, since my childhood.
Do i opt back to the hindu, which is a better option???
Hoping you guys will take the appropriate action.
Thanks,
Shrini

Sir
I contacted verma agency (Delhi) for the matrimony adv. The contact person was komal sharma. She offered sangam package and told me that adv would be issued in toi plus nav bharat times in multiple cities. I paid 7400/- for the same. But the adv was not issued anywhere except in jaipur city. When i contacted her and asked for the bill and other details she didn't cooperate infact mishaved.
I request you to look into the matter asap as its highly disappointing that a leading newspaper's name is associated with such fraud people.

I am an annual subscriber for toi, chennai edition for many years. I live in 2nd floor, annai illam, 82 appu street, mylapore, chennai - 600 004.
However, the news paper vendor (Contact [protected]) who use to deliver toi regularly at my residence in the aforesaid address is now refusing. He insist that the news paper will be kept at the ground floor near two wheeler parking.
I faced similar problem last year also since the delivery boy keeps changing and hence the time & place (Time varies from 6.15am to 8.30am & place varies from near the gate, two wheeler parking, 1st floor to very rarely in the 2nd floor)
I was reluctant to renew my subscription this year due to this and informed your dsa (Code:cr2915) accordingly who assured to change the vendor if such problem repeats.
The problem has resurfaced again for the past two months. I have to wait till 8.30am and then check at all the places including ground floor and main entrance from road. Many a days i buy the news paper despite the annual subscription.
I am left with the following options now:-
1. To continue with the present vendor and bear the trouble and keep buying from outside also, which i do not want to.
2. To change the vendor with your assistance.
3. To terminate my subscription and buy elsewhere.
I seek your reply to assist me and assure to continue my subscription in the coming years.

The times of india, date oct 3, 2017, page 14.
The headline "brush with racism made jagmeet aware of issues". This article depicts racist mindset of the writer (The times of india) who shamelessly quotes in his/her article "as a brown guy with a strange name and headgear...". I outrightly condemn this writing and would take up social media and all other means to create awareness about the stereotype mindset of times of india writers/columnist.

Dear times team,

There was printing error on your front page of "times property" dated 30th september, 2017.

Error is date mentioned "december 31, 3017 to march 31, 2019.". Year mentioned 3017.
It should be 2017 as since its related to government information so it's very important and correct it.

Please check the attachment

I reside at indira nagar, dehradun. We do not receive the magazine section (Doon times) on a number of days.in addition the main paper mentions a certain number of pages and we daily have a few sheets short. I contacted my supplier and he says this is the way it is sent to him. Why do you have no control over your delivery system? Do you understand what this is doing to your reputation as it is a fraud and theft? In addition how do we complain when our city is not even included in your official website in the drop down box, (http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/feedback.cms)
I should be compensated for all this time that i have paid for my subscription and have been short supplied. I can be contacted at [protected]

I saw an advertisement of a full page in the newspaper regarding a discount on the application(Hypermarket kart). The application is a fraud. Times never even checked the company, pathetic!

Times have also advertised about the same company many times in different states. Disgraceful!

I ordered the product from the application on google playstore; however, the product is not received nor the refund. There is no response from the company too. I was charged 2516 for the items.there was the advertisement for the same on the last page of TOI newspaper. I just received the confirmation on the same day when the order was placed and there was no communication from companys side after that. However when I applied for refund they informed me that i will get refund within 24hours but again after that no communication.

I purchased on 12th september and order #[protected] in amount of 5486.50. I didn't receive the order yet. It seems like a fraud. They published the add twice in toi on and before 13the september, almost using half page. So at this point not even planning to cancel the order as no communication received yet. Their email and phone not working. Suggest us how can we move to the consumer court on this...

I took a plan for nov 16 to nov 17 for newspaper. I paid whole money in advance through cheque. I am not getting the paper from one month. After so many complaints also my problem is not getting solved. The company man gives a lollypop that he will deliver tomorrow but that tomorrow is not coming. The name of the mediator company is benetton coleman & co. Ltd., ludhiana

After reading the ad about hypermarket kart on 12th september 2017 in toi, i ordered and got cheated. If i hadn't read your paper on that day i would saved my money. I question you about your business ethics - r u hand in gloves with the cheating companies like hypermarket kart, dreams infra, tgs etc
You have let down the trust we had in your publication
