Dear sir
I am subscriber to toi + et (5) days, after several months my vendor asked for payment of some supplements like wealth and speaking tree.

When the payment of rs. 993/= was accepted such variation of terms were not told to subscriber and its subsequent variation of contract on a consideration which amounts to unlawful loss to subscriber and unlawful gain to publisher / vendor
You are hereby requested to withdraw the bill of supplements immediately failing which i shall be constrained to initiate appropriate legal action in civil and criminal law as per law of the land
Regards

    My subscription no is [protected]. I still have not received my first subscription coupon. The subscription newspaper started on 14.08.2017. My newspaper vendor is following me. The said subscription should have reached by now. Also please ask the courier person to contact me before coming to the desired destination, so that i may guide him properly the address.

      Earlier i was subscribing hindustan newspapers for the last so many years and availed their coupons also provided to me very professionally. Upon toi's request & solicitation, i paid for yearly subscription of times of india and economic times, but both, news papers in feb march this year around. Till date i did not receive any coupons, and have been paying to my news paper's vendor in cash out of my pocket, though i already had paid in advance as discussed above. Upon multiple followup to one mr. Ishwar (Mob no [protected]) from toi who came to known to me since i had booked the aforesaid coupons and made the advance payment thereof, today one person came to my door to deliver me duplicate coupons as he told me, and earlier confirmed by mr. Ishwar. First he rang my door bell impatiently many a times without even waiting for us for 30 seconds. When i saw that guy at my door, from his appearance he looked like a sweeper or labourer. As, he was brushing his teeths at my door with a 'datun' (A tooth stick may be of neem tree) but, he told me that he had my economic times and toi's coupons. He handed over me opened envelop containing those coupons. As the envelop was not sealed so i could have not acknowledge and sign it without looking the inside documents and check that. But that guy was badly arguing me, persisted to give him signed acknowledgement receipt from my end without allowing me an opportunity to check those documents which would have taken only 2 minutes. He said that he can't wait for any moment as i am not the only one to whom he has to deliver those coupons. He was spitting at my door side many times while arguing as he was brushing his teeths as well, as mentioned above, with a tooth stick. Finally he remain adamant not to allow me even few seconds to check me those documents (I. E. Coupons) in open envelop and started misbehaving even though i had asked him not to shout and misbehave in the presence of my neighbours.
      The situation was going to take ugly spat that's why i returned him. I advised him many a times that if he wants me to give acknowledgement receipt of those open documents then he will have to stop misbehaving and allow me to check this documents and call you also, as i had lodged my complaint before you.
      Please confirm me that as to how such a vendor can be associated with brand like toi? Does toi hire such crude, illiterate, uneducated, rude, i'll-mannered and street like boys as vendors, who prefer to brush and spit at customer's door like an animal and misbehave and look like a sweeper from their appearance or a hooligan while the open their mouth? Have you conducted police verification before hiring such vendors? Have you imparted required training to them before you send at customers doors and ring the door bell? How he was he authorised to carry a unsealed envelop as it was breach of confidential & personal information of the customer? By shouting and misbehaving early in the morning at my door before my neighbours, he tarnished my image. Toi has made me suffer by not delivering the coupons and sending such an unscrupulous people and disclosing my personal and confidential information to third party vendor putting me into any impending threats. So far i have no solution of my grievances.

      Thanks!

        I paid annual subscription. Vide order no. Ndf051843 id no.36112777and i had to cancel it due to i was assigned overseas job. Iimmedately cancelled and advised your office. The officials sent instructions for refund to the concerned people and told me that i would get back my money soonthis was a month back. But i am yet to get it.
        Pl. Initiae action
        I had opted for six months subscription of Times of India vide order number #TS0016573. At first the vendor refused to deliver Economic Times along with TOI. This issue was resolved after nearly two weeks of my taking up the matter with TOI. Then the vendor demanded delivery charges. I again wrote to TOI ON 11/10/2020.
        As usual TOI kept silent and now the vendor has stopped delivering newspapers w.e.f. 27/10/2020. When I again took up the matter with TOI, now I received a reply that it is the prerogative of the vendor to ask for delivery charges. What was the reason for this inordinate delay not once but twice?? Now with what face will I ask the vendor to resume delivery.
        I have demanded a refund as I have opted for another newspaper. I am sure TOI will again sleep on the matter. The helpline number provided by them is anything but helpful. There is no response on the number.
        I request TOI through your medium to initiate my refund without any delay.

        My customer ID is MU[protected]. I have made a subscription for 6 months package of Maharashtra Times & Times of India - Economics Times on 19/01/2021 starting from 25/01/2021 to 24/07/2021.

        And made the payment of Rs. 754/- for Maharashtra Times & of Rs. 1300/- for Times of India - Economics Times through Google pay.
        But on 21/01/2021..I made a request to cancel my both the subscriptions due to sudden plan for change of city for a 6-7 months. Also I requested to process refund to me for the amount of Rs. 2054/-.

        Also on 5/03/2021, after telephonic complaint for no response from them... I received a mail requesting my bank details..
        & i responded with my bank details to it on 5/03/2021 & also on 17/03/2021.

        Since than I have not received my refund.
        I sent a reminder mail to them on 8/05/2021, for which I received mail with apologies & request to wait for few more days.
        It's 26/05/2021 today.. Yet I have not received my refund.

However, neither copy of times of india nor any coupon has been against said subscription amount. Hence, it is requested to give me details whom facilitate against my payment or start my subscription of times of india at as earliest as possible.

              Dear ​officer in charge, ​

              This in regards to my complaint against paris cargo, which is based in shariah (U. A. E).
              On 6th june, 2017, i sent the cargo through paris cargo, person name shafiq - [protected], +[protected] who took 265 kgs, in total 7 cartons from my residence in sharjah.​ the cargo was booked under my mother name - mrs. Kiran lyall.​
              It was informed that i will receive the cargo in 45 days, till date i am waiting for my cargo..
              When my friend in dubai called him, after 15 days he gave her two numbers in india to trace the cargo.
              1. Kabir - [protected]
              2. Harjinder singh - [protected].

              Harinder called my mother ​on 28th of august, 2017 to reconfirm the pin code no.
              He is now not answering my call at all, both of them.​ he did pick up the call after a day, where in he is just taking me for a ride, asking me unnecessary to send him watsup messages.​ ​even, i told him that i will pay your transportation cost which he told me is 4000 ruppess, but​ ​, still every time he pick my call, he is telling one or the other story.​

              This man shafiq ran to india, is fraud and harinder sing is fraud. Full details are forwarded to bombay police, officer in charge - mr. Ramchander - did not reply, punjab police is not taking action, i already sent email complaint to them. Shafiq knows i have come back to india, is not giving me tracking details, not this man harinder is not giving any tracking number to me.

                I am really tired of toi service. I subscribed toi news papar 6 months back and cheque amount was dedicated 6 months back on 21/03/17 but till now i have not received any coupon for the same and now my news paper distributor is asking for payment, that means i have to pay twice for the same. Most disgusting is that they are calling repeatedly for subscribing more magazines and newspapers and not hearing my previous issues. I subscribed one of times magazine but my previous problem is not solved. Really unprofessional, now m going to stop reading and not going to toi to anybody.

                    It's already september and veterinary counseling of india doesn't update the students about the counseling notification for 2017. As a student the only thing i can do is wait and wait. No one is bothered about this. Seriously this is future for some students. I did a long term already and if they don't conduct what should i do. They are many students who are eagerly waiting for the counseling just like i am. The aipvt 2016 is still the same site in 2017. This is my future as well as few students out their if you don't take an action you are just going to destroy the veterinary doctors in the near future. I might take another year to become vet but i will always keep saying that no one is bothered about this the only thing they care is mbbs course. I hope you will take action asap please.

                          I have got an sms regarding new paper confirmation before 2 months, but still not started. Kindly cooperate and call me back on [protected], its very ridiculous that my newspaper is delivering to some other person. Its request you to kindly look into this matter and call me as earliest as possible

                              I had given a request for matrimonial advertisement on 04.08.17 and i made the payment for it on the very same day. I was told by your executive mr. Asad phno. [protected] that add will be printed for next 4 sundays. It was duly printed for 3 sundays 6, 13 and 20. But add was not printed on last sunday 28 because of your team technical negligence. Reason being they printed my add twice in the paper of 20 aug.

                              Now my question is why should i suffer due to your team negligence and on the top of that mr asad is scolding me that why i didn't inform him after 20 aug?

                              How could i inform when i myself wasnt aware that ur team had printed my add twice on 20 aug.

                              I checked my add in first row on 20 and then why should i go through entire column to check how many times my add is printed?

                              Now ur team has denied to print one add which is left for last sunday?

                              Is this the customer service of reputed newspaper like yours? It was my first experience of matrimonial advertisement but i am highly disappointed by the service and behaviour of your employees and then you want customer to bear the loss by accepting that add was by mistakenly printed twice.

                              Can i expect some resolution for this???

                                    Your recent report on 'babas behind bars' has also featured ananda marga founder shri prabhat ranjan sarkar. The allegations that are made in him were totally baseless and he was proven innocent in courts. The high court has accepted that shri prabhat ranjan sarkar detention during emergency period was illegal and part of a dirty plot. How come you mentioned his name among the other culprits who are been declared guilty by the courts. This is extremely condemnable and ananda marga will report your news paper. Immediately take down the report and issue a public apology otherwise there will be grave consiquences.

                                    Having a Times of India subscription. vendor keeps demanding delivery charges at times refusing to delivery further papers. a supplement of 21 pages on 15th aug'17 was not delivered to any one in santacruz west. repeated complaints to TIO office are not attended. delivery for last 3 days not done by vendor.
                                    I read toi after a very long time, but my experience was not good at all. I found many grammatical errors in toi on sunday's newspaper i.e. on sep 3. I hope that this issue will be taken care of .

                                      It is my humble request to income tax department to kindly refund my tds amount for the year of 2013-14 and 2014-15. It is my hard eared money and it belongs to me.. I filled the itr but for the refund it is showing that time has expired.

                                      Why the department is not returning my money? Please refund my amount at the earliest. Thanking you.
                                      There should be a concern for the regular tax payers. As per the norms you punish to those who are not paying the tax timely and also penalize them. What about the common man? Sir/ma'am, please consider the request and allow me to file my itr refund and release my fund.

                                        I have been a regular subscriber of your times of india english newspaper.

                                        On 17.07.2017, your representative called on me and collected a cheque no. 595393 dated 17.07.2017 for rs 993.00 (+ rs 6 in cash) towards 12 months combo subscription of times of india and economic times. The cheque stands paid through clearing on 31.07.2017.

                                        On 25.07.2017, i received an sms from you informing that my subscription no. Is [protected].

                                        My subscription is to commence from 01.09.2017.

                                        However, i have not received coupons so far.

                                        I have tried to contact your office on the telephone no.[protected] several times, but all your tele-operators remained always busy and could not answer my call.

                                        Please look into and expedite despatch of coupons.

                                        Thanks

                                        K. S. Agarwal
