Torrent Power Complaints & Reviews

Dear Sir,

This is to say that i m one of the employee of torrent power ltd as this is a ltd company and is into the electricity distribution in Agra. In this company no one believe to do work as per the labor act as out of 4 weekly off Sundays the company persons calls us 2 times and when we say anything like sir tom. is Sunday and we cant come as we have the work at home, they directly says then dont come from next day they cant understand the problem of the person who is alone to do all the work of there home.If any employee really have the genuine problem then they only have one choice either there work or there problem. Now pls tell us as we all knows job is important but the personnel work is also important or not.

As per the lobor act one co who is ltd can't force any person to work more than 5 days a week but as this company have the very good contacts with ministers as they had given bribe to all of the big leaders, so not even a single person including police department help to the local person

this is on behalf of all the employees of the torrent whose dreams really shattered by this company.

Request you to pls look into the same and take tough actions against this company.

The persons who really need to be handled by you are as follows:-

1) Deepak thakkar ( VP)
2) Chandra ballabh (Manager)
3) Gyanendra (Manager)
4) Somesh (executive)
5) Rajat Gupta (asst. manger)


Thnx
An simple employee of torrent power.

Dear Sir,

Sub;- Complaint regarding the abnormally fast running meter installed by the Torrent Power Ltd.Agra

Ref.:-Service Connection No. 178819 in the name of Sudhir Kulshreshtha Advocate, at 35,K.K.Nagar,Sikandra,Agra

Torrent Power Ltd, is creating problems to the general public, I am one of among them.This company is forcefully installing meters which are running very fast as compared with the old ones.first of all I was afraid to write you but ,thought if you will not listen us who else one listen middle class peoples like me.

I am Sudhir Kulshreshtha advocate,now the customer of Torrent Power Ltd ,Agra under Service No.178819 LMV1C, At 35,K.K. Nagar. Sikandra,Agra. My meter was changed by the officer of the company Mr. Gagan Kumar, EEO287 on 22/09/2010 at 4.00 Pm, Meter No.T26503222 GENUS.This meter is defective and running very very fast or there may be some technical problem.

On 22/09/2010 the reading was 000 in the new changed meter ,at the time of installation which , in my opinion is not correct as there must me some reading of laboratory test in the meter at the time of installation which has not been mentioned my that officer at the time of issuing the sealing certificate No.101309.

On 03/10/2010, meter reader of the company came and told me that the meter is running very fast and is defective in his opinion due to some parameters he checked at the time for taking the reading.The reading he told me was 7313 Kwh only in 10-11 days. In the presence of the meter reader this meter gave7320 reading in only five minutes without any load.

I made a complaint to the company and they advised me to make a payment of meter testing fee . I deposited a sum of Rs.50 (Rs Fifty) for meter testing. Wide their Receipt No.0948692 dated 5/10/2010 Meter Testing Application No.10/MTL/402389 Service Connection No.178819
Machine 2062 RLJ10057199 Receipt No.0000405 Dated 05/10/2010.

On[protected] the meter testing team came to the site and checked the meter and the connected Load and they gave their report that the meter was running properly and they have taken the MRI data from the meter and further cause of action should be taken as per that report.

Meter testing team has tested the meter and given the report for that moment only when they checked the meter.How it is possible
That meter give the cumulative MD kw,Current month MD kw,as 43.24 and Cumulative MD Kva and current Month MD Kva as 43.28.

Please note that this is the domestic connection of 5 Kw. And checking team has checked and verified the total connected load as 3760 total wattage they have mentioned in the meter testing report.

In any case this is not possible to consume 7313 units only in 10 days in a domestic connection of 5 KW.

The company send me an e-mail stating that meter is running properly and no further action is required in this regard.

Prayer-

I humbly pray that my defective meter should be replaced with the properly working meter.

My bill should be made according to my earlier usages as per the the last meter.

Instruct the company to behave properly as their customer care centers misbehave a lot with the customers.

Meter testing fee should be refunded as this not our fault that the meter of the company is not working properly.

Thanking ,

Sudhir Kulshreshtha.

PLEASE LOOK AFTER IT .

I was serving for a public limited company for about 2 years and 8 months as an executive. As I got a good offer from another consulting firm hence i submitted my resignation to sanctioning officer stating my last date in the organization for a duration of a week saying i am ready to pay amount in lieu of my 3 months notice period. He refuse to accept my resignation with the last date and asked me to remove the same. so i removed the last date and put wording "as soon as possible with ready to pay amount in lieu of the notice period." and took his sign on the duplicate. I was having 2 months of notice period.

I waited for some days but my transfer of responsibility process didnot started so i wrote mail to start the same as soon as possible and still the same did not started. After some days i lef the company without serving the remaining notice period and later sent them mail that i will not come back to duties since i've joined another company. I also called my superior and HR for the final settlement and any payment from my side but they did not respond.

After 3 Months i again called the HR for final settlement and he asked me to come personally for the same. In my personal discussion with HR, he calcualted my Payable as about 85K (for my short notice period) and receivable (my Balance PL encashment, notice period salary and Bonus) as about 51K. so i told him that i am willing to pay difference i.e. 85 - 51 = 34K. HR did ask for the interest on the money @ 12% that i also agreed. but after that he is saying that there will be penalty also for the short notice and i have to pay 85K (gross salary of my short notice period without deducting my earning i.e. 51K) for the final settlement which is not agreeable in any case as i feel it is too excessive. I asked him to give me the detailed calculation for my final settlement in writting which he denied. so i also intimate him to give me the same through SMS and email but after a week still did not got the same. Even on the phone people are not talking nicely.

I have also asked for the resignation acceptance letter and Form 16 from company which they have not given me so far. In absence of my Form 16 i am also unable to file my income tax returns. They are not releasing these documents before the final settlement. My experience letter and relieving letter is also pending bcoz of final settlement.

My meter no-92939 and my may month bill was axes and i have done complain in torrent power and complain no is[protected].but bills are not modify and he said to me you will paid may month bill and adjust axes meter reading in next bill but not adjust axes bill in jun and july.I remind torrent power call center but they are no responce and i am paying may,jun and july bill. so please modify my axis meter reading bill which is axes rate.my old bill average check but may bill are axes so please modify my bill
thank you

Sir

It has been more than 30 hours continous that there is no electricity in a particular area of vijaynagar in agra.
At calling up the customer care they are not ready to tell the problem and when it will be resolved.
Apart from this there are power cuts for 7-8 hrs in a day a lot of times.
How long are we going to suffer in such a condition.

torrent power executives had came with police force into our lane for finding the houses using wrong electricity, thats legal i can understand but they came into my house when my grandmother was alone in house at that time and wrongly put allegations on us that you meter is slow you done something to it that was completely wrong. they came into my house for inspections of instrument and wriiten so many watts of electric equipments and when i came home they just told me that there some problem sign in this document and we will give you new meter and i signed it without knowing that it was sheet that they use for applying fine for theft of electricity and when i come to know about it i rush towards torrent power office at naranpura and they ask me to submit 37000 aprox. i had done lot of debate that its completely wrong. and really they are fraud doin fraud with innocent civilians. kindky focus on this issue and revert me on my mail i.d [protected]@gmail.com

sir my connection no is 92939.you have sent my bill on 01-06-10. In bill
reading show on 21-05-10 is 7150 but my meter show reading 7146 in date 01-06-10.so my bill is wrong pls correct my bill than i can pay my billi have been complaint my bill.but anybody comes my home in your company.

We are suffering from constant power supply failure and fluctuation from Torrent power Ahmedabad, in our entire society there are only 4-5 flats where we are suffering light connection disconnection problems once or twice a week.

Upon calling call centre they have guide us to write to higher officials, which i did on May 21st 2010, but the officials do not have enough time to revert once.

Though we have sufficient power load of 6 KW to run 2 ACs, we can not start 2 acs at a time, even with one AC if we put gyzer or tv or other electric appliance on, we are getting power disconnection , slowen fans and disconnection of lights etc.

My AC compressor is failed once due to this problem.

I am herewith attaching a copy of the letter written to the higher officials which has not be taken care any more from May 21st.

The Manager - Fault Division,
The Asst. General Manager,

Dear Sirs,

Sub: Constant problems in services of Meter No : 331167, 331168, 331171.

We Kokilaben C Gandhi, Sangita Shah, Annaben Satishbhai Bhau are the members of Nihir Co Operative Housing society holding the above mention service nos. for our torrent power AEC Ltd. Supply.

We are very much disappointed from the last 2 months or so with the constant power failure problems from your end, Upon approaching call centres, we are not getting any prompt reply about the concern person taking charge of our particular location.

If you can look at the records from call centres, you will find that we placed a disconnection request atleast 10-15 times during last 2 months, thus there is no permanent solution suggested from your end which seems poor facilities from your end.

Also from last 15 days the power supply is fluctuated and while using appliances like AC, Oven, Mixer grinder or other rarely used appliances we found fluctuation of power resulted in switched off lights automatically, fans get slower than its usual speed and compressor of Air condition stops working etc.

You should clearly understand that all o[censored]s have a elders in our house more than 60 years of age, and they can not bear this extreme heat, also it is bit less possible for them to climb stairs and go to the roof top of the building, also they are commonly get injuries due to non vision during electricity failure.

As on 20th May 2010, at night 11 pm the electricity power load failed and the call centre people did not lift our call till night 2 pm, in morning they mentioned that there is only 2 people in the call centre attending the problems and hence there are 18-20 calls on wait at a time, so it is less possible for them to pick up and take request during night time, which shows a poor administration from your end too.

Though your websites shows success ratio of accuracy and complain clearance by 99%, we feel that we are amongst that 1% unfortunate people who can not enjoy your facilities from power supply to call center.

With great surprise we found that there are only 3-4 meters not working in our society and getting problem although we have 48 members in the society.

We therefore request you to give us the reply in writing on :

1. what time it will take to clear the problems regarding constant failure of electricity supply and fluctuation problem clearance from your end.

2. Whom to contact in case if the call center people are not attending the call during night time

3. Whom to contact in fault division for the particular fault at site and what to do or whom to complain if the call center people does not give their nos.

We are awaiting for your earliest reply on the same and hopping to get clearance of our above mention problems at earliest.

On Behalf of Kokilaben Gandhi, Sangita Shah and Annaben Satishbhai Bhau,

Service No: 858962 I brought a residential bunglow. The seller deposited Rs.30000 with you company for some reason. He showed me the credit in your books and got amount recovered from me while selling off.
I am not using that property at all. It is closed. For atleast another 2 years that will remain idle. Unused.

I requested several times to refund me the amount. I am ready to pay off whatever bill I get every month. I have other total 5 torrent connections at office and my other present residence.

Torrent authorities clearly told me 'WE WILL NOT REFUND ONCE MONEY IS WITH US". Now this is unreasonable. If we owe any amount they can sue us. Why not we?

Please show me how to get back my own amount.

This is with reference to the above stated subject. I regret to inform you that no.1 company torrent power and such huge mistake that also for last 4 years i.e. from 7/6/2006 to 10/2/2010.

I was shocked when i came to know that i am being charged commercial rate per unit in my house bill. I am staying in above service no house since 1952 and till date i have never done any commercial activity in my house. I visited to your office for increase in load and i came to know above this cheating done to me. I request you to kindly check with my society surroundings and refund back my difference of commercial and residential.

Further, by the grace of god i never in my life till date required to do any commercial activity in my house. Next to my house is commercial shop but his service no is different and he his being charged commercial only. We have no concern with them.

kindly look into the matter seriously and refund back the difference amount.

thanking you
Your's truly

The fault repair teams of this electricity company come often to repair faulty lines and they dig up deep pits on the sides of our house. After they finish their work, they simply cover the pit loosely with the mud which is unearthed during the digging. So there are heaps of mud just lying around. In fact the stones and tiles that they remove from the site just lie around. This constitutes a grave safety hazard.

They had dug up both the sides of our house during Diwali last year and again this year in the month of January. No amount of complaining to them about it has helped. They promise on phone but nobody visits the site. The latest complaint was made on Feb 15, but there has been neither any response, and certainly no action. I have the complaint number with me. But it is no use.

Two weeks back I have sent them a notice to this effect through a lawyer stating that further appropriate action will be taken if they do not respond. Their attitude a deficiency in their services and, moreover their lack of action poses a great safety hazard, since senior citizens like me( I am 76 years old) can easily
stumble at night when the visibility is poor.

My service number with them( the Torrent Power Ltd) is 333162

I am a registered consumer of torrent power limited, Ahmedabad. My Service. No. 906086, esidence adress is 61, Gyatree Tennaments, Ghatlodiya, Ahmedabad, Torrent Powwr Ltd is monopoied lincienced utility.
Once When I was Out of State, My Family Memer had paid Energy Bill By Cheque.But by mistake or oversite, name of company was not written on cheque, and bill collector ( At Bill Collection Van near K.K.Nagar) as also equaly responsible for on reciveing bill without name of company. why I am customer oneside punished. even I have full ballance in my account, I have to pay intrest amount too.

My balance was there.
then after I was told to pay 3 nos of energy bill by Cash. I did it. now that period is completed but eventhogh when my family memer goes to pay by cheque the person on collecting wan refused to accept amount by cheque and ask them to pay only by cash. It should not be life time punishment.
I wish that the person is harraging us. you are requested to look into. and favour me
thanking you

when Torrent Power arrived in Bhiwandi, our powerloom metres where changed from MESB's to Torrents New Metre. Since then I was receiving average reading bills, it was due to there mistake in writing the metre no on there box and on there records, my "metre change slip" had a metre no. ( the same is on the metre) but bill had metre no. different. i have made 3-4 compliants since then and was assured of the correction soon, though it took a year almost. Now the bill given to me with the correct metre number now shows the outstanding amount since its installation. From two months i have been rectifying the bills, but the next bill is the same problem. Even the Tarrif Category has been changed from Powerloom to LTPG. I have tired making the rounds to there offices. Every single mistake of their is been born by me. Every time they assure me to rectify the problem but is still not done. Now to change the metre category they are asking for loom registeration papers and what not papers. I dont know whether this would even solve the problem. Please tell me what should be done. I have each and every complain receipts and all the papers with me.

thankyou.
