West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company [WBSEDCL] Complaints & Reviews

Ankhi Nath BD-79, Sector-I Bidhan Nagar, Kolkata-700064 To The Chairman WBSEDL West Bengal Sub: Complaint against issuance of new Electric Meter & supply to unauthorized person. Dear Sir I, Ankhi Nath, of BD-79, Sector-I, Bidhan Nagar, Kolkata-700064, I do hereby write to you as follows:- I, myself is the sole and absolute owner of the plot of land situated at Touzi No. 146, R.S. No. 262, J L No. 67 appretaining to khatian No. 41 being part of Dag No. 493 in Mouza Maheswarpur within Police Station-Barasat in the District of 24 parganas (N) inclusive of a Kutcha shop room measuring about 225 sq ft. (approx) tanented to Mr Madan Chandra Pal, of Palpara Road (Kumorpara), Village – Maheswarpur, PO – Badu, North 24 Pgs, Kolkata – 700128. It is observed that your Madyamgram office has installed one Electric meter along with electric connection in that above mentioned shoproom without taking any such permission from me by themselves or by anybody other. Enquiring into the matter I have come to know from the local source of information, that this meter was installed sometime in the last week of December, 2013 in the name of some Sanjib Pal (who has no legal entity in this shop room). In reply to my first enquiry to your Mr S Patra, AE(E) & Station Manager, Madhyamgram CCC, WBSEDL, informed us that the connection has been effected based on one self-affidavit (which cannot be true) and voter card of the applicant. In reply to my advocate’s enquiry, he carefully & intentionally avoided to mention the name of the person to whom the connection has been issued and on which date, as he knows pretty well that an illegal practice took place in this issue by his office. He even refused to show and hand over us the photocopy of the documents on basis of which he passed the order for this connection. From the whole issue it is absolutely clear that Mr Patra’s office exercised a malafide practice for this intentional & illegal fever to some unauthorized person. Under these circumstances I request to your good self to intervene into the matter, let me know the whole details of this connection in writing along with the supporting documents for my further administrative action and please disconnect supply of electricity to this connection as early as possible. Your early action will be much appreciated. Regards Sincerely Yours Ankhi Nath Date :

To Whom it may concern, I have made written queries about the electric line being supplied to an illegal occupant on my property at J L no 7 under Moricha gram. Since the police report rec through the minority commission holds the trespasser under sec 145 Cr Pc Will the manager in incharge make descreet enquiries as to the mode and method of line received by the illegal occupant at Baikantapur? Please be informed I legally own the plot no 146 and pay bills as consumer from Kamdevpur customer center. Gram Panchayat Moricha is well aware of the taxes paid for three plots owned by me. Plot no 146, 145 and157, Since we are law abiding senior citizens we request prompt and speedy remedial action in the matter. Thank you, Mr J L Grosser,

I Sanjib Kundu filed a application on 18/12/2012 for surrender and permanent disconnect the Electric Line. Not only that on 09/04/2013 I also filed another application for meter surrender. But till date they have not any initiatives of my application. My Consumer No. is A110231, Consumer Id[protected] and Meter No. - G019748.

The In charge of WBSEDCL in 217, S.B. Roy Chowdhury Road, Nimta, Kol-700049 also misbehave me.

In this situation I earnest request to you please take necessary action other wise I will take Lawful action.

Thanks & Regards,

SANJIB KUNDU

To Dated: 07.12.2013 The Sub Divisional Office West Bengal State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd Serampore, Hooghly. Sub: Excess billing due to Wrong Meter Reading Ref: Consumer Id[protected] Dear Sir, I am sorry to inform you that, I am Nirmal Saha of Chotobelu, Arobinda park, Serampore, Hooghly Consumer id is respectively –[protected], on 6.12.2013 I have got electric bill from the period 13.8.2013 to 20.11.2013 of Rs. 6709/- unit consumed previous reading 5589 (13.8.2013)current reading 6562 (20.11.2013)= unit consumed 973.

I therefore requesting you if you like you can send your representatives again to show the meter, or send the bill for previous reading 5589 to 6127 upto 7.12.2013 = 538 units after getting fresh bill I shall pay the amount, also instruct your meter reading representatives not to do this kind of blunder in future.

Sir,
With due respect and I want so say that on 31st May, 2013 some technical staff and station manager of Balichak Customer care Center inspected our premises and found a very small rejected(joint at middle) one sq. mm local wire.And they said that you by pass the meter from nearest LT overhead line for poultry purpose.But we already have domestic LPG connection.The true fact is that the joint which was also found at the angle was made by WBSEDCL stuff at the time of replacing the meter which was very old(Watch type energy meter).They joint the 6 sq. mm two core cable with 10 sq. mm cable(old) at that time.Then the Balichak staff disconnect the line and took the energy meter with them.There after they sent provisonal assesment bill of huge amount Rs. 109026.00.After appealing at wbsetcl the bill was reduced and paid by my father.But without energy meter Balichak Customer care consecutively send electricity bill and did not connect the line.The behaviour of station manager, A.kumar Balichak CCC not good.My family is very poor and my mother is very ill.I also outside from my home near about 2yrs and six month.Only two family members are there.
There fore, I pray that you would be kind enough to investigate the matters and connect the energy meter.

Thanking you,

Dear sir,
I would like to introduce myself as an entrepreneur intend to set up
poultry Farm in janardhan sair, Ethora p.s Asansol ( N) P.S . In this
regard i applied for electric connection for commercial purposes via
ref No -[protected] Dated 18.613 to Station Manager, Domani asansol
dist Burdwan but i received letter from them stating that due to non
electrified zone they could not give connection.
Moreover i personally met with Sm and again he told some thing but
asked me to go for new transformer if i want to take line . I
approached divisional Manager and perhaps he was kind enough to talk
to station manager himself and requested him to do work . The
station manager asked me to go turnkey basis for which i give
application on 19/9/13 requesting for re inspection and estimation of
overall expenditure . The station manager assigned one contractor who
did inspection and estimated that 11 poles is required in order to
take connection . unsatisfied with his estimate i again approached DM
who asked acting SM as SM is on leave to do re inspection and he said
12 poles is required and he too asked his contractor to do my work .
I would like to bring in your kind attention that this place is
influenced by broker and contractor and intentionally they are
harassing consumer for their selfish gain .
Further i am astonished how they denied earlier saying it is non
electric zone and ON turnkey work with contractor they are ready to
execute work as i have to bear entire cost of poles and wires etc
which is beyond my reach financially. they are also increasing
numbers of poles to increase work expenditure so that they could gain
good profit. I would like to say that my site hardly 300m away from
road where already connection is given to school . poultry Farm
doesn't require much load as i will using 6 to 10 bulb of 100 watt and
small motor to pump out water.
I would be grateful if you could look into this matter as already 5
month is over and i am still in dark as how much i am likely charge
for connection as they i have not given estimation also.
In my perception their mere object is extract money from me and this
only reason they simply want to ignore or give unreasonable excuse to
avoid my case. In spite of my written application regarding estimation
of overall expenditure they have not given so far any written letter
from department and they are keeping demanding money verbally .
however they have done inspection many times but on that basis also
they should given us estimate and if they want to do re inspection
even then by this time they would have given some concrete picture
about status of my case. Few days back some person called asking me to
visit site for re inspection but didn't turn up . Now even DIVISIONAL
ENGINEER ARE NOT TAKING ANY INITIATIVE TO TAKE SOME ACTION EVEN I AM
MEETING HIM SEVERAL TIMES. ALL THEY WANT IS TO GIVE THIS TASK TO SOME
CONTRACTOR AS PER THEIR WISH.
I hope you will take appropriate step to bail me out this trouble as
i having huge loss because o[censored]nable to start my project .


Thanks & Regards

ELECTRIC THEFT FROM THE ELECTRIC POLE Dear Sir, I am an anonymous person unwilling to disclose my identity for some security reasons. I want a strict legal action be taken by the officers of WEST BENGAL STATE ELECTRICITY DISTRIBUTION COMPANY LIMITED against some people in my locality who are thefting electricity from the local electrical poles every day. These people regularly theft electricity and they use to provide electricity to those people who don't have electricity on rent.Even they use for their regular activities such as loud speakers, wedding ceremony etc.If you will visit our area you will see a lot of over wires by which they are doing this theft and i believe that some of the local employees are helping them in this kind of activities for which they use to pay them a huge money. It is therefore please visit to our place and take serious action against them.The place where these activities are going on the address:SARBAMANGALAPALLY, BAGANPARA MALDA PIN 732142

Dear Sir, I have applied for new electric connection more than one year back (march'12) & we have deposited the quotation amount on Sept'12 but till now we didn't get the electric line. We have come to know that our application is approved & two pole(s) has been sanctioned & the order of giving the line is on process. But suddenly I have come know from some third person but reliable source, that it will take a long also but if I shall agree to pay extra then it will be done within two days only. So, please suggest me what should I do now to get the connection earliest. Regards, Shubhankar Dey Oodlabari, PS.Mal Dist. Jalpaiguri, 735222

I am a WBSEDCL CONSUMER, Consumer ID-5120A9820, Category- A(DM-R). In my bill there is showing Outstanding Amount for 04-2000, 05-2000, 09-2001,10-2001, 06-2002. Our electric supply office is BANPAS Electric supply. Me and My Father went to the Station Manager of BANPAS Electric Supply to show the PAID Receipt of Those Period Bill (Showing Outstanding) FOUR times, And also submitted XEROX copies but they denied to give recived copy. Still now we are getting Notices on that topic with Power Cut warning. We want Justice.....

I've applied for a new connection 6 months back but connection not received yet. This connection is under Chaitanyapur, haldia division. Agreement has been done in the month of July but meter not received yet. Please look into the issue at the earliest. My details are given below. Name: Prakash Samanta Application Number: [protected] Consumer Id:[protected] Contact no - [protected]

THE ELECTRICITY BILL WHICH WE ARE NOW GETTING IS NOT VERY GOOD, DUE TO THE REASONS GIVEN BELOW: a) PRINTING IN THE BILL DOES NOT LAST LONG. b) ONE CANNOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE BILLING IS DONE.PLEASE TAKE PROPER STEPS SO THAT A CUSTOMER CAN UNDERSTAND HOW THE AMOUNT IS CALCULATED.

With reference to the above we are inform you that, I am lived in Kanaipur Hari sava Konnagar PO Kanaipur PS. Uttarpara Pin No-712235.Consumer ID.[protected]. Since last 3 months I am receiving very high electricity bill from WBSEDCL Konnagar. Actually we are using 3 fans, 1 Tube lights and Fridge but the Electric bills are coming above 1200/month which is very much high than what it should be. I have a doubt in my mind that either Electric Meter is not working properly or someone is doing Electric theft from our meter as we are unable to check what exactly happening because the meters are locked in a room. So request you to kindly look into it & resolve it as soon as possible.

Dear Sir/Mam

We are the villagers of Matiagacha. Ps. Barasat..are affected by regular power cut as because of high hooking or electricity theft. More or less all villagers are involved in this activities. Those who don't have miters are doing hooking and enjoying the modern civilization without any charges and also those who has miters they also doing hooking for saving there money. as a result Electric Transformer is not able to supply smiler voltage to all causes low voltage or regular power cut.
One more things I wan to say as they use hooking they can change their electricity line any time to continue the service but as we have fixed line actually we are suffering everyday with power cut.There are some People in our village who are very famous or powerful are also involved in doing electricity theft.I am not mentioning there name for my shifty.

Requesting you please do a surprised visit at our village with Police force you can catch more than hundred family for doing electric theft and relie[censored]s from this daily pain basically at night.

Thanking You
