[Resolved] Indane Gas - Indian Oil — Over charging by dealer for new LPG cylinder connection

Address: Bokaro, Jharkhand

Recently I applied for a new LPG domestic connection with Ref No. N[protected]. When my father went to the distributor (Name: Bokaro Flame), he was asked to deposit an amount of Rs 7,800 which is way higher than original price of Rs 3,500 (estimated) and Mr Rajesh who claim himself manager of that office clearly informed that he will be giving receipt of only Rs 3,500.

When my dad asked about the reason, he informed that the same fee is applicable to everyone comes here for new connection and without it no body can get a new connection. He also said that the decision of taking higher amount is imposed from top and he cannot do anything about it.

It's highly frustrating to see and experience this kind of scenario where one have to bribe people for having a day meal at your home. It is an essential commodity for every household now a days and bribing authority for this tells us the kind of society we live in.

After having this experience my father came back home without knowing what to do. Now we decided to take this matter to the concerned person just in case if somebody still has the heart to understand our or others plight facing the similar issue.

IOC-LPG — Over-charging of LPG

Dear Sir,
I am an LPG consumer (Customer No. 20317) of Ever Green Gas Agency (Indane Distributors), Shop No.6, Gulabi Bagh, Delhi-7. For the last two days, i.e. on 2nd and 3rd June, 2008, I dialed several times for booking of lpg. But the phone lines are cut off . Next day i.e. on 4.6.2008, I personally visit the agency, I found that all the lines are died. Then I booked gas on 4.6.2008 vide Cash Memo No. 945, who assured me that till today evening you will get your LPG. But I did not get the gas in that day. On 5.6.2008, when I get the LPG, the price was overcharged at Rs.346.30 by handwritting over the computer printed receipt.
I hereby complained that though I booked lpg on 4.6.2008 at 9.55 AM and though the price hike was effected from 5.6.2008 I was overcharged with Rs.50/-. Kindly look into the matter and revert me about this injustice.

Lpg Gas Cylinder — unnecessary charges claimed while getting a new cylinder

Hi,

I went for a second Cylinder from the dealer named ShreeLalji in Kandivili(E), Mumbai. While getting the new cylinder they charged me 1822/-.
1250/- as deposit, 336/- for the cylinder, 25/- stamp duty and 110/- for TEA. When i asked them i dont want TEA they told me that i have to take it anyhow and they charged me 110/- for that. When i came back and checked the price of the TEA in the packet it is mentioned as 49/-. So my concerns are
1) Even though i dont want the TEA packet they asked me to take it compulsorily
2) the price of the TEA packet is mentioned as 49/- but they charged 110 for 2 packets (i.e. Rs 55/- for each packet).
This is very irritating that how could they force a customer to take the tea packets compulsory. Kindly check with the dealer if they are charging illegaly.

Regards,
Gyana

Hi,

Thanks for taking care of my complaint. I received a call from the owner of the HP Sree Lalji and he apologized for charging extra money from me while registering for second cylinder and is ready to pay back the amount.

Thanks for the help.
