    Address: C1Allied Enclave 3 Main road Swaminathan Nagar- Kottivakham Chennai

    Dear sir,

    I would like to bring to your notice that i live in c1- allied elegant enclave 3 main road swaminathan nagar at kottivakham chennai.

    I have been getting excessive electricity bill from past 3 months, but somehow i have managed to pay it assuming that the government or the electricity board will rectify this issue in the next month as everyone is in there respective home due to covid 19 & lockdown by our government.
    Unfortunately my trust on electricity board took a shock when again i received a bill of 19000/- which doesn't make sense at all.
    I work for one of the most reputed hospital in chennai and most of my time is spent in hospital and i am living alone from past 3 months it is practically impossible to get a bill of 19000/-.

    Request you all to kindly look into this personally as such things gives an unwanted stress and loss faith in government and the electricity board authority.

      Dear sir / madam, i'm have my bill on 30/06/2020, service number[protected]. Unfortunately, the payment which has been made got tucked, so i paid the bill again. When i checked the customer support for payment refund transaction status after days time, they displayed "recommended for refund" status with no refund sent date. Normally, it takes 4 days - 7 days to get the amount refunded. Till now (14.07, 2020), i have not gotten my amount refunded with the same status availability on their web under my profile customer support page. I could not able to contact the admin team on this issue because of non availability of the phone no.. I want the technical team to assist me on this and to resolve this issue asap by refunding the amt. Note : though, they have given the transaction id-[protected].

        Hi,
        I'm murali, residing at voc nagar, soolakkarai medu, virudhunagar. The eb wire near my house between 2 posts are hanging low as 11ft from ground which needs to pulled and maintain a safe distance of 15ft and above. Verbal complaint given to wireman couple of times, they are denying work saying they don't have manpower to do the job. It's been dangerous to any van/lorry crossing via our street. Need help to forward the complaints to right authorities.

        Thanks

          Hi sir, i am residing in melavaniyangudi, sivagangai. For the month of may an additional unit of 120 was added to our bill.. We noticed the mistake on the month of july 2020 and asked the eb person to adjust the unit in this month’s bill as we have paid more on the last bill. Please let us know how can this be solved.

                        Respected sir/madam
                        We have put 60kw solar in our dindigul unit on last year august month and we have applied for net metering. Ee, ad and ae have made the site visit and advise usvto get the safety certificate we also got the certificate and submitted to them
                        After approval they ask us to pay the fees we have paid the fees also after that they asked us to collect the meter from chennai in our cost we have did that also
                        After doing all this they simply say ground panneling is not approved you make all the panels in rooftop if it is like that why they have given approval while they visited the site in person
                        Then again we have changed allvthe panels to roof top of spending double the cost and now they are saying again start from the begining
                        Plz do the needful in this regard

                            Dear sir/madam,

                            I am residing in thiruvarur district, koothanallur taluk, 55. Sathahoor village, which is under vadapathimangalam eb circle. My eb payment is scheduled in bi-monthly. I don't know the reason for not taken reading in dec-19 & feb-20, then come to known through neighbor as visited their home. Then i visit vadapathimangalam eb office and told them about this and paid some amount in advance. Apr-2020 not visited in my village due to covid-19, but i paid some amount in advance to avoid any disconnection. Jun-2020 took reading as meter usage 1091 and amount rs. 3901.

                            While there is no mistake from me, why i should pay these much amount?. The actual reason for high amount, meter reading not took last 3 bi-months and accumulated all 3 bi-month meters in jun-2020 calculation and charged in different tariff.
                            I enclosed bill history for your ready reference, kindly review and take appropriate action

                              Residing as a tenant for the past two years in the above given following address.During this pandemic situation, as per the rules of the Tamil nadu government everyone are particularly supposed to stay at home.When there is so many consequences to be faced.
                              There is this unexpected panic circumstances arises due to Tamil Nadu Electricity Board(TNEB).
                              Because of the abnormal or intentional mistake the EB bill statement shows Rs.6138 for the month of may i.e:-17/06/2020
                              But the past assessment bills was
                              18/04/2020-Rs.590
                              18/02/2020-Rs.590
                              17/12/2020-Rs.530
                              18/10/2019-Rs.650
                              Eventhough we stay at home maximum to the end, the EB amount bill can be raised Rs.1100/-only as we consume only less electricity usage. But we received bill amount to be paid for 10times the actual billing statement for the month of MAY which is certainly abnormal to the current covid situation.
                              Expecting the compensation for this act of mistake or misleading the metre reading or Mischief or Breach of Trust.
                              This is looting the money from the public at this quarantine and the TANGEDCO need to take steps for this complaint which shouldn't repeat again or by next month. But we need the response/answer for this rigorous act or intentional act on slang the money from us.

                                Dear Sir / Madam,

                                My Flat in SIS Marakesh, Urapakkam in locked from the start of COVID-19 Lockdown from end of March 2020 and no power is consumed.

                                But in February and April, we were charged Rs 3562 and was paid.

                                But in June, I received intimation that meter is defective, changed to new one and charged with Rs 7654

                                Since we are not in the flat for the last three months, there is no power consumption and due to lockdown we were unable to intimate in writing the meter fault. Actually we should be charged bare minimum.

                                Even now you can check in my flat EB meter, it will be zero consumption, hence please revise the bill to the bare minimum and update in EB payment portal since I am paying online only.

                                      I'm a resident of nedugula village. For the past 3 days there is no power supply in my house. We called the line man (Name: siva - in charge of nedugula electricity). I've been calling him for the past 3 days and informed about the situation. There is a wire problem in the post that directs electricity to my house. I'm not able to work for the past three days as i'm working from home. And there are women and small kids who are suffering. I request the concerned authority to take severe action against the line man who is very irresponsible and as i called him several times he's not answering my calls. Please take action against this.. My house sc. No:143. Nedugula village.
