Tamil Nadu Electricity Board [TNEB] Complaints & Reviews

Hi,

Due to personal reasons, I was unable to pay my electricity charges for 2yrs (the house was locked too for 2yrs). As per procedure, my connection was disconnected. Now, I'm want my connection back. When we went to submit the appl for reconnection, they said that we need to pay a sum of Rs.35000/- as they can't give us the connection back, and only new connection can be given.

During Jul'08, I had been to the E.B office of Chitlappakkam, Chennai -64 to make the payment of the current month's electricity bill. When I went there, the officials said that the Meter Readings were not updated in their Databases. Hence, they asked me to handover the EB Reading Card and the Money (INR 472) so that they can credit into my account as the last date of payment was nearing. I did the same and I approached the EB office...

we are residing in PALLIKARANAI CHENNAI-600 100.
when we approached the EB office at MEDAVAKAM to pay the electricity bill, they are not accepting it. The reason given by them is that the bill is not updated in the computer. To update the bill we had to stand for more than 4 hours in the queue, even then they did not updated the bill. Hence we are unable to pay the bill even today 10-DEC-2008.
Is it necessary for a consumer...

I'm residing on Vandikaaran street, Maduvankarai, Guindy. Here power is shutdown for 3 hours, i.e. from 10 to 12 in the morning and 6-7 in the evening, whereas in the Alwarpet area (near park sheraton hotel), power is not shutdown even for 1 hour. Why this disparity? When they shut down for 3 hours in Alandur Municipality, why not they do it everywhere equally. When I called the TNEB offices, I was informed that they get pressure from...

Hi,
I am the resident of 3, Ashtabujam first lane, choolai, chennai -112. For our house, the EB connection is given from opposite house by the wire given by us. We asked for permanent solution since this problem is related to cable fault laid by TNEB for the last 6 months. Today they came and asked us Rs.3000/- for changing the cable and for labour work. They didn't give bill for this also. Please suggest me whom to send...
