Paid at Madam Enterprises - ********** Gas Agency
- Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs
- New Gas Connection
- Paid INR 3,000
I moved to Bangalore in January. I had to start getting settled and getting a gas connection was on top of the list - i had to cook and then eat!
The feedback and reviews i got on most agencies was that they were corrupt. I had to go with ********** gas because they were the only ones that did not insist on a ration card for the proof of address.
I had to pay the agency up in advance ( deposit + price for 2 cylinders + other accessories) The total was around ~3000/- ( according to a board with prices listed out - collateral provided by ********** gas, which i assume was to be displayed mandatorily). the bil given to me was for Rs.6500 - It did not specify the heads that added up to this.
I thought i should have walked out. But the connection was essential. So i paid up and then got my connection a few days later.
I need to visit the ********** Gas office and file a complaint. But if the complaint cannot be anonymous, i fear being blacklisted.
