BHARAT PETROLEUM CORPORATION LIMITED
Compulsory purchase of 5ltr veg. oil with extra cylinde

Dear Sir,

Ref: Blue card no.5538299 4.0 4 (j) AGRAWAL LATA RAVINDRA

I went to get extra cylinder on 20th may to Pushpam Gas Agency, 635/1B, New Gajara Society, Bibwewadi, Pune-411 037.

He charged me as under:

Subscription voucher (SV052) 301 7569422 dt. 20/05

For Cylinder Code 11 Quantity - 1 Rs. 1250/-

SV stamp duty (BPCL) 100/-

Insidential charges (Incidental charges??) 45/-

TOTAL Rs. (Cash memo. No. RCM/03/387/09 dt.20.5.2011 1, 395/-

Cost of Gas 350/-

In addition to the above, he made us purchase 1no Fortune Refined oil SF 5ltrs. Costing Rs. 450/-

(Cash memo no.03/271 dated 20-5 time 11.00 hrs. Operator Anjali.)as scheme floated by

BHARAT PEROLIUM for 2nd Cylinder. TOTAL PAID RS. 2, 200/-

I am wondering why BPCL who is in Petroleum products, want to force its customers to buy

Vegetable oil by linking it with issue of 2nd Cylinder??

If one protests, then one gets a rude reply that “We will not sell you extra cylinder.(2nd cylinder has become a necessity due to short/irregular supply).

I seek your explanation/clarification on such transactions by your dealer, when you regularly advertise that your dealers can not force a customer to by Hot plate etc from same dealer.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely,

Lata R. Agrawal
