Since the phrase he has not done yet is in present tense, the answer should be John tells me as it's in present tense.

No swati, namratha is correct. Parellism error.

Ya. Namratha is correct. If 'hadn't is the one used in the later part,'told' would have been used.
Alok said:

Tells is correct, as something is told which is still continuing in present, please emphasis on last part. Hasn't done it yet.
