Bank Locker New Rule: Some rules related to rent, security and nomination of bank locker facilities were changed. This rule was implemented in the country’s top banks like SBI, ICICI, HDFC and PNB. Let’s understand the details of charges among all these banks, how much more money is now being paid
Keep this in mind
Banks provide bank locker facilities to different categories of customers, such as personal customers, partnership firms, limited companies, clubs, etc. However, banks do not allocate lockers in the name of minors. Banks act as a kind of lessee for their customers, in which locker service is provided on the basis of annual rent.
From the security point of view, banks assure that the protection of customers’ valuables is much safer than their fees. Let us tell you that they are not responsible for the safety of cash kept in the bank. So keep this in mind while keeping the goods.
