New Delhi: There are few people in the world who do not use bank lockers to keep their valuable things, except of course those who want to hide their precious items for some reason or keep those things with them as cherished treasures.
People from various strata of society use bank lockers to keep their valuable items and belongings safe and secure. The banks give enhanced security like alarms, round-the-clock surveillance cameras, restricted areas, and more to reduce the risk of damage and theft. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has laid down certain rules for the usage of bank lockers.
The relationship between the bank and the person who hires a locker in the bank is of lessor and lessee; which means that a person hiring a locker is charged an annual locker fee for holding the locker with the bank.
