Charges vary from bank to bank. Mostly all banks ask for a security deposit in the form of a Fixed Deposit (FD) of a certain minimum amount.

Who can open a bank locker?


Only the bank hirer has a right to operate the locker. The hirer could be a sole operator or joint operator. In case the operator is single and he/she dies, then the nominee (as mentioned in the form or locker letting agreement) has the right to open the locker and take the valuables kept in it. If the nominee is minor, then his/ her guardian has the right to open the locker. A minor can only be a nominee and has no right to open a locker either solely or jointly.
