Locker Agreement: The Reserve Bank of India ordered in 2021 that a new rental agreement should be obtained from the beneficiaries using locker services. The Reserve Bank took this step considering customer complaints, technical aspects, and Supreme Court guidelines.

Extension of deadline: The objective of the locker renewal agreement is to improve transparency and security regarding the operation of the locker service. The deadline for this was extended twice. However, 20 percent of locker beneficiaries have not yet signed the renewed agreement.

Bank Reminder: In this situation, banks have requested the Reserve Bank to extend the contract renewal period till the end of this year. They are also issuing reminders to the beneficiaries. Those who have not signed the renewed contract have also requested the Reserve Bank to disable the locker service.

New Contract: The renewed locker contract has many favorable features for the beneficiaries. It is also designed to clarify the responsibilities of the banks and the beneficiaries. Many aspects related to compensation have been clarified. A transparent waiting list is also necessary.

Continuous Service: To use the locker service without any interruption, it is necessary to sign the renewed contract. The contract details should be read and understood in full. You can approach the bank branch in this regard; beneficiaries can also consider getting locker insurance as per their needs.
