A bank locker is the safest place to store valuable items like cash, necessary documents, and Jewellery along with other precious things. The risks and threats of expensive items getting stolen reduce.
Several banks offer locker facilities. It is not that easy to open a bank locker. Before beginning one, you need to do a lot of homework. The bank takes the responsibility of keeping the customer’s assets secure.
The customers have to pay modest charges to the bank. Fees for the bank lockers vary with size. If you have an account with the State Bank of India, it is preferable for you to open a cabinet at your home branch.
Before you open the locker, learn about the SBI Locker charges.

SBI locker size and charges bataye
Is there any fewer charges for a locker for an ex-defence personal account.
I had a locker in Kovipudur Coimbatore (SBI) and I recently closed it. But they refuse to refund rent for the availed period; I paid rent in advance for the full year and after 3 months I closed it. I requested them to pay the proportionate rent on my locker for unavailed period of 9 months. please clarify and let me to whom the problem can be addressed.
SBI, Kanjikuzhy, Kottayam is a semi-urban branch. But the branch is charging urban branch rental rates for its lockers. Please check.
