In case of theft, fraud, fire or building collapse, the liability of the banks will be up to 100 times of the annual rent of the locker. Apart from this, the bank will have to take all necessary steps for the safety of the locker.

Along with this, it is now necessary to monitor the people coming and going in the locker room through CCTV. Apart from this, the data of CCTV footage will have to be stored for 180 days. If in any event it is proved that the loss of the contents of the locker is due to the connivance of the bank staff or due to negligence in the security arrangement, then the bank will be held responsible for the same and will have to compensate it.
