The State Bank of India or SBI has revised its guidelines and charges for locker holders. The bank has notified the customers to visit the branch to sign a new locker agreement and confirm the new terms and conditions. This is being done by SBI to comply with the order passed by RBI or The Reserve Bank of India.
“Bank has issued a revised/supplemental locker agreement incorporating the customer’s rights. Customers availing locker facilities from SBI are requested to contact their locker holding branch and execute the revised/ supplement locker agreement as applicable,” tweeted SBI with its official account.
