Yes, logical.

But in one of the banks, when my brother opened locker, in financle system it was selected 0 rent. So that means remains permanent right?
Locker rent is a significant point in Concurrent and Internal Audits. If he wasn't eligible and they catch it at one point or another, they will quite likely have it corrected and maybe collect past dues.

How did you know what was selected in their CBS anyways?

He was sitting next to them when they were filling details 🙂
 
I have:
Free Large size locker with HDFC Imperia account
Free Large size locker with Yes Private account
Free Medium size locker with IndusInd Pioneer account

You are right, getting a locker of your choice (size & location) is very difficult.

At Yes Bank, my RM was completely useless inspite of being a "Senior Vice President and Partner", whatever that means. I had to personally visit 3-4 nearby branches and talk to the BMs. All of them outrightly denied availability of lockers. Most of them were also not aware what a Yes Private account is. I had to write to their grievance redressal team and was finally able to get a large size locker at my preferred branch after multiple emails, calls and threats of complaining to the ombudsman. However, it was all worth it when I walked in and saw the embarrassed face of the same BM who had laughed at my request for a locker and had said "400 se upar waitlist chal rahi hai, 5 saal mein bhi aapka number nahi aayega"

Same story with HDFC bank. They were offering small lockers only. I had to personally find and get someone from their Private Banking team involved. Only then was I given a large locker.

Everything went smoothly at IndusInd Bank though. But that happened only because I negotiated for a locker before opening my savings account with them. The BM offered two free medium sized lockers to me and my wife. He requested for an initial cheque of 10L each, which I obliged.
Hey pride, are you actually maintaining 10L AMB in both HDFC Imperia & IDFC Wealth. Do you feel that if you don't maintain the AMB & not take the locker they might not bother, but if you take free locker they will downgrade account? Thoughts.

I have wealth account and I requested for locker facility. But the bankers are saying lockers are not available and occupied already. I checked with couple of branches but still the same. However, just recently one RM reached out to me saying if I open any investment plan then they will give locker. He said 2-3 lockers are available but given on priority basis. We can increase priority based on investment. This is disgusting.
 
Lockers (safe deposit lockers) are the most sought after product. Demand always 10x to 20x of the available locker units - despite many private banks n even private security firms entering this segment. Lockers come in various sizes n hiring rates depend upon the type of branch. Usually, these are given against large to huge deposits. Whoever gets a locker prefers NOT to surrender it for many years (or even decades) - by maintaining the needed deposits.

So, if you need a locker look for a NEWLY to be OPENED BRANCH or a just opened branch n be prepared to open a few high value fixed deposits.
