  • Locker Rent

Axis Bank locker charges are taken in advance by the bank. You must have an active account in Axis Bank to hold a locker.

  • Term-Deposit

Axis Bank will take a term deposit from you. The term deposit will include three years of rent and locker break-open charges. This will be a security deposit, and a new account will be opened in the branch.

  • Locker Access

You can access your locker only during banking hours. To ensure the privacy of the customer, Axis Bank allows only one person at a time in the locker room. To open your locker, you have to provide either biometric or physical authentication to the bank officials.

  • Locker Surrender

To surrender your locker, first, you have to submit a written application to the branch. After verifying the details, they will allow you to close your locker. Before surrendering, you need to hand over the physical key of the locker, and it should be empty. Any rent paid in advance will be refunded to the account of the hirer. 

  • Break-open of Locker

Even if you are paying Axis Bank locker charges, the bank has the right to break your locker under these circumstances:

  • If your locker rent is pending for three years in a row, Axis Bank will break the locker and they can sell the items or assets to recover the rent.
  • In case a locker has been inoperative for seven years in a row and the bank can not locate the hirer, Axis Bank can break your locker. After that, the documents or assets will be transferred to the legal heir or nominees.
  • If you have lost the keys, the bank will break your locker and replace the key upon your request. However, the key replacement charges should be paid by you. The replacement process will be completed by an authorised technician in the presence of a bank official. 
  • If any law enforcement agency asks the bank to seize your locker, the bank will send you an official notice via email and physical letter and they can break your locker.
  • Axis Bank can break your locker if you do not cooperate with them by following all the terms and conditions of the locker application.

Note- Before breaking your locker in case of outstanding or incorporation of the locker, Axis Bank will send you a prior notification via written communication. If the letter is returned or undelivered, Axis will issue a public notice of the customer's location in two leading local newspapers. One notice will be published in an English newspaper and the other one will be published in the local language. You will get a reasonable amount of time to take further action.
