Bank locker risks: How to protect your valuables and avoid financial losses

Business Standard reported a consumer commission ruling against Union Bank in a case about a bank locker, and used it to list ways customers can protect valuables kept in lockers: proper documentation, surrender acknowledgements, insurance and timely complaints. A bank locker is a small safe that a bank rents to a customer to keep jewellery or documents; the bank does not own what is inside. A consumer commission is a quasi-judicial body that hears complaints by customers against businesses. The report does not give the amount involved, the date of the ruling or the names of the parties. It also does not say what the commission ordered Union Bank to do. The headline carries no figures, so the details of the case are not known from this report.
