The Britishers, from whom we inherited these, have almost done away from such safe deposit lockers from their banks. However, internationally, bank lockers are not in the vogue. Indians love for bank lockers continue as their love for gold. Alternately, you can also look into buying a householder’s policy, in which if you declare jewellery content of the house, the valuables are insured against any kind of loss or damage like theft, loss, fire, accidental damage and so on.

You don’t have to rely on the inbuilt safe deposit box of your steel almirah. And, there was no other options available. One upon a time, getting safe deposit lockers was a valid choice as banks were more guarded than homes.
