When and how to use this letter
Surrendering a locker is done in person — you must be present to open the locker, remove all contents, and hand over the key. Clear any unpaid rent before your visit, because the bank will not process a surrender with dues outstanding. Bring your ID proof and the locker key.
Empty the locker completely in the bank officer's presence and have them confirm it in writing. Return the key and collect a receipt. If you paid a key deposit when the locker was allotted, ask for its refund at the same time and get a written acknowledgment of the refund.
Check your linked account afterward to confirm no further locker rent is deducted. If the bank uses auto-debit for rent, confirm the standing instruction is cancelled. Think carefully before surrendering — waiting lists for lockers are long, and getting one back later is not guaranteed. If you may need it again within a year, keeping it is usually the wiser choice.
Before your visit, make an inventory of everything stored in the locker so nothing is left behind in the handover rush. If the locker is jointly held, all holders must be present or must authorize the surrender in writing. After surrender, store your valuables' new location details securely and update your home insurance if the policy referenced the bank locker.
