If you go to any bank be it a psu or private bank . if they sense you are not going to give them business like ULIP or large FD or life insurance , they will simply say NO LOCKER AVAILABLE SIR .

I enquired about 10-15 banks in locality . if I ask them my waiting list number , they will say “ there is no such thing sir” .

since they are showing no locker availability we can not complain to higher officer or RBI .

my query is how can we know actual number of vacant lockers in a bank . they are not bound to disclose it though .

Yes I have imperia account with HDFC since 10 year but it’s a different city . One nearest branch verbally asked me to start a ULIP so that we will get approval from HDFC to allocate you a locker . Or a 50L FD minimum .

So I decided to go through imperia banking contact team route with another HDFC branch. seeing the enquiry coming from imperia banking . The operational head call me and did not directly mention about plans and all , he simply say no locker available at this moment but refused to confirm it over email . At the end of call he say come to branch someday we will see how can you get one quickly .

That. Means he is also indirectly asking me for a ULIP or Insurance products .

Seems they got to know, they can get Good business from you, hence getting greedy.
If you can be little strict, HDFC will do the Job, without moving anywhere.
