I operate my locker independently. It is in joint names but I go alone to the locker facility then I ask for my locker to be opened. I give my locker number. The bank officer writes the information in the register and then he takes his own key. We walk together to my locker. He inserts his key and leaves and then I insert my key and open it and do whatever I want and then I close it. Then I call for the officer he checks the locker and then we leave. I sign the register and then the security guard escorts me to the entrance of the facility and I am out on the road. I have written this in detail so that there should not be any question of how we will manage. Its been nearly 5 years since I have been operating this locker. However I must say that I haven’t applied for this locker. It is held by my family jointly. Kanchan
