Bank Locker Holders Alert: Bank Locker Could Be Sealed If You Miss THIS Agreement Deadline– Details Here
New Delhi: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) has introduced new rules that require all locker holders to sign an updated rental agreement with their bank. Failing to do so may lead to your locker being sealed. Banks have also stepped up security measures to protect locker contents but it's equally important for customers to stay compliant with the latest regulations. The RBI, back in August 2021 has directed all banks to sign updated rental agreements with their existing locker holders. This move came after several customer complaints, technical changes, and instructions from the Supreme Court. The goal is to improve transparency and strengthen the security of locker services provided by banks. What happens if you don't sign the updated locker agreement? If you haven't signed the revised locker agreement, your bank locker could be sealed. Banks are now seeking permission from the RBI and the government to send final reminders to customers who haven't complied, and may go ahead with sealing lockers if necessary. So, it's best to act soon to avoid losing access to your locker. Banks Request More Time to Meet Locker Agreement Deadline To ensure all customers get enough time, banks have asked the RBI to extend the current deadline from March 2024 to December 2025. Originally, the RBI had set January 1, 2023, as the deadline for banks to sign new locker agreements with customers. However, due to delays—mainly from lack of awareness and incomplete paperwork—the deadline was extended twice already, first to December 2023 and then to March 2024. Even after multiple deadline extensions, many customers still haven't signed the updated locker agreement. Not Sure If You've Signed the New Locker Agreement? Here's What to Do If you haven't signed the new agreement yet, make sure to visit your bank and complete the process. If you're unsure whether you've already signed it, simply check with your bank branch—they'll let you know if anything is pending. It's better to confirm now than face issues later. Documents Required for Signing the New Bank Locker Agreement: - PAN card - Aadhaar card - Passport (as an additional ID proof, if needed) - Old locker agreement/documents (related to your existing locker) - Nominee details – Add a nominee if you haven't already

What new Registration Bill says, why it was introduced
The Ministry of Rural Development (MoRD) has invited suggestions on the new draft Registration Bill 2025, which seeks to replace the 117-year-old Registration Act of 1908. The Bill, the MoRD says, will digitise the registration of property documents, enhance transparency, and maintain digital records. Can it deliver? The Registration Bill, 2025 was introduced to establish a modern framework for registration of land documents, and a more citizen-centric approach. Some key features include: Online/offline registration: End-to-end registrations, from the presentation of documents to their submission, can either be done at the office of the Sub-Registrar or via electronic means. Identity verifications will be carried out via Aadhaar or through an offline verification process (Section 29 (3)). No person can be denied registration of their documents if they do not possess an Aadhaar number (Section 29 (4)). Expanded list of compulsory docs: The Bill expands the list of compulsory registration of documents under Section 12 with the inclusion of agreement of sale, power of attorneys (POAs), sale agreements, mortgage by deposit of title deed, and merger and demerger of companies under the Companies Act, 2013 (Section 12(f-j)). The Bill also provides for simplified optional registration under Section 13 that Section 12 does not cover but fails to specify which documents come under this category, leaving it to wide interpretation. Introducing new positions: In addition to the post of Inspector General of Registration, the Bill introduces Additional and Assistant Inspector Generals of Registration. Section 4(5) states: 'The appropriate government may prescribe the terms and conditions of service, and the duties of the officers appointed under sub-section (4) and authorise them to exercise all or any powers and duties of the Inspector General of Registration.' Reasons for refusal/cancellation: Section 58 of the Bill lists the reasons upon which a document may be refused for registration, including documents submitted without true translation, erasure of content from the documents, documents submitted after the prescribed period of four-months (this is not applicable on wills), or if the person concerned is a minor, mentally incapable or deceased. Section 64(3) states that the Inspector General of the Registration is vested with the power to cancel any registration that appears to be made based on false information, in breach of the provisions of the Act, or if the document was made on a transaction that was found to be conducted against the law. Such reasons must be recorded in writing before passing an order. An appeal can be filed against such an order within 30 days. Reduced imprisonment: The penalties prescribed in the current Act are seven years imprisonment with a fine or both, whereas the new draft bill reduces the imprisonment to three years, along with a fine, or in some cases, both. Why did the current Act need reform? The pre-Independence Registration Act, 1908 provided for registration of various property-related documents. Citizens needed to visit the registration office and submit documents to the Sub-Registrar for the registration process. These documents were required to be presented by persons themselves or their appointed agents. With growing technological advancements and hassle-free methods, 'several states and union territories have already introduced innovations such as online document submission and digital identity verification under the existing 1908 Act,' the MoRD says. As the role of the registered documents increased in both public and private transactions, parallel systems had to be designed to sustain the growing demands. This necessitated an updation of the Act itself — which the Registration Bill 2025 seeks to do. What are some concerns surrounding the Bill? The Bill aims to digitise processes of registration, reduce the risk of title fraud, improve approval rates, and reduce disputes. However, with the maintenance of digital records, important information with regards to e-signatures will be maintained in a digital archive, which may require more robust cybersecurity systems. The Bill may also delegate the registration functions to the Common Services Centres (CSCs). Allowing CSCs to facilitate processes that involve valuation of stamp duty, transfer of title, etc, processes that require legal implications, may create procedural gaps. The portal for suggestions on the draft Bill remains open until June 25.
