5 Unknown Facts about Bank Lockers

bank locker

Bank locker is just like your saving bank account. In saving bank account we place money while in locker we can keep our valuable item such as jewelry, property paper and important document such as will etc. Item which we feel should not be kept at home we place it in bank lockers.

Today we will discuss about 5 often ignored unknown facts about bank lockers.

5 Unknown Facts about Bank Lockers:-

(1)  I need to open Fixed Deposit or need to purchase Insurance policy to open Locker?

Many of us think that in order to open locker we need to take fixed deposit or need to purchase Insurance policy from bank. As per RBI guideline linking the lockers facility with placement of fixed or any other deposit beyond rent is restrictive practice and should not be allowed.

If any bank refuse to allocate locker or insist for taking fixed deposit of Insurance policy you can show them RBI Guideline for allocation of locker. Or alternatively you can tell them that you will file RTI to get actual information about availability of locker and policy of allocation.

(2)  I need to open saving bank account for getting Locker?

No it is not mandatory that you must hold or need to open saving bank account for getting locker. All you need is you need to assure bank that you are capable of paying rent for locker.

(3)  Bank Lockers are totally Safe & Secure?

Third thing which you may be news to many, and a shocker, but in truth. Belonging kept in Bank locker is not totally safe and secure.

RBI rule says that banks are, in no way, responsible or liable for the contents kept in the locker, even in the case of theft, burglary or unforeseen events which is beyond the control of banks.

However RBI mandates bank to have best security arrangement for lockers to safeguard customers’ interests.

(4)  How much compensation I will get in case something get missed from my locker?

As stated earlier banks are not responsible or liable for the content kept in locker. Even in case of natural disaster like earth quack, flood or terrorist attack where you locker contents are lost or destroyed bank is not liable to compensate anything as they have no knowledge of what is placed inside locker.

You can purchase some policies available in market to insure your jewelry and other belonging stores in lockers.

(5)  Bank cannot operate locker without your permission?

Bank Locker should be operated by you time to time at least once in year, this frequency is decided based on your RISK profile (KYC). If you fails to operate your locker in time bank will send you reminder asking for reasons/explanation. If you still don’t take actions bank has all rights to break your locker although you are paying rent regularly.

top mutual funds

Do you invest your money in mutual funds? If yes what is maximum return you expect from mutual funds? 12%, 15% or 20% but what if mutual funds give returns of 40% or more?  At first instance you may say that are you joking!

Well No, today I will share information about 15 Mutual funds that have already given return of 45%+ in last year.

15 Top Mutual Funds

Sector Funds:-

Among top mutual funds UTI Transport &Logistics -Direct (G) sector based fund is ruling chart today with 65.8% yearly return, similarly another sector fund ICICI Pru Technology – Direct (G) is also ruling chart with 56.5% return.

sector mutual funds

You must be thinking what kind of magic is done by fund manager so that these funds are giving humongous return. Well from my point of view nothing. In past sector based stock related to IT and transport has performed well so these mutual funds are giving good return.

Although these sector funds are giving best return it is risky to invest in sector fund as investment in sector fund means investment in specific sector if that sector does not perform better you are gone.

Diversified Funds:-

Another types of funds which has given more than 45% return in last year in diversified funds.

ICICI Pru Exp & Other Services-DP (G) fund has given return of 51.1% and ICICI Pru Exp &Other Services-RP (G) fund has given  52.1% return.

Small Cap and Mid Cap Funds:-

Among the best performing small and mid-cap stock mutual funds, Reliance Small Cap Fund, rules the chart with a 48.8% annual return. Other funds which gave best return in last year are UTI Mid-Cap fund 47% annual return, Franklin (I) Smaller Co -Direct (G) 44.9%, Birla SL Pure Value – Direct (G) 44.2%, SBI Midcap Fund – Direct (G) 43.9% & HSBC Small Cap Fund – Direct (G) 41.6% return.

midcap_mutualfunds

From above list we can say that Small Cap and Mid Cap funds are star performer and total 8 funds among 15 funds are from small cap and mid cap.

As so many funds have together achieved such high returns, we carry out study to know is there some pattern in which the investments have been made by these funds.

Surprisingly, a close study of the portfolios does not reveal any apparent pattern.  Credit goes to fund manager who has selected best small cap and mid cap stocks which gave best returns.

What is your take on these mutual funds and returns?
