Hi,
Today I went to SBI miyapur (Hyderabad, AndhraPradesh) to get a locker. Branch employees said lockers are available and that I should deposit 2lakh in my account to get the new locker.

Since I have only 1.5L in my account, I requested branch manager to allot a small sized locker with 1.5 lakh deposit. I have account in my home town (Avanigadda, Krishna dist 521120, AndhraPradesh), He asked me about the home branch of my account, He rejected my request saying lockers are not available.

I came out and the bank employees are issuing new lockers to other customers and the employees are still saying lockers are available.

I have few questions.
Does SBI has any standard procedure for allotting the lockers to the customers?
Is it at the sole discretion of the branch manager to allot the lockers?

Thanks,
Sarath.
