Banks cannot see or record what valuables customers store in lockers, as it would lead to a breach of banking regulations, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said on Monday, ruling out differential insurance coverage based on contents.
Sitharaman was replying to a supplementary question raised by Congress leader and MP from Gadchiroli Chimur constituency, Namdeo Dasaram Kirsan, in the Lok Sabha during the Question Hour.
