2 major activities to be done only physically at a Bank Branch

1. Cash Deposit
2. Accessing Lockers.

Accessing Lockers is the only activity which can never be migrated to Online mode!!!

Now, the question is whether RBI will increase the Session timings for RTGS and NEFT on 07/04/2012. Well, by today evening, there should be more clarity on the same.
