harnoor Can i lock it now ?

Should be able to lock still, but data will be wiped so you'll need to have stuff backed up.

Note to people reading: please complete the installation fully.

harnoor web installer says that bootlock triggered successfully

There is no such message in the web installer.

harnoor no data was lost

So you didn't lock the bootloader. The web installer can't do it for you.

harnoor banking app still detects bootloader unlocked

There is no guarantee it will work even with a locked bootloader. Run a search here with your app name.

harnoor then how do i do it

The final step of the web installer locks the bootloader. It absolutely can do it.

Are you positive it was unlocked in the first place? Just because a banking app says it's unlocked doesn't mean it is. Reboot into recovery mode and there will be a message stating the status of your bootloader, if I'm not mistaken.
