IRDAI Reviews Life Insurance Agents' Demands Amid Proposed Commission Reforms
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) is reviewing key demands from the Life Insurance Agents' Federation of India (LIAFI) amid proposed reforms to insurance distribution commissions. LIAFI opposes commission caps, payout disclosures, and recovery provisions, seeking higher commissions linked to policy terms and renewals. The debate centers on balancing affordability and consumer protection with agents' earnings, as agents play vital roles beyond sales. The regulator's consultation aims to reshape commission structures while maintaining market stability and access.
