IRDAI Introduces Four-Tier Motor Insurance Structure from December 15, 2026
From December 15, 2026, IRDAI will implement a four-tier motor insurance structure for private cars and two-wheelers, separating coverage into mandatory third-party liability and optional legal liability to occupants, personal accident, and own-damage protection. Insurers must use uniform policy wordings, provide a customer option form, and disclose premiums separately for each cover. Existing policyholders can add occupant liability without canceling policies. The framework aims to enhance transparency and allow vehicle owners to make informed insurance choices, following a Supreme Court directive.
