IRDAI Mandates Four-Tier Motor Insurance Structure from December 15
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) will implement a mandatory four-tier motor insurance structure for private cars and two-wheelers from December 15. The structure includes mandatory third-party liability and personal accident cover for owners, with optional covers for legal liability towards occupants and pillion riders, personal accident cover for occupants, and own damage protection. Insurers must provide uniform policy wordings, a customer option form, and disclose premiums separately for each cover, following a Supreme Court directive to enhance transparency and informed choice.
