IRDAI Introduces Four-Tier Motor Insurance Structure Effective December 15, 2026
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) will implement a four-tier motor insurance structure for private cars and two-wheelers starting December 15, 2026. This framework mandates third-party liability and personal accident cover for the owner, while legal liability to occupants and own-damage protection will be optional. Insurers must provide uniform policy wording, a mandatory customer option form, and disclose premiums separately for each cover to enhance transparency and allow vehicle owners to make informed choices.
