PB Fintech Shares Plunge Over 30% Amid IRDAI Commission Cap Proposal
On September 24, PB Fintech shares plunged over 30% following the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India's (IRDAI) draft proposal to cap commissions for insurance distributors based on product complexity and sales effort. This regulatory move also affected other insurance and financial stocks, leading to broader market declines. Brokerages downgraded PB Fintech's earnings outlook, citing significant near-term challenges. Despite the sell-off, some investors and experts see value in insurance stocks and the National Stock Exchange amid regulatory adjustments. PB Fintech management anticipates a volatile transition year with recovery targeted by FY29.
