India's Insurance Reforms Focus on Accountability and Incentive Alignment
India's insurance sector is undergoing reforms focused on improving accountability and reducing mis-selling. The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) proposes a public register to trace policies to individual sellers, aiming to link commissions to advice quality rather than sales volume. While commission caps were removed in 2023, evidence shows they previously led to disguised excess payments. Experts suggest transparency, staggered payouts, and disclosure may better address mis-selling than reinstating caps.
