IRDAI Reviews LIC Agents' Demands Amid Opposition to Insurance Distribution Reforms
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) is reviewing seven demands from the Life Insurance Agents' Federation of India (LIAFI), which opposes key aspects of proposed insurance distribution reforms. The federation objects to commission limits, public disclosure of agent payouts, and commission recovery for mis-selling, seeking higher commissions amid concerns over modest earnings. While IRDAI will consider feedback, it is unlikely to change the overall reform direction but may adjust specific provisions before finalizing guidelines.
