IRDAI Plans Insurance Reforms and Public Insurance Registry Launch by 2028
IRDAI Chairman Ajay Seth outlined plans to reform India's insurance sector, focusing on improving health insurance products, capping commissions, and enhancing digital infrastructure. He highlighted gaps in health insurance for middle-income groups and emphasized the need for better claims management and distribution practices. The regulator aims for an orderly transition to new commission rules to reduce costs and mis-selling, while also targeting a January 2028 beta launch of the Public Insurance Registry to standardize insurance data sharing. Industry feedback is being sought to refine these initiatives.
