Irdai Proposes Commission Caps, Expense Limits, and Website Transparency Reforms
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (Irdai) has proposed comprehensive reforms to insurance distribution, including caps on commissions based on product type and distribution channels, and a phased reduction in Expense of Management (EoM) limits for life and general insurers. The reforms aim to enhance transparency, reduce costs, and improve customer experience by banning 'dark patterns' on insurance websites. Irdai seeks public feedback on these proposals by October 25 to refine the regulatory framework.
