IRDAI Links Insurer Executives' Pay to Claim Handling Amid Rising Grievances
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has introduced reforms to improve insurance claim processes amid rising grievances. It mandates that at least 50% of variable pay for key executives in private insurers be linked to customer-centric outcomes like claim responsiveness and grievance redressal. In FY25, over 250,000 insurance complaints were recorded, with nearly 8% of health claims rejected. These measures aim to enhance claim settlement speed, transparency, and customer satisfaction.
