Irdai's Proposed Commission Caps Prompt Policybazaar and Banks to Adjust Business Models
PB Fintech, owner of Policybazaar, may need to restructure its insurance distribution business due to the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India's (Irdai) proposed commission caps. CEO Yashish Dahiya highlighted potential impacts on profitability and the need to explore non-insurance revenue streams within regulatory limits. Meanwhile, smaller banks could face significant income losses from these commission caps, especially in bancassurance, as Irdai aims to regulate commissions and bar compulsory insurance purchases with loans.
