IRDAI Reviews Feedback on Insurance Commission Caps, May Extend Consultation Period
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) is reviewing industry feedback on proposed caps for insurance commissions and distribution expenses, with a consultation period open until October 25. Chairman Ajay Seth indicated a possible transition period for implementing these reforms, emphasizing alignment of costs with policyholder value and rewarding policy persistency. The regulator faces concerns from insurers and banks about commission limits and bancassurance norms, potentially delaying the feedback deadline and implementation timeline to ensure wider consensus and maintain commercial viability.
