Supreme Court Orders States to Form SITs to Investigate Insurance Fraud
The Supreme Court has directed all states to establish Special Investigation Teams (SITs) to investigate suspected fraudulent insurance claims involving repeated use of the same vehicle in multiple accidents. The court highlighted the widespread nature of such fraud, which strains insurance companies and may increase premiums for genuine customers. States must allocate adequate personnel to SITs and ensure all suspicious claims are forwarded without selective filtering. The court also expressed concern over private access to sensitive EPFO and income tax data, urging the Centre to implement safeguards.
