The insurance regulator has introduced new regulations on commission payments to intermediaries and expenses of management for general and health insurance companies.
While the Payment of Commission Regulations, 2023, removes previous caps on payments, the Expenses of Management (EOM) Regulations, 2023, allows for additional expenses related to foreign and IFSC branches, Insurtech, and insurance awareness. The new regulations issued by the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) will be effective from April 1.
