Insurers Push for Fair Practices in Auto Industry
The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) may take punitive actions against motor insurance service providers (MISPs) linked to auto manufacturers for high commissions and limited insurer choices for new car buyers. These commissions can reach up to 53%, resulting in expensive premiums for policyholders. Regulatory action could reduce these commissions and provide car buyers with more insurer options, according to insurance officials. This could improve the overall affordability and transparency of motor insurance in India.
