IRDAI is moving towards adopting Ind AS to standardize financial reporting across insurers. The framework aims to improve transparency, comparability, and global alignment.
IRDAI constituted a Joint Expert Group to tackle transition and implementation issues under Ind AS. The group will guide insurers on compliance, audit requirements, and financial reporting clarity.
Stakeholders sought deferment or phased implementation of Ind AS. IRDAI mandated adoption from April 2026 with limited forbearance. The key takeaway is firm timelines with transitional relief.
The issue was lack of uniformity in financial reporting across insurers. IRDAI mandated Ind AS-based reporting to enhance comparability and transparency. The key takeaway is adoption of globally aligned accounting standards.
The regulation introduces mandatory adoption of Ind AS for insurers, setting standardized formats, disclosures, and governance norms to ensure transparency and accuracy in financial reporting.
Cyber insurance helps cover financial losses from cyberattacks like hacking and data breaches. It is becoming essential as digital risks increase across industries.
IRDAI launched five working groups to resolve operational inefficiencies between insurers and hospitals. The move aims to boost transparency, coordination, and patient-centric reforms across the ecosystem.
The restoration feature ensures that insurance coverage can be reinstated after a major claim, helping maintain protection for other family members during the same policy year.
The insurance regulator clarified that certificates of registration for intermediaries will now remain valid indefinitely. The change eliminates the earlier three-year renewal framework, subject to payment of an annual fee.
Third-party motor insurance pays compensation for injury or property damage to others caused by your vehicle. However, it does not cover damage to the insured car or the driver’s own losses.
