The new rules of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (Irda) take effect from September 1. Ulips, which contributed 80 per cent of the total premium collected by private companies, will see a dramatic change. Irda has capped the difference between net and gross yields during the policy term. Insurers will have to offer a minimum prescribed return even if a policyholder withdraws from the fund before maturity. For the fifth year, the cap is fixed at four per cent.
The Authority is in receipt of complaints from policyholders relating to agency identification and servicing, especially when they have approached insurers directly and are serviced through an agency allotted by the insurer. In particular, there are complaints that there are instances of agency codes that are dummy, with the agent being non-existent.

In this context, it is becoming difficult to verify the genuineness of the placements.
Insurance regulator IRDA has slapped a fine of Rs 20 lakh on Bharti Enterprises promoted life and non-life insurance ventures for not informing changes in ownership pattern. Both Bharti Axa Life Insurance Company and Bharti Axa General Insurance Company has been asked to pay a penalty of Rs 10 lakh each.
