Containing costs
India's insurance regulator, Irdai, has proposed changes it says will reduce mis-selling. For banks and non-banking finance companies, selling insurance is a high-margin, capital-light income source that uses their branches and customer relationships. If you buy a policy through a bank, these proposals may mean clearer, less pushy selling. Before signing, read the policy details and ask what you are really buying.
