Insurance distribution at crossroads as IRDAI moves to rein in costs - CNBC TV18
India's insurance regulator (IRDAI) is moving to rein in distribution costs. Distributors may not like tighter limits that link their pay more closely to effort and risk, rather than negotiating power. Policyholders could gain from lower embedded costs and sales driven by quality instead of payout size. If you're buying a policy, ask your agent how they are paid.
