IRDAI warns against fake Bima Bharosa website, asks policyholders not to share OTP, KYC and banking details online | Mint
IRDAI has warned about a fake website posing as its Bima Bharosa insurance grievance portal. The unauthorised site is igmsirdai.online. Do not register complaints or share OTP, KYC, banking or policy details on it. Always use the official portal bimabharosa.irdai.gov.in. If you have already shared information, take precautions and report to cybercrime authorities. The official portal never asks for payment.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The fake website igmsirdai.online is not an official IRDAI platform.
- IRDAI says Bima Bharosa never asks complainants to pay or scan QR codes for money into their bank accounts.
- If you already shared personal or financial details, report it to cybercrime or law-enforcement authorities.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:Before registering an insurance complaint, verify the website is bimabharosa.irdai.gov.in and never share OTPs, KYC or banking details on any other site. If you already did, report it to cybercrime authorities.
