Public insurance registry explained: What policyholders need to know | Mint
A public insurance registry is being planned as digital infrastructure for insurance. With your consent, it would show all your policies in one place. This makes health insurance portability easier and allows product comparison. It could help families find unclaimed policies after death. Challenges remain with old data and consent. Watch for updates if you hold multiple insurance policies.
Key Statutory Highlights
- The public insurance registry would give policyholders a consent-based, unified view of their insurance policies across insurers.
- It could help nominees and family members discover unknown policies and unclaimed insurance money after a death claim.
- Challenges include converting legacy data into common standards and ensuring consent is specific, auditable and revocable.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:No immediate action needed — the registry is still being planned. In the meantime, keep your policy documents and nominee details updated with each insurer.
