  • To ensure fair practices and compliance with regulatory norms.
  • To provide customers with legitimate and professionally managed insurance solutions.

Regulatory Framework:

The process and requirements for obtaining a Corporate Insurance Agent License are governed by the respective insurance regulatory authority in a country. For example:

    • In some regions, certain sectors (e.g., NBFCs or mutual fund companies) are also eligible.

  • Fee Payment:

    • Pay the non-refundable application fee as prescribed by the regulatory authority.
  • Review and Approval:

    • The regulator examines the application, verifies the information, and may conduct an inspection or interview.
    • If all conditions are satisfied, the license is granted.
