The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) has suggested changes to the rules governing the distribution and payout of insurance products. The proposed changes aim to incentivize the sale of insurance products in under-served areas by offering additional rewards to distributors. This move is intended to increase insurance penetration in rural and remote regions.
