Nonetheless,
after the opening up of the sector and with many new private
players getting into the arena, rebating has become rampant. In
a free market one cannot rule out insurers funding agents to
rebate. And complaints against this practice are pouring into IRDAs
office.
In
a communication to all insurers, IRDA chairman N Rangachary has
asked them to take such actions to put an end to this practice.
IRDA will itself conduct surprise checks on insurers and agents
in this regard and will severely deal with those who rebate
insurance premium.
