DPIIT notifies 100% FDI in insurance intermediaries

26 Feb 2020 Evaluate

In an effort towards making India a more attractive foreign direct investment (FDI) destination, the Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade (DPIIT) has notified the government's decision to allow 100 per cent FDI in insurance intermediaries.

Intermediary services include insurance brokers, re-insurance brokers, insurance consultants, corporate agents, third party administrators, surveyors and loss assessors. The FDI policy earlier allowed 49 per cent foreign investment in the insurance sector, which includes insurance intermediaries. As per the notification, 100 per cent FDI is allowed in insurance intermediaries under automatic approval route.

It also said that insurance intermediary that has majority shareholding of foreign investors shall undertake measures including incorporation as a limited company under the provisions of the Companies Act 2013; at least one from among the chairman of the board of directors or the CEO or principal officer or MD of the company shall be a resident Indian citizen, shall take permission of the IRDA for repatriating dividend, and shall not make payments to the foreign group or promoter or associate entities beyond what is necessary or permitted.
