Debashish Panda, chairman of the IRDAI, says that high operating and distribution costs, as well as hospital expenses, may be affecting insurance pricing.

IRDAI is planning to make KYC mandatory for general insurance companies.
The KYC documents are currently not mandatory while purchasing a non-life policy, but it is mandatory at the time of claims, particularly for claims worth 1 Lakh and beyond.
Insurance experts believe that making KYC mandatory will help them in building a detailed database of the customers, which will be of great help at the time of claim settlement.
While IRDAI plans to make it mandatory from the 1st of November, the non-life industry has requested an extension for its implementation.
