✴️ ICICI Securities partners with CoverStack to offer insurance 🤝
- As per a circular dated 31st March 2022, IRDAI has extended the timeline of not requiring physical signatures on life insurance proposal forms and allowing OTP-based validation until September 30, 2022.
- For health insurance policies too, the timelines for dispensing with the physical papers and wet signatures on the proposal form have been extended till September 30, 2022.
- The pandemic restrictions had made it difficult for people to buy new insurance coverage and hence, IRDAI had permitted insurers to obtain policyholder agreement via digital means.
- This exemption was originally valid until March 31, 2021, however, IRDAI extended it until September 30, 2021, because of the second wave of the pandemic.
- Since many parts of the country are still affected by Covid-19, the exemption has been extended from March 31, 2022, to September 30, 2022.
