Approved Public/Private Insurance Companies

 

                        The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority (IRDA) has informed that in India, foreign companies can only form joint ventures with Indian companies. The list of the approved private life insurance companies operating in India and details of their joint venture partners company-wise, year-wise and State-wise details of registered office are enclosed in Annexure I.

 

                        The number of policyholders’ complaints received against private life insurance companies for the financial year 2011-12 are placed at Annexure II.

 

                        IRDA has further informed that they have a centralized system- the Integrated Grievance Management System (IGMS) which creates the Central repository of complaints of policy holders against all insurance companies. Action, including imposition of penalties and warnings, is taken against the companies where deemed necessary.

 

                        This was stated by the Minister of State for Finance, Shri Namo Narain Meena in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
