Its main objective is safeguarding policyholders’ interests and ensuring the insurance industry’s growth and stability. IRDAI has set various rules and regulations for the operation of insurance industry. It regularly issues notices to insurance companies if there are any changes in rules and regulations. It leads the insurance companies to foster efficiency in the conduct of the insurance business and control the rates or any other insurance related charges.

Function of IRDAI:

2. Establish rules and regulations to take care of the interests of the policyholders.
3. Monitor claim settlements fairly and ensure that no claim is denied by the insurance company of their free will.
4. Regulate the code of conduct of the insurance company and those associated with the insurance industry.
