The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (“IRDAI”) has introduced an amendment to the IRDAI (Appointed Actuary) Regulations, 2017 (2017 Regulation). It gains immediate effect.

Takeaway from the Amendment:

Regulation inserted Implication
 

Regulation 6 (c)

 

“For business continuance, the insurer may need exemption from Regulation 5 for a further period beyond one year. Upon request of the insurer and based on merits of the case, the Chairperson may grant extension for a further period not exceeding two years.”

 

  • No business can continue if an Actuary has not been appointed for a period exceeding one year as per Regulation 5 of the 2017 Regulation. The Amendment of 2019 allows insurers to make an application/request to the Chairperson of the IRDAI to grant a further extension beyond one year to continue business without an Appointed Actuary.

 

  • The extension obtained can be for a maximum period of two years.
