Policy Shift: The Finance Ministry notified amendments allowing 100% Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) via the automatic route for insurance entities.
Expanded Scope: This includes brokers, consultants, third-party administrators (TPAs), and loss assessors, aiming to bring global capital and expertise.
Safeguards: Companies must have a resident Indian Chairperson, MD, or CEO. All investments remain subject to IRDAI verification and Insurance Act compliance.
LIC Exception: Notably, the FDI cap for the Life Insurance Corporation (LIC) remains fixed at 20% due to its strategic public importance.
