IRDAI Expands Scope Of ‘Use And File’ Procedure For Life Insurance Products

The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) introduced modifications to the existing ‘use and file’ procedure for life insurance products.
These changes aim to facilitate the insurance industry in promoting insurance penetration.

Here are the key modifications and their implications for life insurers and policyholders.

Expansion Of Scope :

The circular expands the scope of the ‘use and file’ procedure by including additional categories of life insurance products.

Combi Products:

Combi products refer to insurance products where a life insurer acts as the lead insurer.
Life insurers offering combi products must comply with the extant norms prescribed by IRDAI.

Dispensing With Segregated Fund Identification Number (SFIN) Clearance Process:

The current SFIN clearance process by IRDAI is dispensed with.
This includes complying with all prudential and exposure norms as per Regulation 9 of IRDAI (Investment) Regulations, 2016, as amended from time to time, for each segregated fund and the assets under management (AUMs) of unit-linked insurance plans (Ulips).

Addition Of New Unit Linked Funds:

Once new funds are added to existing or new unit-linked products, they will be treated as existing funds for subsequent unit-linked products.

About IRDAI :

Indian Institute of Toxicology Research developed haemoglobin self test kit

The Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)-Indian Institute of Toxicology Research (IITR) has developed an indigenous innovative rapid haemoglobin detection test kit called ‘SenzHb’.
It is a paper-based kit that gives results in just 30 seconds & costs just Rs 10 for a test.
Similar kits available in the market are expensive, do not give accurate results and are also not ‘Made in India’.

About ‘SenzHb’ :

SenzHb is economical and easy to use as compared to testing facilities available in the market.
This paper-based, colorimetric strip-type sensor from SenzHb addresses these challenges by providing a rapid and reliable haemoglobin assay.
All that has to be done during the test is to prick with the help of the needle that comes with the strip and then drop blood on the strip.
As soon the strip colour changes, match it with the ‘changed colour guidelines’ given along with the kit.
The results can help to know whether he or she is anaemic or not.
“Also, this kit incorporates a QR code that provides detailed instructions for conducting the test in 8 languages.
The QR code also includes a colour chart, further simplifying the interpretation of results,”
It is a point-of-care test (POCT) kit that can be used by healthcare workers, even in the absence of advanced laboratory facilities.
Its simplicity and user-friendly design enables efficient and accurate haemoglobin estimation.
