Ulips: How IRDA is passing the buck

Ulips: How IRDA is passing the buck

Has the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India finally woken up to all the mis-selling that is happening? Well, it would like us to believe it has. But the truth of the matter is that it hasn't.

IRDA has thought of a new way to prevent the mis-selling of Unit Linked Insurance Plans (Ulips).

From now on, individuals investing in a Ulip, will have to sign a one-page document. This document will say that the individual is satisfied with what the agent has communicated and that buying the Ulip has been an informed choice.
