The Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI) on July 02, 2026, notified regarding the Extension of Transitional Arrangements for the payment of the annual fee and the issuance of the Certificate of Registration.
The following has been stated:
• IRDAI, through its circular, has extended the transitional arrangements for payment of annual fee and issuance of Certificate of Registration for intermediaries, surveyors, and loss assessors beyond the earlier deadline of June 30, 2026. These arrangements were originally issued under circulars dated March 16, 2026, and April 07, 2026, in view of pending amendments to the Insurance Regulations under the Insurance Act, 1938 (as amended by the Sabka Bima Sabki Raksha Amendment Act, 2025).
• The Authority has now decided that these transitional provisions will continue to remain in force until the notification of the amended regulations or up to August 31, 2026, whichever is earlier. Accordingly, the timelines mentioned in the earlier circulars for payment of annual fees and related certification processes stand extended on the same terms. All other provisions of the earlier circulars remain unchanged and continue to apply as issued.
