What RBI Is Hinting At
In its Financial Stability Report, the Reserve Bank of India flags subtle but important trends in insurance.
Early exits rising: More policy surrenders, fewer maturity payouts. Insurance money is turning short-term.
Private insurers paying more commissions: Growth is being “bought”, risking profitability.
Higher premiums, same reach: People pay more, but new buyers aren’t increasing much.
Reinsurance dependence: India still relies heavily on foreign reinsurers due to limited domestic capacity.
GST relief matters: Lower GST on life & health insurance may boost long-term domestic capital.
This isn’t a crisis yet. But it’s a slow shift in how insurance behaves.
