Insurance Broker License

Advisory and support for an IRDAI insurance broker licence.

Overview

What an insurance broker licence is

An insurance broker arranges insurance for clients across insurers, and must be licensed by IRDAI under the Insurance Brokers Regulations — as a direct, reinsurance, or composite broker — meeting the prescribed capital, qualification, and infrastructure requirements.

This is a specialised, sector-specific licence. The firm advises on the category, capital, and process and coordinates the application with insurance-sector specialists; it will confirm scope before taking it on.
