WHAT IS E-INSURANCE?

Sequence

Answer

WHAT DO WE MEAN BY E-INSURANCE?

e-Insurance is the insurance equivalent of a demat account with an insurance repository. It offers a reliable facility to keep all your insurance policies in an electronic/ dematerialised form. It is a single platform that lets you make changes in the insurance policy with utmost convenience. All you need to do is to open one e-Insurance Account and tag all your insurance policies to this account.

An e-Insurance Account is free, simple to open and operate, highly secure and available online. You can manage all your life insurance policies of all the insurers under a single e-Insurance Account. This in turn helps you track and maintain your insurance portfolio in real-time.

You can do away with KYC norms (like address and identity proof) for every purchase with an e-Insurance Account.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF AN E-INSURANCE ACCOUNT?

Safety: The electronic form ensures that the policies are in safe custody, as there is no risk or loss associated with an e-Insurance Account.
Convenience: All insurance policies can be electronically filed under a single e-Insurance Account. A copy of the policy can be downloaded also the details of any of the policies can be accessed at any time by logging on to the online portal of the Insurance Repository.
Single Point of Service: A single request can cater to policies across different insurers. Service requests can be submitted at any of Insurance Repository's service points. For instance, a single change of address request made to the Insurance Repository can update the policies issued by multiple insurers. You won’t have to visit several offices of individual insurers for the service request.
Save time and Go Green: You don’t have to keep submitting KYC details each time a new policy is taken. Since all your transactions are paperless, you also contribute to the environment.
Statement of Account: At least once every year, the Insurance Repository will send a statement of account with the details of all your policies.
Single View: Single view of all the policies will be made available to an authorised person in case of death of the e-Insurance account holder.

Question

What is an eIA and What are the benefits?

Sequence

Answer

eIA stands for ‘e-Insurance Account’ or ‘Electronic Insurance Account.’ Just like certificates of securities such as shares, bonds and mutual funds can be created in the electronic form and stored in one’s Demat account, one can store insurance policies electronically and keep them in one’s e‐Insurance Account (eIA) with an insurance repository.

Why should I open an eIA (e-Insurance Account)?

You should open an eIA as it provides you with an easy, safe and paperless way to store your insurance policies electronically at no extra cost. With an eIA, you would not be required to go through the KYC procedure every time you buy an insurance policy. The insurance repository will give you a unique eIA account number under which all your policies would be stored including life, health, motor and group covers.

What are the charges for opening an eIA?

Opening an eIA is free. You need not pay anyone who is associated with the Insurance Repository.

Can an individual / policyholder open more than one e-Insurance Account?

NO. An individual / policyholder can have only one eIA with an Insurance Repository. You cannot open more than one eIA account with different Insurance Repositories. Once you open an eIA, your details would be shared centrally across all IRs.

Can I open an eIA account without having a policy?

Yes, you can open an eIA account without having any insurance policy

How many days it takes to open an eIA account after all the necessary formalities have been completed?

Also, welcome kit including eIA brochure, login id and password (if not set online) will be couriered to your correspondence address. You can activate your e-Insurance Account using these details.

Who is an Authorised Representative?

An Authorised Representative is a person appointed by you (the policyholder) at the time of an eIA opening. This individual will operate the eIA account in case of your unfortunate demise or incapability. He will intimate the Insurance Repository about your demise with valid proof of death and submit a request to cease your account after settlement of claim if any.

What details I can find in my e-Insurance Account?

The insurance repository will give you a unique account number. It will include all types of policies i.e. life, health, motor and group covers. The data maintained by the repository will include the history of your claims, and also have the names of the beneficiaries, assignees and nominees you have mentioned.
