IRDAI Mandates Linking Of Aadhaar With Insurance Policies

The Prevention of Money-laundering (Maintenance of Records) Second Amendment Rules, 2017 were notified by the government in June this year that mandated PAN or Form 60 and Aadhaar for availing financial services including insurance. In addition existing insurance policyholders had been asked to link their policies with unique Aadhaar ID.
IRDAI in a directive to all life and non-life insurance players in the country asked them to comply with the statutory norms without waiting for any further instructions.
