Renewal of Insurance Broker License, before License expiry

An Insurance Broker License, of any type, as per the regulations of the Insurance Regulatory and Development Authority of India (IRDAI), has a validity period of three years after which the license expires if it is not renewed on time. The authorities, just before three months of license expiry, send the Insurance Broker a reminder email to renew his broker license. Afterward, these reminders are sent at an interval of one month informing the broker license holder to renew his/her license before expiry. The broker must pay the required renewal license fee. 

Time for filing the license renewal application form

1. At least 30 days before the expiry of the Certificate of Registration (CoR) of the Insurance Broker firm, there will be no additional fee required to file for renewal. For example, if the date of expiry of CoR is 31/07/21, the application should reach before at least 03/07/21.
2. If you file for renewal thirty days before the expiry of the Certificate of Registration, the additional fee of hundred rupees will be charged. For example, if the date of CoR is 31/07/21, the application should reach from 030/06/21 to 30/07/21.
3. If you file for the license renewal after the date of the expiry of the certificate of registration up to 60 days of the expiry of CoR., the additional fee of 750 rupees will be charged with stating the reasons for the delay in submission. For example,  if the date of CoR is 31/07/21, the application should reach from 30/07/21 to 30/09/21.

The step-by-step process for the license renewal

1. Apply for license renewal before 30 days of the expiration of the broker license, using Form-K available in schedule-I.
2. After successful submission, the authority assesses the application and if required, may seek further clarifications or information regarding the application. The license-renewal applicant is required to submit the demanded information within 21 days.
3. The applicant will pay the required license renewal fee, according to the type of insurance broker license fee, along with the relevant documents for such renewal. The application will not be processed unless the applicant pays the required fee.
