Electronic Insurance Account (eIA):
It is a facility to the policy holder
to keep all Life & General insurance policies in single electronic account. Even
the physical policies can be dematerialized and maintained in eIA. On having a eIA,
the policy holder need not undergo the KYC formalities for new policies, thus mitigates
repetitive KYC, compliance for speedy, cost effective services across the industry.
Similarly, the eIA level changes /modifications are carried out which would be a
onetime exercise as all the insurers are bound to rely upon this data for communicating
with their policy holders.
